Technology brings progress and convenience, so what does big data bring?

The era of big data: great changes in life, work and thinking was published on 2012; Author Victor? Meyer? Schoenberg predicted in the book that the information storm brought by big data is changing our life, work and thinking.

This book uses three parts to discuss the viewpoint of "Big Data Age: Great Changes in Life, Work and Thinking":

The combination of artificial intelligence and big data has slowly provided a quantifiable dimension for human life and work. Part of science and technology promotion is new application = new technology+existing industry.

The follow are my thoughts aft reading it:

New application = new technology+existing industry

"Get app" releases e-book product updates, and its main appeal is "full-text retrieval".

In the past, when you searched for "keywords", only the title and this "keyword" appeared; If you search for "keywords" in an open book, only relevant ones will appear in the book.

The change this time is that "keyword" is not only the title of the book, but also the content of the book with "keyword", which is full-text retrieval.

I think this can be said to be a big data application. For full-text retrieval alone, the factor of "incomplete sampling" is realized.

"Get app" uses a large number of e-books and information processors to provide the "keywords" you need, so that e-books can generate new applications. In the future, if the computer's reading software "ibooks app" such as key finder (Spotlight) or "kindle app" can also use this mode to search for "keywords". The application of big data has really changed our lives and made reading more convenient and different.

Wan Weigang mentioned the reading method of intensive reading in the book Never Imagine: Understanding the World with Science and Engineering Thinking. One of the requirements is to "find the connection between this book and other books or articles I have read before." In the past, we all took notes by ourselves or used "impression software" to help. If you can search in full text, you can directly find past related articles or notes with notes, so that you can intuitively link and extend the contents of other books.

We are connected because of the convenience of science and technology, such as the appearance and application of WeChat, which is far more convenient to contact people in 100. On the product of WeChat official account, many people create content in order to get a sense of accomplishment and get bonuses. Big data is a bit like this feeling. At first, I also felt a little far away from me or had nothing to do with me, and I was not engaged in this industry.

meanwhile

If we use "thinking of science and engineering" to understand the world and use critical thinking to think independently, it will produce completely different ideas. And these thoughts or actions may bring you a sense of accomplishment or get dividends in the future.

Big data can be said to be comprehensive textualization and digitization. We don't just see the sample, we are comprehensive, and we will also have related connections, not causal connections.

Related links are recommended books by Amazon. When you buy a book at Amazon, he will recommend "products recommended according to your purchase situation" and "products you have recently checked and related recommendations".

This is a relevant suggestion. When you buy this book, it will be recommended to you according to the person who bought it and other books. It is a recommendation related to this book, which is supported by data.

Amazon has a large number of books to buy, which makes you feel, "It turns out that after others bought this book, they also bought other related books, so maybe I need it." This feeling.

What Amazon offers is "the relevance of buying books".

This book "The Age of Big Data: Great Changes in Life, Work and Thinking" has a burning feeling to read. Maybe this one is developing and connecting with us. Just like a mobile phone with buttons as its main function ten years ago, there are no buttons at all now.

I never thought I could pay by mobile phone before, but only by credit card. But the reality is that the use of mobile phones has gradually replaced credit cards, and it is much safer and more convenient.

The change of science and technology is not terrible, the terrible thing is that you don't realize it yourself. For example, the road ahead is under construction. If you look down at the phone and don't notice the front, it's easy to be dangerous when you pass by. Accepting new knowledge is like looking up at the environment, looking at the construction notice or roadblocks in front, at least you can pass safely.

The development of big data may not be like this, I am not sure.

but

I think the development of artificial intelligence, big data or Martian immigrants will definitely bring some changes and changes. The progress of science and technology makes people enter different worlds and make people think. What can we get here?

Just like the era when the printing press was invented, seizing this opportunity at that time may make you achieve printing career; Knowing more information can help us make better choices and face them.

From 20 12 to 20 19, it has been seven years since the publication of this era of big data. Big data is intersecting with our lives, no longer parallel lines.

May we all fly in this wave.
