Abstract

In this paper we discuss the social philosophical and educational aspects of Big Data. Coined as a term for the mechanism of collecting, storing, and processing huge amounts of data, Big Data has lead to visible shifts in scientific research and the understanding that there is now a novel culture of information and communication technology. We discuss the processes of gathering Big Data and its affect on all areas of social development, including research and fi One of the applications of this technology is in the sphere of higher education; a function, forecasting Big Data development has been determined and is discussed in the following paper. A vivid example of using this technology in the process of university teaching and research is given based on a novel interdisciplinary project of Reshetnev Siberian State University of Science and Technology (Krasnoyarsk, Russia). This project is aimed at building a geographical information system on the basis of large amounts of geographical data collected by remote sensing equipment.
