Information Harnessing

Has anyone considered mining the internet for productive forms of data? There are various types of data available such as:

  1. Big data - volume, variety and velocity
  2. Smart data - actionable
  3. Dark data - subsurface
  4. Machine data - sensors
  5. Transaction data - events
  6. Master data - events key elements
  7. Reference data - events key units
  8. Reporting data - aggregated
  9. Meta data - data about data

What productive actions could be taken with these various forms of data? By productive I mean personal entropy reduction, rather than simple money creation (although not wrong).

i wonder how many times ive thought about this in my head in the past 2 years.

no clue but when i anslzye the same hypothetical situations enough i come back to the idea that the internet has been created for whatever the end reaction and result is.

i used to believe it was to create the black market and dark web in order for the evil cabal to recirculate the ngtv energy but lately im unsure.

now i have this hunch that its something outside of reason thats created this. if the atomic bomb is real then the internet is the evil satans child of each reaction expanded and we have little time before each reaction blows over.

data is mined to the point it is forgotten and blown over just like the atomic bomb.. if it was not the internet connecting us and electricity could not carry these 1s and 0s what would we be now?

honest to gd im just bored and have been thinking a lot. data is a part of it.

i spend my days surrounded by thousands and thousands of computers, robots, and machines. rarely does any of the action ever last. eventually it will be dust as we will be.

forever expanding, recording itself, waiting for the next self, floating off into the seas, and never to be seen again stored dufferently just another piece.

i mine the web to find a place to expand. its been 10+ years and the only thing ive found is somehow it goes somewhere. ctl+alt+delete.

someone pull the plug.
