EVERYBODY LIES

Every time we use Google, we reveal something about ourselves.

Seth Stephens-Davidowitz used to be a data scientist at Google.

He's the author of the book, "Everybody Lies: Big Data, New Data And What The Internet Can Tell Us About Who We Really Are."

According to Seth:

"Areas that supported Trump in the largest numbers were those that made the most Google searches for nigger."

According to Seth:

"The greater the percentage of foreign-born residents in an area, the higher the proportion of children born there who go on to notable success. 

"If two places have similar urban and college populations, the one with more immigrants will produce more prominent Americans."

According to Seth:

There is evidence that:

16% of men's porn searches are for incest themed videos.

25% of women's porn searches are for masochistic sex.

According to Seth:

On social media, such as Facebook, women tend to describe their husband as being “the best,” “my best friend,” “amazing,” “the greatest” and “so cute.”

On Google search, women tend to refer to their husband as being “a jerk,” “annoying,” “gay” and “mean.”
