Download Search: How the Data Explosion Makes Us Smarter AudioBook Free
Search is as old as terminology. There has been a need for someone to find something in the jumble of human creation. The first web was only transferring verbal histories down the years so others may find please remember how not to get consumed; the first search used the power of written terminology to make simple indexes in printed literature, leading to the Dewey Decimal system and reverse indices in newer times. Then digital occurred. Besides having serious societal effects, it also made the function of searching almost impossibly intricate for both motors and searchers. Information isn't just words; it is pictures, videos, thoughts tagged with geocode data, routes, physical world data, and, more and more, the machines themselves reporting their condition and listening to others. Search: How the Data Explosion Makes Us Smarter holds up a mirror to our time to decide if search will keep up.
