Business Intelligence & Day to Day life - 01

        I am very sure if I am writing a post on the above topic one post would not be enough.
Also would like to make you aware what this post would be about:
- Is Business Intelligence for Organisation and Business Houses only ?
- Does a common consumer person practice BI ?
- Do consumers come across Business Intelligence scenarios quite ofen ?
- What is the foundation of Business Intelligence ?

Let me stop there and at least answer one question in this first post.
      Business Intelligence is based on following two quotes I came across:
- "Old age is Encycelopedia" - More applicable to the Business aspect. & the other
- "There are only two type of classes the Educated and the Poor; the poor are poor because they are ignorant" - More applicable to the consumers.  

     Bottom line is Both 'The Producers and the Consumers' have to co-exist and each of them would like to perform BEST; by practicing BI - Modern Economics spontaneously.
