We have invented the technology of reality mining, which uses sensor data to extract subtle patterns that predict future human behavior. These predictive patterns begin with "honest signals," human behaviors that evolved from ancient primate signaling mechanisms, and which are major factors in human decision making in everything from job interviews to first dates. Management insights based on Honest Signals were Named a "Breakthrough Idea of 2009" by Harvard Business Review. By using data from mobile phones and other electronic devices to track these honest signals, we can create a "god's eye" view of how the people interact, and even "see" the rhythms of interaction for everyone in a city. Business Week declared this new view of human life to be "the next Net" and Newsweek described it as "the next Google."
