Can you think of a new way to collect consumer data that will give CPG companies the information they need to improve products and services, but at the same time, deliver real benefits to consumers?

1. Explain your idea in terms of who the consumer is and what type of data will be gathered.
2. How will the data be gathered? 
3. How can the CPG brand use the data that is gathered?
4. What is the reward/benefit for the consumers sharing their data?
5. List 1-2 CPG brands that are currently doing a good job of collecting and rewarding for consumer data. How do they do it?

Suppose, there is a legacy system utilizing the Von Neumann architecture for the past twenty years of sales forecast. But due to the increasing amount of data and processing requirements, the Von Neumann Bottleneck has reduced the overall system’s performance. Among the many ways, you need to select either “in-memory processing” or providing a “cache” between the processor and main memory to overcome the Von Neumann bottleneck. The factors to be considered are cost, floating point operations, and scalability.

Your selection must be supported by logical arguments.
