Warp-PLS and the Gold Mine Every Company Does Not Know They Have

The rise of technological devices has forever changed the way we do things in our everyday lives. Just as it played a big impact on everything we do, technology also changed how we see many things. For instance, everything we do with our devices nowadays generates data. Even though we might not be aware of it, we all generate significant amounts of data, and in the right hands, this data can prove to be a gold mine waiting to be discovered. Much like this, businesses generate a vast amount of data that, without any interpretation, can go unnoticed. Data analysis will prove to be crucial in the foreseeable future as more companies start realizing that within them is the answer to all their problems.

Respect & Learn

This article originally appeared in the February 2016 print edition. By Michael Hernandez When I was growing up my mother tended to be very lenient towards me and rarely did she ever punish me. In fact, she encouraged my random and brass behavior. Still she did so under one condition, respect others and yourself. As funny a combination as it may sound --- a young kid doing as he pleases yet respecting his elders ---I assure you it was true. Respect is a value my mother preached in the house hold.
