Poster For many years Data were only valuable for their initial and original purpose. The moment the transaction completed, they were considered a burden, good only for off line archiving and eventual controlling. The last few years there was a cataclysmic change. First, cloud storage enabled to keep all past data on line. Second, data mining technology was able to combine and correlate data and produce extraordinary results. Third, Analytics were able to sift through great amounts of data and come to surprising and valuable conclusions. Most important, since every aspect of the economy and our daily routine was captured directly and produced data automatically, Data were not only Big but mirrored every action, every move and generally anything happening in our lives. We have gathered with the Onassis lectures experts from around the world to sketch not only the Technology, but the earth shaking consequences that will inevitably affect our lives and will influence the way we produce, consume, be informed, act and maybe even think in the future.

Σύντομη περιγραφή του περιεχομένου των Διαλέξεων Ωνάση 2017 στη Πληροφορική Για πολλά χρόνια τα δεδομένα ήταν πολύτιμα μόνο για τον αρχικό και πρωταρχικό τους σκοπό. Τη στιγμή που ολοκληρωνόταν μια συναλλαγή, εθεωρείτο ως επιβάρυνση, καλή μόνο για την μη άμεσα διαθέσιμη αρχειοθέτηση και τον ενδεχόμενο έλεγχο. Τα τελευταία χρόνια υπήρξε μια κατακλυσμική αλλαγή. Πρώτον, η αποθήκευση στο cloud έχει ενεργοποιηθεί για να διατηρεί όλα τα δεδομένα του παρελθόντος σε απευθείας σύνδεση. Δεύτερον, η τεχνολογία εξόρυξης δεδομένων είναι σε θέση να συνδυάσει και να συσχετίσει δεδομένα και να παράγει εξαιρετικά αποτελέσματα. Τρίτον, το Analytics είναι σε θέση να κοσκινίσει μεγάλα ποσά δεδομένων και να καταλήξει σε εκπληκτικά και πολύτιμα συμπεράσματα. Το πιο σημαντικό, καθώς τα δεδομένα αυτά προέρχονται από κάθε πτυχή της οικονομίας και της καθημερινότητάς μας, δεν είναι μόνο Μεγάλα, αλλά αντικατοπτρίζουν κάθε ενέργεια, κάθε κίνηση και γενικά οτιδήποτε συμβαίνει στη ζωή μας. Στις Διαλέξεις Ωνάση συγκεντρώσαμε εμπειρογνώμονες από όλο τον κόσμο για να σκιαγραφήσουμε όχι μόνο την Τεχνολογία, αλλά και τις σεισμικές αναταράξεις που συνεπάγονται και αναπόφευκτα θα επηρεάσουν τη ζωή μας και τον τρόπο που παράγουμε, καταναλώνουμε, ενημερώνουμε, ενεργούμε και ίσως ακόμη και θα σκεφτόμαστε στο μέλλον.
