How Humanity Created So Much Data & Computable Knowledge (Infographic)

Media_httprwwreadwrit_ubqjc

Steven Wolfram and team have gathered together a big timeline of key events in the history of systematic data and computable knowledge. The team has created a beautiful infographic and a five foot long poster available for mail order (I just bought one, $15 with shipping) in anticipation of the Wolfram Data Summit in DC early next month. We're really at the dawn of a whole new age of data creation, and so this timeline will likely look like pre-history relatively soon, but it's fascinating and important none the less.
