I like GilPress' blog - "A Very Short History of Big Data" which summarizes big data's brief history starting 1944 when Fremont Rider, Wesleyan University Librarian, published The Scholar and the Future of the Research Library. In December 2008, Randal E. Bryant (CMU), Randy H. Katz (Berkeley), and Edward D. Lazowska (Univ of Washington) published “Big-Data Computing: Creating Revolutionary Breakthroughs in Commerce, Science and Society.” They wrote: “Big-data computing is perhaps the biggest innovation in computing in the last decade. We have only begun to see its potential to collect, organize, and process data in all walks of life. A modest investment by the federal government could greatly accelerate its development and deployment.”

The History of Big Data
Suddenly, every people talks about Big Data. When did Big Data start? Who invented the name - Big Data?

According to another article - "Forrester: Big data – start small, but scale quickly", the name "big data" originated as a tag for a class of technology with roots in high-performance computing, as pioneered by Google in the early 2000s. It means the history of "Big Data" - people started to use the name - is about 10 years.
