We are in an era of big data.? Data Science is becoming a job that is very in demand.? Companies are collecting more information about customers every day to learn consumer behavior for advertising purposes.? Facebook?s privacy policy is subject of debate every couple of months.? It can be hard to invest in trends because the returns of these companies are unproven and the trend might not continue.? You can invest in the big companies that are also on the cutting edge of these trends with much lower risk.

Learn the three companies you can invest in for the big data revolution.

Consider?Google. It generates 89% of its revenues from Internet-search advertising, but it has tentacles spreading into other cutting-edge trends, such as the Internet of Things.

Google burst onto the home-automation scene with its acquisition last year of Nest, which makes smart thermostats and?smoke detectors. Wearable devices include Google Glass (shelved for now) and Android Wear smart watches.

Sure large companies are collecting all sort of information about humans and our behavior.? What about robots though? They also behave a certain way.? How does a wind turbine respond when a part malfunctions? How does a jet engine respond when an aircraft is being flown in optimal winds?? General Electric has a team that collects data from industrial equipment and analyzes it to see how it can manufacture or make improvements for their technology.?
