Inner life: what makes computers wonderful
15th March, 2007Every now and again something comes up and you think is insanely great. David Bolinsky’s inner life of a cell is just such a gob-smacking-jaw-dropping-beautiful-experience. I have always been a little skeptical about sci-art projects (are they about showing that geeks have souls or is it about sugar on what should be intrinsically interesting anyway?). However this transcends any objection I may have. If it had voice over instead of phone-hold-music it would really be a significant piece of learning media. There are more clips on YouTube

This was met at the Knowledge Seekers realm with ‘Get It!’ A regular response these days around here. When we stared on this adventure three months ago, who would have thought that a field of learning we had been told ‘Would not work’ would be so advanced, so pervasive [The new Buzz], and so inclusive of learners. I have to have the crew double shift just to keep up.
Bias Declared.
