Big Data has changed advertising, which led to the big merger in the ad business over the weekend. Advertising is all about reaching consumers with hyper-targeted ads; it’s less about “connecting” with them using sentiment and emotional messaging. The guys with the numbers win, and everybody from Google to Coca-Cola has their own numbers now. Also, Amazon says it is hiring 5,000 new full-time workers for its fulfillment centers. The jobs pay 30 percent above average retail wages. So then, the question is: Is working at a fulfillment center a “good” job?
