Topic: The Need for Data Mining

Overview: Over the last decade, advances in processing power and speed have enabled us to move beyond manual, tedious, and time-consuming data mining practices to quick, easy, and automated collection for data analysis. The more complex the data sets, the more potential there is to uncover relevant insights.
