Big data engineer here...

This is what a LOT of open source hackers don't understand about modern systems.

It's all about the data.

Most "futuristic" technologies that we're going to see in down the road are going to be built using absolutely massive data sets.

Data sets that aren't in the public domain.

This effectively locks out hackers and open source enthusiasts and means that only companies like Facebook, Google, and Amazon get to play with all the cool toys.




Open data isn't glorified to the same degree as open source is by the common hacker, but it should be. That's where the future is headed
