+### **Benefits of Databases**
+
+![db-icon-1]({{< usestatic "intro-dbaas/db-icon-1.png" >}}) 
+
+#### **Why use computerized Databases?**
+
+Because it makes it easier to:
+- sort data
+- search and find data
+- add, edit or delete data
+- store large data sets efficiently
+- access data at the same time by multiple users
+- import and export data from and to other applications
+
+If there are advantages, then there are also disadvantages, and to get a complete picture of the database situation, let us contrast them.
+
+![db-icon-2]({{< usestatic "intro-dbaas/db-icon-2.png" >}}) 
+
+#### **Advantages of Databases:**
+
+- Data Sharing
+- Data Security
+- Data Abstraction
+- Concurrent Access
+- Easy Data Manipulation
+- Support Multi-User Views
+- Data Redundancy Controlling
+- Data Inconsistency Minimizing
+
+![db-icon-3]({{< usestatic "intro-dbaas/db-icon-3.png" >}})
+
+#### **Disadvantages of Databases:**
+
+- Cost of Software
+- Cost of Hardware
+- Cost of Staff Training
+- Cost of Data Conversion
+- Complexity of High Availability
+- Complexity of Backup & Restore

+### **Data**
+
+Data is the fuel of our society. Can we agree on that? There were many bold statements over the years to underline the importance of data. Data is the new oil; Data is the new gold; all variations you have probably come across if you follow the news, media, or social media. Data is the new water - is a fresh analogy you can find in researching the data topic.
+
+" Like water, data needs to be accessible, it needs to be clean, and it is needed to survive." - Dan Vesset (IDC)
+
+
+![cloud]({{< usestatic "intro-dbaas/data-word-cloud.png" >}}) 
+
+*Data Word Cloud*
+
+The water analogy is probably more appealing because we should be more fond of water than gold or oil for many reasons, but it is pretty evident from a pure survival point of view.
+We are getting back to our core topic data and databases. The collection of (important) data in the past and storing it in databases for reuse and archiving it for preservation is as old as humanity. For example, the Sumerians already used clay tablets to keep the index of medical prescriptions as a form of database, so databases started long before computers were even invented.
+The increase in the volume of data we produce every year has reached an almost frightening value. The digital revolution induces the reason for this exponential increase in data production. Keeping track and oversight in this data situation, we have to improve and invent new data tools, or otherwise, we would get lost in data.

+### **History of Databases**
+
+**Part 1** of the History of Database Evolution covers the events until the initiation of an industry around database technologies. This was also illustrated in the last unit and the linked History of Databases YouTube video. 
+
+
+![history-part-1]({{< usestatic "intro-dbaas/history-part-1.png" >}}) 
+
+**Part 2** of the History of Database Evolution is about the influence of new technologies and the emergence of new players with new clever ideas (new database models). Today is all about combining, improving, optimizing, and automizing all available database models and their respective implementations (closed source and open source). The future is focused on driving business innovations with specialized database models specifically built/developed for business requirements.
+
+
+![history-part-2]({{< usestatic "intro-dbaas/history-part-2.png" >}}) 
+
+A glimpse of the future can be found in this excellent wired.com blog post infographic from approx. 2016 (The Future of the Database -- © wired.com). Unfortunately, the article is not available anymore, but the graphic survived on the internet. It gives an excellent summary of the past and predicts the future, as seen in 2016.
