Loads Of Data - Boring or Inspiring?

If you were to be given 90,000 hours worth of video, would you find it boring?

In this incredibly inspiring lecture, Deb Roy relays his experiences of bringing home his first born child and all the momentous moments that occur during the first three years of life - learning to walk, learning to talk, understanding emotions. These moments are incredibly special for all parents and I'm sure that a lot of them would love to relive those moments if they could, the pride they felt watching their baby learn. 

Roy did just that, by installing cameras to his family home, he can review those special moments again and again. He captured every moment of his son's first three years in 90,000 hours of video and 140,000 hours of audio. 

The lecture shares not only those momentous moments - there's a lovely moment of his son's first steps - but also tracks the way in which his child learns and grows and slowly becomes a toddler that can walk, run, jump and more specifically - talk. 

This lecture is an inspiring look at how youngsters track their caregivers actions and speech and eventually grasp the concept of speech. 

So, who said 'too much data is boring?'. Because I think they got that wrong. Lots of data can be so many things, if it is explored with an open mind and a purpose. Deb Roy's data is explored and explained in the most inspiring of ways. Check it out for yourself.
