With the rise of big data, they can capture much more information from a wealth of new sources as it happens” this means that as the big data rises, the more useful it becomes” (5). He also mentions that the big data is very useful tool for marketing. The use of the big data makes the hiring process a lot easier for the CEOs as with a click of a button, he/she can search the things he is looking for in an employee.

The future for big data might seem great, but until it’s reached to that point, big data can’t be very reliable. As for now, there is “the risk of too many correlations,” and even the simplest error could make a huge difference (Marcus 3). We both agree on the fact that using the GPS saves the overall use of gas in the country however, it doesn’t always route us the shortest way to our destination which can result in more use of gas. So the use of big data is only reliable to some extent. The use of the big data as mentioned by Mr. Rosenbush mostly seem to be in favor for businesses.
