Big data technology turns everything into computerized information, so everything has its own data footprint. These footprints come together to form a data world that maps everything. By mining the data world, everything can be calculated and recognized. Our black box world is gradually open and transparent. Everything can be recognized, grasped, and predicted. Although big data may diminish individual privacy and even threaten personal freedom, through the precise portrayal and analysis of big data, people will gradually come to understand the laws of nature and society, and those once hidden in the black box will gradually move from the realm of necessity to the realm of freedom. Big data, therefore, brings a new world of freedom while bringing constraints to individuals.
