E Labor in the age of large data

The author of the concept of labour, which I had raised in 2002, considered that the concept would help to understand the original and ancillary labour needed to be carried out around computers and networks, and that this new type of labour would be the future of social wealth and http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/ Aggregation/38391.html "> The main manifestation of labor value.

Around 2006, large data concepts were presented. Computers and networks connect countless forms of data acquisition sources, storing huge amounts of information. From then until now, the concept of e Labor has been greatly expanded and extended, and its essential meaning has yet to be further explored. Also around this, the it circle for the practitioners engaged in the e Labor has a more image, some of the abuse of the common commonly known as: Code farmers.

This time we have been discussing a particularly noteworthy situation surrounding e Labor from the recent search for the MH370 flight incident. Dozens of countries involved in the search, dozens of satellites, hundreds of ships, hundreds of aircraft, carrying the most advanced detection, monitoring, detection equipment, successively in the South China Sea, Malacca Strait, the Indian Ocean search for 3 weeks time, accumulated a large number of data.

However, of all these data, only the 7 ping signals from the MH370 engine recorded by Inmarsat (Inmarsat-Inmersat) are reliable data and are being used effectively, with the efforts of tens of thousands of experts and technicians, only the British air Disaster Investigation Office (AAIB) The analysis of the 7 ping signals by more than 40 people offers no doubt that the flight is "terminated" in the Indian Ocean's core region, no less than 2500 kilometres away from any land.

Let's go back to big data and e Labor. The search used unprecedented human and material resources, in the rear computer room of professionals, countless amateur and volunteer computer screen on the time and effort can not be counted, all participate in the search for the nation's data acquisition capacity and analytical statistical capacity is very strong, but no convincing conclusion. In the MH370 incident, E Labor failed to achieve high efficiency. That's why the rumors have been rife for a long time and conspiracy theories have prevailed. People rely on satellites, radars, airplanes and ships to give a variety of data, but ultimately can not trust the data, which can not draw effective conclusions.

AAIB analysts have done simply, assuming that the INMERSAT data indicate that both routes are possible, then using the Doppler effect to analyze the carrier frequency drift of the ping signal, you can determine exactly which route the plane is flying along. The analysis showed that the frequency of the 3 ping signals at first was higher, indicating that the plane was flying to the equator, and 4 times the ping signal had dropped, indicating that the plane was away from the equator. It can be judged that the plane is flying along the South channel.

At present, people continue to work hard to search for the aircraft ping signal disappeared adjacent large areas. This work will continue for a long time and it is too early to make an overall assessment of the scientific and technical impact of the event, but we now have two lessons: one is the big data age, and a large part of the work of e is simply accumulating data. The second is that the labor itself does not necessarily improve the efficiency of labor, it needs to add scientific knowledge is efficient. In other words, ordinary "code farmers" Labor value is not high, with a solid scientific knowledge of the "Code farmers" is the great data age of the creators of labor value.
