# Based on what you have seen of the FDA database, do you feel that you have a better understanding of how the data mentioned in section 5.1—Spotify music, Fitbit exercise tracking, Twitter tweets, IRS tax returns, etc.—might look when stored on a computer?

#*The FDA database assignment definitely gave me a clearer idea of how data in Section 5.1 is stored. Databases aren't really something I think about when I'm listening to music on Spotify or looking at Twitter, but I imagine that the information is handled in a very similar way as to what is done on the FDA tables. It's intriguing to imagine all of the music files on Spotify laid out in a table like the one we worked with, but it makes a lot of sense and is simultaneously very overwhelming because of how much data exists out there! The FDA database, furthermore, showed me how important it is to be so meticulously organized when it comes to these big data projects and it makes me have a lot of respect for those who organize and update databases.

# Section 5.2 half-jokingly says that, by building a bookstore, you actually built the death of bookstores. You just built a drug database—have you actually built the death of pharmacies? What do you think of this analogy?
