Google Product Management SVP Jonathan Rosenberg recently published an interesting thought piece about the future of the internet on the Google blog.
One quote caught my attention:
Hal Varian likes to say that the sexy job in the next ten years will be statisticians. After all, who would have guessed that computer engineers would be the cool job of the 90s? When every business has free and ubiquitous data, the ability to understand it and extract value from it becomes the complimentary scarce factor. It leads to intelligence, and the intelligent business is the successful business, regardless of its size. Data is the sword of the 21st century, those who wield it well, the Samurai.
At Swivel, we agree with Hal, extracting value from data is the future. We hope that Swivel will one day be in the quiver of every data Samurai.

Statisticians will indeed play a great role. Too bad, I'm not good in math.
