Vague and misleading at best. If the author does actually understand MapReduce, he's taking the brain analogy a bit too far here.

- frisco 18y agoI really doubt he does understand it. That's a terrible explanation of MapReduce, and then makes it sound like it's secret Google tech that will take over the world-- parallel computing isn't new, and even MapReduce itself has an open source clone now. It's really surprising to find an article like that on HBR.
- incomethax 18y agoI think he must have heard the term "Artificial Neural Network" and made some hasty inference that it means something having to do with the brain. On a side, is it just me or has HBR putting out more link bait in the past couple of weeks?
