Consumers and the Data Science Trend

[Niv_Neos]

At the current posting of this thread, Data science is really hot in the consumer sphere around the world, with the entrepreneur culture being the basis for this. I'm curious how will the businesses utilize this trend that they create because Python is free. I hypothesize that it's to get more new employees but the entrepreneur culture seem to counter-intuitive to this as it turn them into pseudo-producers, I'm guessing it's creating a new market for this breed of consumers but what?

Also what generation are more populated in this trend? I'm thinking it's mostly Gen Z but are there a lot of Millennials? What about the older generations, or are they just into the alternative products trend?
