Back to the Recorded Future
Google is building a time machine and it's calling it Recorded
Future. While it will not allow you to go back in time it will
allow them to search into your future.
Basically it allows financial analysts, intelligence
analysts, and predictors to organise and aggregate future observations. Recorded Future organizes information about the future
and makes it available to our users. Recorded Future's customers are some of
the top government agencies and trading firms in the world.
Recorded Future is not part of Google, but one of the
very few companies that Google Ventures is investing, Its software crawls the
internet collecting references to future events, adding them to a database, and
using secret algorithms to analyze it.
The user can search this database using three boxes and
get a timeline that goes back and forward in time.
