Predictive analytics is the practice of predicting the future outcomes based on the information from the existing data sets.
We all know that data is like a knife which depends on how we are using it.
The personal data of an individual is much valuable than the person.
Such data are much cheaper but lasts forever without taking much space.These individual data are used in predictive analytics by some companies to predict their future trends.

Do you think it'll become a threat to human in future? Share your views.
