    Or perhaps there will be a huge demand for user-friendly interfaces that will allow typical managers and decision makers to analyze big data with little specialized training.

    I liked how the article posted ended with very practical, accessible suggestions to increase understanding of big data analysis - reading certain books or articles.

      I'd love to see that huge demand for UX that allow everyone to analyze big data! Great point. And thanks so much for the kind words on the practical suggestions. I'm always seeking where to start and suspect others do too.

    Just like there are no more "Powerpoint Specialist" jobs, over time perhaps big data analysis will be part of regular "management."
