Big data and the military

Duration:
18 minutes
First broadcast:
Wednesday 21 November 2012

US army Lieutenant General Jeffrey Talley, head of the US army reserve, tells us how big data can change the course of a war. We look at how data will change the way we all work with a visit to a reassuringly old-fashioned office.

Dr Antonia Ward, head of research at the Future Laboratory, tells us about the future office, while Dale Barnes, the director of advanced technologies and innovation at Virgin Media explains why we're about to face an avalanche of data in the future.
Plus, our regular technology commentator, Jeremy Wagstaff, says there is a new world of work, with outsourced jobs that are both interesting and well-paid.
