I was watching a show about a computer system that monitors the Internet and other traditional media and shows what words and phrases (all languages) are rising through the chatter. It could have been for the NSA or Wall Street, I forget, but it's very interesting to see how all that supposedly random noise can be sifted to show new trends.
