Akumangazi ukuthi abantu bafuna ulwazi mayelana nomkhuhlane lapho begula. I-Google ithole indlela yokuthinta lo mkhuba futhi uyisebenzise ukulinganisa umkhuhlane womsebenzi ngesifunda. Bathola ukuthi idatha yethando lokusesha empeleni yayingamasonto amabili masinyane kunendlela yendabuko yeCCDC (Center for Disease Control) yokulandela ukuqhuma komkhuhlane.
Amathrendi we-Google Flu azokunika ukulinganisela kwezinga lokuvuthwa kwamanje e-USA noma ukulidiliza isimo ngesimo. Ungabona futhi amathrendi kusukela eminyakeni edlule futhi useshe indawo yokuthola umkhuhlane oseduze nawe.
Idatha enkulu
Amathrendi we-Google Flu isibonelo sezinto ezitholakalayo ezingenziwa nge "idatha enkulu," igama elisetshenziselwa ukuchaza amasethi amaningi aqokiwe noma angaqondakali adidekile kakhulu futhi ayinkimbinkimbi ukuze ahlolwe ngokusebenzisa izindlela zendabuko.
Ukuhlaziywa kwendabuko kwedatha ngokuvamile kuhilelekile ukugcina lokho okuqoqene ukuze ubukhulu obuphathekayo. Abacwaningi basebenzise amasampula amanani amanani amaqembu amakhulu kakhulu ukuze benze ukuqagela ulwazi mayelana neqembu elikhulu. Isibonelo, ukuvota kwezombangazwe kwenziwa ngokubiza inamba encane yabantu futhi ubabuza imibuzo. Uma isampula sifana neqembu elikhulu (uthi, bonke abavoti eMassachusetts), imiphumela yocwaningo yeqembu elincane lingasetshenziswa ukwenza ukuqagela ngeqembu elikhulu. Udinga ukuba nesethi yedatha ehlanzekile futhi wazi ukuthi ucabangani.
Idatha enkulu, ngakolunye uhlangothi, isebenzisa amasethingi wedatha ngobukhulu ngangokunokwenzeka-tshela, yonke imibuzo yokucinga ku-Google. Uma usebenzisa isethi yedatha enkulu, uthola futhi "idatha edidayo": okufakiwe okuphelele, ukufakwa kokuseshwa ngamakati ukuhamba phakathi kwamakhibhodi, njalonjalo. Kulungile. Ukuhlaziywa kwedatha enkulu kungathatha lokhu futhi kuphelile ukudweba iziphetho ezingenakutholakali.
Enye yalezi zinto zatholwa yizikhombandlela ze-Google Flu, ebheka ama-spikes emibhalweni yokucinga yezibonakaliso zomkhuhlane. Ngeke uhlale u-Google, "Hey, nginomkhuhlane. Kulungile Google, kuphi udokotela eduze kwami?" Uvame ukucinga izinto ezinjengokuthi "unhlokweni nomkhuhlane." Ithenda elingaphakamiso elingaphansi kweqoqo eliyinkimbinkimbi nelikhulu lemibuto yosesho yinto eyenza Amathrendi we-Google Flu.
Lokhu kungaphezu nje kwendlela entsha ngoba ihlola ama-flu spikes ngokushesha kune-CDC. I-CDC incike ekuhloleni okuhle komkhuhlane odokotela nezibhedlela. Lokhu kusho ukuthi abantu kufanele bagule ngokwanele ukuba bavakashele udokotela ngezinombolo eziwanele ukudala i-spike ekuhlolweni komkhuhlane, bese-ke ama-labs kufanele abike lo mkhuba. Abantu bazobe sebegula ngenkathi nikwazi ukuhlanganisa ukwelashwa.
