We are now living in the age where big data thrives and there is a heavy reliance on the data that had been collected. There is so much data collected, some are useful but some are not representative of the facts.

Shopping habits so far have been most useful where browsing history do suggest what kind of products people are searching and interested about and by tapping on that data, shopping platforms can seed more suggested products to purchase for consumers, giving them choices and inducing them to make purchases.

However, when it comes to other forms of data such as annual salaries and incomes, some might just cheat surveys to put in what they perceive themselves to be so that they qualify for the survey for some rewards. And this is where facts collected might just be an image and not exactly what it is on the ground. There are so many of such ill collected data that misrepresent social demographics and needs to be taken with a pinch of salt when summaries of such data is being shared.
