This paper reviews the history of information re-trieval (IR) from punched cards and the first pro-grammable computer (the ENIAC of 1945) to the present day Web searcher Google and Microsoft’s “cognitive technology” Watson. The review is based on three major factors in the development of IR; (1) the enormous increase in computing power over the last 72 years, (2) the “competition” between statis-tical analysis of text and Natural Language Pro-cessing (NLP) in which the two have finally to a large extent converged, and (3) the corresponding changes in human intervention in the IR process.Downloads
