Ya, big data only starts at 100,000,000 PB. Everyone knows that.

There is no size requirement. It's more about what you collect, the frequency, the coverage, and how you use it.

"Big data" is anything that's too big to cram into a standard database and still access in reasonable times. There's a practical definition, it doesn't just mean "YUUUGE".
