Google Ngram Viewer

Google Ngram Viewer is a tool that sorts through the entire Google Books library for terms or phrases, and charts how frequently they are used throughout literature over time. Users can input a range of time, specify whether the term needs to be case-sensitive, and compare multiple phrases on the same graph using the tool.

Below is an example of a chart created for the term "computer" from 1800-2000.
