By the end of on average day in the early 21st century, human beings searching the Internet will amass eight trillion gigabytes of data. This staggering amount of information - unprecedented in history - can tell us a great deal about who we are - the fears, desires, and behaviors that drive us, and the conscious and unconscious decisions we make. From the profound to the mundane, we can gain astonishing knowledge about the human psyche that less than 20 years ago seemed unfathomable.

Scientific method?
Revisado: 09-12-18
Fun and interesting. But I am not persuaded that his methods and his conclusions were as scientific as the “real sciences” such as physics, chemistry, etc.

Scientific developments radically alter our understanding of the world. Whether it's technology, climate change, health research, or the latest revelations of neuroscience, physics, or psychology, science has, as Edge editor John Brockman says, "become a big story, if not the big story". In that spirit this new addition to Edge.org's fascinating series asks a powerful and provocative question: What do you consider the most interesting and important recent scientific news?

Lots of wasted time
Revisado: 07-23-18
Each topic is only a few minutes long and is based on the work of a different professor, author, etc.
Which is okay...
The problem is that they spend half of these few minutes reciting the credentials of the author.
For example (I made this up): "John Doe, professor emeritus and holder of the cosmos chair of astronomy at Princeton University and author of the book "XYX" ... etc. It quickly becomes very annoying.

The Mongol army led by Genghis Khan subjugated more lands and people in 25 years than the Romans did in 400. In nearly every country the Mongols conquered, they brought an unprecedented rise in cultural communication, expanded trade, and a blossoming of civilization.

What did you like best about Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World? What did you like least?
I am trying to learn more about world history, but there is no way I need this level of detail about Genghis (pronounced "Jen' Gis" ).
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Didnt get anywhere near the ending,
