The most recent thing I have wathched is this TED talks video that features Michel Stevens from Vsauce. I follow a lot of this educational videos and youtube such Veretasium and videos by C.P.G Grey becasue they open my mind to new ideas and allow me to raise some new questions, I try and go out of my way an watch these type of videos on the everyday basis. In this speciefic video is Michel focuses this video on "why do we ask questions." Michael explains that he enjoys seeing peoples ways of expressing learinging new eye opining facts and that why he likes to propose these type of questions to his audience (in a manner that a teacher should enagage theirt students.) The counter argument was introdced by reacalling a girl he oneced talked to behind stage, he asked if she knew why the sky blue and she replied " I think I once knew but I doesn't really matter."Michael presents this as one of his main concerns and address it by brining "Raellies Scattering"(the explanation of why the skey is blue) and brining in other topics that can possibly relate. So, why are your eyes blue? becasue of Raellies Scattering, and that is how Michael gets a bigger audience to pay attenition in his videos. I can persoanlly relate to these type of videos becasue most of the people that I know come to me for many sorts of explanation, specially my youger siblings. And it feels kinda awesome to know the explanation that people throw at you. Since I am going to be an electrical engineer, it would be an essaintail skill to know how to get complicated subjects and turn it into somethings a 2nd grader would understand. Hence the power of communication. For the most part, I likesomething I watched when I learn things that can help me explain the world a little bit more, that or something that just made me laugh. It just depends in what context I am watching the video for; for example, If I am watching a video that is suppose to make laugh and it succeds then I will like the video, even if it has nothing on it but other people lauging.

Saul,
ReplyDeleteThough I get the very general sense of what this TED tallk was about, I am a bit confused by your details/examples. Also, there are a number of spelling (use spell check) and grammatical errors throughout: Remember to READ your paper aloud!!! (or, have someone else take a look at it).
