 Big data is already a thing from the past again \[1\], but that doesn't mean that we should forget what we
 learned about managing big data - or, let's call it large data for now. Data transmission, storage and
-management are increasingly seen as bottlenecks or even roadblocks for simulation science and AI. However,
+management are bottlenecks or even roadblocks for simulation science and AI. Furthermore,
 there are also increasingly large experimental facilities and satellites, which produce more data than we
 can handle. And you may also think of self-driving vehicles or autonomous robot systems here.
