HarrisJeanne Harris at Strata 2013: “The movie we are in people is not Fields of Dreams, it’s Groundhog Day. We have to learn from the patterns of history. ….back in 1980s they were talking about the data deluge…. We have done a lot of this before. If we don’t do things differently this time we are going to miss the moment and I don’t think we can afford to have that happen.”
