Time Series, the new shiny?

Immediately following the part you quote (my emphasis)

  Well, as it turns out, thanks to the software-eating-
  the-world thing and the Internet of Things we happen to be
  amassing *vast quantities* of all sorts of data [...] The
  demand for systems that are capable of storing and
  retrieving temporal data on an *ever increasing scale*
  necessitates systems that are specifically designed for
  this purpose.

Strongly implying the big deal is the need to scale?

That's an obstacle that needs to be overcome because you want to get somewhere. A challenging obstacle that has spawned an entire industry, but nevertheless not the goal. It is implied we can get somewhere new and exciting with these vastly larger timeseries. My question is: where?
