Human Knowledge according to Google
A perspective, a point of view, an interpretation on the archive does not only resides in the choice of documents –what to include or not–, but it's already developed when the categories and the structure of the archive itself are defined.
Aim: Highlighting meaning derived from the structure, not from the contents of the archive/database.
Google's mission: Organize the world’s information and make it universally accessible and useful.
In which way is Google organizing world's information? Is there a place in which one can access the system?
As regards the search engine the process is not completely transparent, but one can have access and even structure his/her own categories for adverts.
An example of categories guessed by Google for an 25years old Irish lad.
Counterinformative, paranoid alert: As a result Google is not only organizing world's information but also users by interests and search history.
