Data Science is here to stay. The biggest example of how Data Science has changed the world is Google search engine which analyses huge datasets and provides you with what you requested. Data Science also offers lots of career opportunities such as Data miners, data analysts, Data entry, Data engineers e.t.c. Some of the programming languages to get you started include R which is widely used for analysis and data presentation, Python which has specific data centric libraries such as scipy and numpy and you can also use Ms Excel advance features such as Pivot Tables to do data analysis. You will also need a mathematical knowledge base especially stats if you are to become a successful data scientist.
