鈥eople鈥檚 search for information is, in itself, information. When and where they search for facts, quotes, jokes, places, persons, things, or help, it turns out, can tell us a lot more about what they really think, really desire, really fear, and really do than anyone might have guessed. This is especially true since people sometimes don鈥檛 so much query Google as confide in it: 鈥淚 hate my boss.鈥� 鈥淚 am drunk.鈥� 鈥淢y dad hit me.鈥�There鈥檚 lies, damned lies and then there are statistics. One must wonder. Do the lies get bigger as the datasets grow? Seth Stephens-Davidowitz posits that the availability of vast sums of new data not only allows researchers to make better predictions, but offers them never-before-available tools that can offer insight that direct questioning never could.
