We use data every day to help make decisions. Which cell phone has the most features for the best price? What were the reviews of the movie we want to see? Does the type of shoe I buy help me play a sport better?
By looking at data and data trends, we can make decisions based upon research rather than taking a guess and hoping for the best.
