Social Physics | MIT | A new way of understanding human behavior based on analysis of Big Data

How can we create organizations and governments that are cooperative, productive, and creative? These are the questions of social physics, and they are especially important right now, because of global competition, environmental challenges, and government failure.


The engine that drives social physics is big data: the newly ubiquitous digital data that is becoming available about all aspects of human life. By using these data to build a predictive, computational theory of human behavior we can hope to engineer better social systems.

Google Maps now lets you revisit your location history in a detailed timeline | DigitalFootPrint | DigitalCitiZEN

Google Maps now lets you revisit your location history in a detailed timeline | DigitalFootPrint | DigitalCitiZEN | information analyst | Scoop.it

It’s inspiring — in a crazy sort of way — to consider how efficient Google can be in keeping track of information about you. Today, Google announced the launch of “Your Timeline,” a tool in Google Maps that shares with you all the places you have been. It works if you chose to store your Location History with Google.


Product manager Gerard Sanz detailed the feature in blog post, as the company gradually rolls out the timeline for Maps users.


It could definitely serve as a convenience. What with our busy lives, sometimes it’s hard to remember all the stops along the way. Google sees Your Timeline as a way to quickly recall, and even view your past whereabouts.
