British physicist Stuart Parkin, one of the brains behind the global “big data” revolution, on Wednesday won Finland’s answer to the Nobel Prize, which is awarded by Technology Academy Finland.
“Prof. Parkin receives the 2014 Millennium Technology Prize in recognition of his discoveries, which have enabled a thousand-fold increase in the storage capacity of magnetic disk drives,” the independent foundation said in a statement, adding that his innovations paved the way for streaming movies and other media via the Internet.
