In this special episode of the Futurum Tech Podcast — The Interview Series, Daniel Newman welcomes Bill Lobig, Vice President of IBM's Content Services, to discuss how the way we manage content has evolved. After all, content is the cornerstone of the internet, and the way we treat it is changing—thanks to developing technology. More specifically, in this podcast, Bill noted that there are two types of content: structured data and unstructured data—and we treat them differently. The unstructured data in particular has been more difficult to deal with, as it's made up of documents, text, and videos. It takes a lot of time to read or view, so it's hard to get information out of it. But that's been slowly changing due to the digital transformation, which happens to be the backdrop for everything that's going on right now.
