Data Revolution

The Structure of Data Revolutions can be a great book title, paraphrasing Kuhn's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions. Using the essential idea in Kuhn's book, probably never fully perceived at his time, was that the frequency of terms being cited in a society can be reliably assessed by a connected computing system, such as Google Trend or other similar tool. This kind of capability will enable quantitative analysis of paradigm shift at a very large scale. Therefore, a new era of data revolution can take place, but still follow the original thesis of Kuhn's early vision.
