How companies like Amazon and Netflix know what "you might also like" the history, technology, business, and social impact of online recommendation engines.

Increasingly, our technologies are giving us better, faster, smarter, and more personal advice than our own families and best friends. Amazon already knows what kind of books and household goods you like and is more than eager to recommend more; YouTube and TikTok always have another video lined up to show you; Netflix has crunched the numbers of your viewing habits to suggest whole genres that you would enjoy. In this volume in the MIT Press's Essential Knowledge series, innovation expert Michael Schrage explains the origins, technologies, business applications, and increasing societal impact of recommendation engines, the systems that allow companies worldwide to know what products, services, and experiences "you might also like."

Schrage offers a history of recommendation that reaches back to antiquity's oracles and astrologers; recounts the academic origins and commercial evolution of recommendation engines; explains how these systems work, discussing key mathematical insights, including the impact of machine learning and deep learning algorithms; and highlights user experience design challenges. He offers brief but incisive case studies of the digital music service Spotify; ByteDance, the owner of TikTok; and the online personal stylist Stitch Fix. Finally, Schrage considers the future of technological recommenders: Will they leave us disappointed and dependent--or will they help us discover the world and ourselves in novel and serendipitous ways?

Sturdy and secure
It took a few tries to get it positioned exactly as i wanted it but once that was done it hasn't moved. I have a Samsung s25fe phone with a case and it fits just fine. Seems secure. It does shake slightly while driving on bumpy roads but it doesn't move positions and I don't feel like my phone is going to fall. So far it's been great.

Quality cell phone mount.
The best cell phone mount I ever used. Quality is obvious after you easily install. This hasn’t moved since I placed it in my car. I like that it doesn’t block the air vent too. (You can move any angle you like). Won’t disappoint! Good buy!

Good product.
This works well. It's sturdy and holds the phone well. It does keep the vent from adjusting but not a big deal.
