Why everyone should be data literate | Jordan Morrow | TEDxBoise

Love u tedtalks

No mind what he says he makes it sound extremely interesting

Indeed

👍👍👍👍

His opening points, the reason for wanting to become data literate, can be also solved by being more vigilant about statistics intake in media. Look up sources and question every number or indication of a number you read. "Most people.." can be based on a survey held in the US in 100 respondents who are all university students. Or something like "2 out of 5 teens in university..." can refer to only 18 and 19 year olds who are in university, leaving other students out of the dataset.

is an 8bit proccessor running at 16ghz equivalent to a 32bit proccessor running at 4? :)

did you know you need a stuffed animal that calls you names and works for China? because I have one. its called a Furby. :)

i dont trust this guy, he doesnt even have a credit card that displays his ballance. :)

Be curious be creative... Very insightful and thought provoking!

Question everything!

I take a full benefit of this vid about observing and processing data. But imho, the last part (human element in making decision) definetely needs a separate time for more elaboration. Decision making process is very complex and it needs much more than just creativite thinking.

Super excited 😁👏🙌😁

Anything practical here? I don't think so.

so . long story short - YOU DON'T NEED A REFRIGERATOR WITH TOUCHSCREEN !

is your fridge anti vax and flat earth savvy ???

I have no idea what hes talkin about, what i got from this video is that i can buy new piece of tech and have reasons for it (like buying a new phone bcoz it has higher pixel density or whatever)

Un impressed

Why is he talking like that?

This is so important in this new age, I am lucky to have grown up with all of this. I am concerned for the 40+ year olds, it's going to be tough for our parents! I do all I can to minimise the amount of data I consume and also give away. I'd pay above the odds for products that don't make us products ourselves!

You missed you target audience. It was hard to the beginner to relate to you example.

One thing is missing: having access to the right data from a reliable source. Often the most interesting data is missing or inaccessible. Then, there is also the trouble of knowing whether the data is reliable/truthful... To take the refrigerator example, one of the things we typically do not find on the "sheets" is how many years the product lasts without needinga repair....there are many things like that.

Anyone else bothered by his hair line

This long winded and over educated guy needs to question if he has the survival skills to feed his family when the grid goes down for an extended period. All his high tech literacy will be useless then.

Q lastima q no lo entienda y no tenga subtitulos en español.

It getting tougher to find great talks I see!

Muhteşem konuşma için teşekkürler.👏👏🇹🇷🇹🇷

The digital revolution of this generation is rapid.

We know what a newspaper is. Don't start by patronizing your audience.

That's 'datum-literate'. Let's try starting with regular literacy, shall we?

Body language is on point..

In an odd way, that felt patronising.

data is not the new oil. acquiring data can be had with little barrier to entry. oil takes a lot of capital to extract from the earth and process. hackers can get data for free with the know how

"“Figures lie and liars figure”. I've heard this phrase for years and too often, it's the second part of that phrase is true. Numbers and data aren't the problem. It's the statisticians (number torturers) working for people/organizations with an agenda manipulating the data to self-servingly push a conclusion. Usually a bad one.

Great speech

Brilliant Thankyou

Very interesting and informative.

Wow. Inspiring

Whether the belief of: "That knowledge can be enhanced by data ... ," is a truthful comment. Although, one important fact was left out. The fact of data, can either be truthful or fabricated and implemented by digital force.

Data collection has to go through people to get value. Nicely said.

If we only we applied this C*vid deaths we would realise most people would survive without needing experimental treatments without long term safety data. Now we are paying the price for our ignorance and corruption by MSM and governments.

It is 2023, this talk is still up-to-date.

How do I learn about data literacy? Any help?

Let's play a game called "Open This Email Right Now"—you win!

Muy interesante lo expuesto, Y lo más interesante fue cuando dijo que A los dato se les llama el nuevo combustible, que hace referencia a la nueva era digital que estamos viviendo.

O conceito de "Alfabetização de dados" me chamou muita atenção, pois é a verdade, sem estarmos alfabetizados não conseguiremos ler e escrever sobre isto. Alfabetizar significa aprender a ler e escrever e letrar significa compreender e interpretar. Entendo que compreender sobre dados inclui estes dois processos que são complemetares ao desenvolvimento do individuo sobre a temática.

Muito bom!
