FRIAM-ers--
I'm not sure if you've seen this report,"The Promise and Peril
of Big Data." It's a current and interesting read.

"According to a recent report(1), the amount of digital content on the Internet is now close to five hundred billion gigabytes. This number is expected to double within a year. Ten years ago, a single gigabyte of data seemed like a vast amount of information. Now, we commonly hear of data stored in terabytes or petabytes. Some even talk of exabytes or the yottabyte, which is a trillion terabytes or, as one website describes it, “everything that there is.”2
