1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:06,799
for those who aren't old enough to remember the before times the long long

2
00:00:04,319 --> 00:00:11,120
ago aka before the internet it used to be that when two people would argue

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:15,559
about something vitally important like uh which band sang a particular hit from

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:20,000
the 1980s they would have to settle it by asking a third party dusting off a

5
00:00:18,039 --> 00:00:24,920
toome of knowledge delivered straight to their door by a handy dandy salesman or

6
00:00:23,119 --> 00:00:29,400
by simply assuming their friend was wrong as always nowadays if we need to

7
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:34,760
know something quickly we take it for granted that we can Bing it and find an

8
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:38,079
answer almost immediately sorry I couldn't keep a straight face there we

9
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:43,200
take for granted that we can Google it and find an answer almost immediately

10
00:00:40,399 --> 00:00:48,199
but what even many of our us techno files forget is that the internet didn't

11
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:53,199
magically bring with it the ability to find anything in this giant computer

12
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:58,000
network and that early neens were basically limited to browsing websites

13
00:00:55,399 --> 00:01:03,000
they already knew how to access or were able to guess that is until some clever

14
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:07,560
programmers decided that information on the internet would be much more useful

15
00:01:05,320 --> 00:01:12,720
if it were made readily available to people and so the concept of the

16
00:01:09,799 --> 00:01:16,840
modern-day search engine was born the first generations of search engines were

17
00:01:14,759 --> 00:01:21,079
a bit cruder than those that we use today and mostly consisted of simple

18
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:25,880
website listings with little to no information beyond their basic titles

19
00:01:23,159 --> 00:01:30,000
but as the information Super Highway began to fill with more and more traffic

20
00:01:28,240 --> 00:01:35,200
it quickly became clear that websit sites would need to be tracked using a

21
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:38,079
slew of methods Beyond titles so bot

22
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:42,479
programs known as webcrawlers or spiders were created to automatically scan

23
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:46,640
websites for links and content information such as keywords titles

24
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:52,960
synonyms access frequency relevancy rating authenticity credibility spam

25
00:01:49,079 --> 00:01:55,719
content Etc to be cocooned neatly in a

26
00:01:52,960 --> 00:02:00,560
little web of indexes for users to access by way of a search bar but if all

27
00:01:58,719 --> 00:02:05,000
it took to create a su uccessful search engine was throwing more stuff into a

28
00:02:03,159 --> 00:02:09,679
big database then we might still be asking geves for things no the

29
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:14,120
programmers and mathematicians who work for top modern search providers are

30
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:19,160
constantly devising ways that they can use algorithms to find the most

31
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:23,560
important pieces of data that are related to a user's search let's say

32
00:02:21,239 --> 00:02:28,440
Linus Tech tips so they deliver a bunch of links to that website in a top- down

33
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:33,760
fashion as opposed to technology tips about lions or something but even that

34
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:37,920
is not enough anymore and the best search engines even use databased

35
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:43,400
information they've collected about their users to help deliver better more

36
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:48,560
tailored results and while that level of attentiveness is useful in minimizing

37
00:02:45,599 --> 00:02:52,959
daily hassle such as search times we have to decide at some point if a

38
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:57,920
corporation knowing we meant apple and not apple is more important than the

39
00:02:55,720 --> 00:03:01,840
Privacy that we give up because as many have already realized it's no

40
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:07,120
coincidence that the advertisements on every page we visit feature the specific

41
00:03:04,519 --> 00:03:14,560
new game or PC part that we've been drooling over for some time which o well

42
00:03:10,640 --> 00:03:17,120
um H this is awkward well which

43
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:22,159
normally contains the whatever it is you've been drooling over for some time

44
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:26,360
and this entices advertisers into purchasing ad space that directly

45
00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:30,760
targets users who are interested in their products or services at a premium

46
00:03:29,519 --> 00:03:35,720
even though in this case it clearly misfired something that helps them

47
00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:40,640
charge more for the ads since the theory does actually work in practice and

48
00:03:37,799 --> 00:03:45,319
targeted ads have become so commonplace that from my experience folks are now

49
00:03:43,159 --> 00:03:50,560
not only more likely to click them but even get bothered when they see

50
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:53,519
non-targeted irrelevant website ads go

51
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:57,680
figure speaking of ads here's one now that I think will be relevant to many of
