A few weeks ago at work when some insane, ignorant imbecile came around telling us all how "backwards" we were for "not looking into big data", I explained the following:

We have moved waaaay further than all that "big data" nonsense!
We are now looking at a much better and totally original concept:
"Beyond Data"!
It's utterly simple: we just take a guess and then fudge a few figures and
spreadsheet graphics to make a "reality match" possible.
Look at the advantages:
1- No need for expensive very large storage facilities. 2- No need for expensive and outdated backup facilities. 3- No need for extremelly expensive and unmanageable Exa-this-and-that hardware. 4- No need to spend enormous amounts developing "bigger than Ben-Hur"application software projects in Outer Mongolia. 5- Cheap cloud provisioning inbuilt in the whole process - indeed some might say it's the whole process!

Apparently he didn't like the concept and left, fuming. Ah well, what can I say? "architect 1.0"?...
