History
The notion of least number of bits technology was first proposed for artificial intelligence applications in the 1990s as a means for encoding vast amounts of knowledge into the least amount of storage possible. The concepts were prototyped in the late 90s to demonstrate significant value in various types of computer applications, particularly those faced with having to store and process extremely large volumes of data for analysis. The deployment of least number of bit methods facilitated efficient and effective use of available network bandwidths for global applications, and rendered conventional data warehousing technologies obsolete within the applications wherein LNB technology was introduced.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication. It dominates the relation with the self, with the past, not infrequently with the present, always with History and, even, with the European tradition.”
—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
“Anything in history or nature that can be described as changing steadily can be seen as heading toward catastrophe.”
—Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
“The history of work has been, in part, the history of the worker’s body. Production depended on what the body could accomplish with strength and skill. Techniques that improve output have been driven by a general desire to decrease the pain of labor as well as by employers’ intentions to escape dependency upon that knowledge which only the sentient laboring body could provide.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
