Neither tools nor people alone can solve the challenges of Big Data. They must work together and that is the promise of data science. Despite advances in software tools, the number of people with experience using these tools, and with real-life exposure to large-scale data sets, is small. Data science is a young field, and its growth will be fueled as much by technology as through the mentorship of new acolytes by leading practitioners.

Naveen claims, “I just wanted to make something that excited me, that would help me do cool things…that my buddies would use.” But what he saw cresting in the culture at the time was that mobile was becoming the next major medium. He explains, “people are open about what they want to see from the world; sometimes a problem is evident. Sometimes it’s not.”. Four square filled a need we didn’t know we had. That’s vision.
