The police use data to predict the risk of burglary by area and week of the year, whereas insurance companies adjust their prices based on client data. Schools adjust educational programmes based on what is known about student progress. Companies, public institutions and governmental organisations: they all use the continuous stream of big data to describe and predict human behaviour.
