Big Data refers to large volumes of complex data that cannot be processed by traditional software tools. It is characterized by the three Vs: Volume, Speed and Variety. Small Data is a part of Big Data, which refers to smaller and easily accessible data.
The term Big Data emerged in the 1980s with the massive growth of the Internet and the increase in data generated. However, the perception of whether it is manageable or not depends on the context and the human ability to process it.
Starting with Small Data can be an initial step to enter the world of Big Data, especially in commercial or production areas, as it provides gradual learning and training.
