How Companies Use ‘Big Data’



A person in Brussels once found
That Big Data had got around
To using his thoughts
In sending robots
As pedlars to on his door pound.


A gelatine made from donkey hides is prized
As a traditional Chinese remedy.
Now slaughterhouses have opened
In Africa, and domestic animals are
Disappearing from villages.
From the New York Times


@RachelNuwer


The life of a donkey is sad.
Their skin drives the Chinese quite mad.
Boiled down as a glue
It cures yaws and flu --
In bed they become Galahad.

@lisarya  


Reporters are naughty sometimes,
And for editorial crimes
Their boss must be quick
To wield a big stick;
It stirs up their well-read enzymes.


Dairies Are Awash

The pampered cow has been replaced
By almond trees, from which a paste
Is churned to be drunk --
The cows, in a funk,
Are laying the countryside waste!
