'Data', The most mysterious face I ever met in my life. They retains relationships with all of us. The strength of relationships vary based on their relevance. A popular song lives with the name of its director for years together, a ground breaking invention can change the future of a company, A controversial announcement against a political leader will end up in life threatening phone calls, sometimes data can save thousands of life from an earth quake. Basically data has a role in each and everything that happens in this world.
It is not just Tweets or Facebook posts, it can even be the finger print on your mouse scroll button, or as an increased viewer count of this article. Even a thought or an idea generated in your mind is also data. It is getting generated all around us in each seconds, some of them are getting noticed but many of them stay behind the wall. We don't know when and how they are going to come out and playing their role.
Infinite amount of data take birth in each seconds. Among that less than one percentage of them are getting noticed, a small set of them will become very popular. At birth time, factor of popularity remains same for all. when time moves forward some of them will get noticed very soon, rest of them wait for their right time, some will wait forever and will get noticed after decades like fossils. What makes data popular?
Popularity of data depends on multiple factors like, the chances of getting captured, the type of data, the way of getting it captured, the visibility, the time of birth (timely jokes), the popularity of its creator, the popularity or importance of some related data, etc.. Some of them competes each other, for example trending news in news-channels.
If you are closely watching the life of data you can see the ups and downs of its life cycle.
