About book The Numerati (2008)

Quite interesting, put it suffers from a lack of depth. The author isn't an expert on the subject, but he tried to talk to many people who are. These people either couldn't divulge their trade secrets (like people from the NSA) or were doing things that were too complicated for the author to understand or perhaps translate to writing for the general public. To me the most interesting (and potentially terrifying) part is the potential of them using these techniques in the field of education - it's acknowledged that we understand very little about how much different factors impact students, but I don't trust our lawmakers not to try these techniques sooner rather than later to grade our schools and our teachers. الكتاب يشرح كيف يقوم علماء الريضيات وشركة البرمجيات بدراسة ٍاليب وانماط الحياة لدى الفرد وتحويلها لمعادلات رياضية بغية استنتاج تصرفات معينة أوسلوك معين يمكن من خلاله الإستفادة منه في توجيه الاعلانات التجارية او الحملات الإنتخابية أو توقع مرض معين وحتى توقع النزعات الإجرامية للفردالكتاب يناقش هذه النقطة كما يناقش ايضاً سلبية هذه الدراسات حيث انها تسبب انتهاكاً صارخاً لحرية الأفراد
