A lifetime ago, when I worked in Consumer Research, Big Data, and Insights, parsing through unstructured data brought my team and me so much joy. We would “ooh” and “ah” over the different trends that emerged in our analysis. Even during lunch, we’d stare at our office TV, where Google Trends ran in the background, keeping us attuned to the latest topics and what was interesting in different parts of the world.
In this modern age, where AI gives us the ability to understand more about the specific topics we seek, it’s important to remember that learning about other global trends helps maintain our perspectives and stay empathetic as humans.
In the post below, I have set up multiple iframes of Google Trends searches across different regions of interest:
