【英音模仿秀】大数据 大变革

模仿文本：Now I'll admit I was a little skeptical¹ about this whole big data idea. Mankind has always been very keen on collecting data. What's a library if not a big data repository? So isn't big data just more of the same? The Business Daily editor decided² I needed some re-education and sent me to a big data conference in a city famous for its ancient libraries - Oxford³.
