A witty, exhilarating and mind-expanding exploration of the word of our times - data - with mathematician Dr Hannah Fry. Following in the footsteps of BBC Four's previous gleefully nerdy, award-winning maths films The Joy of Stats, Tails you Win - The Science of Chance and The Joy of Logic, this new high-tech romp reveals exactly what data is and how it is captured, stored, shared and made sense of. Fry also tells the story of the engineers of the data age, people most of us have never heard of despite the fact they brought about a technological and philosophical revolution.
For Hannah Fry, the joy of data is all about spotting patterns. She's Lecturer in the Mathematics of Cities at UCL as well as being the presenter of the BBC series Trainspotting Live and City in the Sky, and she sees data as the essential bridge between two universes - the tangible, noisy, messy world that we see and experience, and the clean, ordered, elegant world of maths, where everything can be captured beautifully with equations.
Along the way the film reveals the connection between Scrabble scores and online movie streaming, explains why a herd of Wiltshire dairy cows are wearing pedometers, and uncovers the remarkable network map of Wikipedia. What's the mystery link between 'marmalade' and 'One Direction'?
The Joy of Data also hails the giant contribution of Claude Shannon, the American mathematician and electrical engineer who, in an attempt to solve the problem of noisy telephone lines, devised a way to digitise all information. It was Shannon, father of the 'bit', who singlehandedly launched the 'information age'. Meanwhile, the green lawns of Britain's National Physical Laboratory host a race between its young apprentices in order to demonstrate how and why data moves quickly and successfully around modern data networks. It's all thanks to the brilliant technique first invented there in the 1960s by Welshman Donald Davies - packet switching - without which there would be no internet as we know it.
But what of the future, big data and artificial intelligence? Should we be worried by the pace of change, and what our own data could and should be used for? Ultimately, Fry concludes, data has empowered all of us. We must have machines at our side if we're to find patterns in the modern-day data deluge. But, Fry believes, regardless of AI and machine learning, it will always take us to find the meaning in them.
开篇的景色太美了，从来都是只在电影里见过的景色，什么时候才有机会亲眼目睹。刚开始我还没理解弹幕清一色的老师辛苦了，慢慢看完才理解这句话的含义，年轻老师不远万里去支教，淳朴善良的孩子们、憨厚热情的老乡们本身就是一副美丽的画卷，是要静下心来慢慢看的！
很好看很有意义的一部电影。他们的感情真挚且淳朴。他们勇敢，坚定，顽强，懂得感恩。不畏环境艰苦。一个知识青年上山下乡，一个支援教育让边远贫困地区的孩子学习到了远超他们想象的东西，老师们也给予了孩子们梦想和希望，当然并不是所有人都能做到像韩老师一样，毕竟艰苦的程度远超城市人想象，但是相信坚持下来的人会发现这里的真诚和善意。
7.6 以动画转制现实来进一步混淆不可靠叙事，“我”的一小步越过了“人类”的一大步，“两次”登月的平行剪辑高潮竟如此举重若轻，而是以其为核心在离散的叙述间拼贴出60s的美国风情画，林克莱特对于时代符号的迷恋可见一斑。
人类的童年，都是充满了替代幻想、纯洁的牛逼和过后即忘的特点。
里面是有很多的演员，还有小演员都是本地人吗？藏语很好听哎
3.5。看著林克萊特用如此粗淺報菜名的方式懷念童年所處的時代，只會讓人感慨伍迪艾倫在《無線電時代》裡四處洋溢的才氣。
少年心怀航空梦，几乎每一个男孩都憧憬着有朝一日能够漫步太空，亲临月之暗面。画风延续《黑暗扫描仪》，以动画的方式再一次回味并上演《少年时代》，理查德·林克莱特依旧温情浓酽，令人动容。记忆中的岁月，伴随着成长的历程被贴上鎏金的滤镜，嬉皮士、太空乐园、阖家坐在电视前、青少年的游戏还有旧电影，经历的事情愈多，这些少年往事便变得愈加弥足珍贵。所以呈现出的怀旧复古气息中也增添了不少美化添加剂。记忆越来越远，曾经的年代浓缩成一个符号。留下情怀，慢慢感怀。
Love the interwoven perspective and nostalgia
理查德·林克莱特的少年时代，美国六十年代流行文化万花筒。不过终究是属于别人的。想想我们的六十年代，真是羡慕不来。。
大量的生活细节让这出太空版60年代版的《少年时代》变得可爱，但缺少了主题就容易变成一出放松但催眠的流水账。
小朋友的记忆亦幻亦真让人有些迷糊，但他们那一代美国人的生活经历真是异常丰富精彩。
特别是在当下，一切都停滞了的现在，拥有一个无限可能的未来就愈发显得难能可贵，令人热泪盈眶
现在我大概明白民族志式电影的意思了
不管是经历过六七十年代的他们，还是现在的我们，似乎都在怀念着那个黄金时代。
花很大篇幅murmur太空時代的「小歷史」記憶哈哈哈，不太管阿波羅登月的「大歷史」傳奇——即使少年自己就是（聲稱）當事人。
童年还是值得怀念的，懵懵懂懂的天真纯粹。
属于那种拍的还行，但用宝贵的空闲时间看会后悔的类型
好的电影总是没有推送头条，搜索榜单，活跃在影院，什么时候传递正能量竟成为了一种奢侈
虽说演员不是那些特别出名的名角，但是他们的演技非常棒，每个人把角色还原的非常好
意外的有趣 果然一直还差60年 流行文化和消费主义的鼻祖
