What if you could see yourself as others see you? What if you
could have a “gods eye” view of how the people in your social
network interact? Or `see’ the rhythms of interaction for everyone
in your town? Reality Mining, described by MIT's Technology Review
magazine (2/08) as `a technology poised to change the world,' is
beginning to make this possible. We are in the midst of an explosion of information about
people and their behavior, but most of it is noise. Reality Mining sifts through this
noise to discover the `honest signals’ hidden within: subtle
patterns that reliably reveal our relationships with other people, and
accurately predict our future behavior. Honest signals are the true
measures of our selves and our society, beginning with our mental functioning
and extending to our cultural rhythms, and offer an unmatched window into
our financial, cultural, and organizational health. By understanding
these subtle patterns we can better understand ourselves, and begin to
create true collective intelligences, as described in my book `Honest
Signals,' published by MIT Press. |
