Give two examples of a large databases that might be used to help members of the public

Examples of large database that might be used to help members of the public are;

1) Apple Healthkit, Carekit and Researchkit

2) IBM Deep Thunder

Explanation:

1) The use of medical aid wearable devices that give instant data feed into the the a patients electronically stored health record has become possible and include the listed Apple technologies that enable the iPhone get instant access and feed back on individual health records

2) Large databases are used for weather forecasting by the processing of big data with the aid of very powerful computers by IBM Deep Thunder, which can also forecast natural disasters and the likelihood of wreckage in utility lines.

the benefits of raising bc’s minimum wage to $15 through a

series of pre-announced staged increases far outweigh the likely

costs. claims that such an increase will lead to massive job losses

in low-wage sectors of the economy are not credible.

• an increase to $15 would result in some job losses. however,

the likely impact is less than a 1 per cent reduction in the overall

provincial employment rate, and a 7.6 per cent reduction in the

employment rate for those currently making between $10.25

and $15 per hour.

• the large job loss impacts predicted by some opponents of

minimum wages misrepresent the existing economic research. in

reading and using that research, it is important to recognize that

estimates showing job loss effects of minimum wage increases

apply only to teenagers. estimated effects for young adult and

adult workers range from insignificant to non-existent.

• focusing on teenage workers plays up an inaccurate stereotype

about who earns very low wages in bc and leads to exaggerated

claims about job losses. only 26 per cent of those currently making

between $10.25 and $12 are teenagers, and only 5 per cent

of those making between $12 and $15 are teenagers.
