it<00:00:15.920> feels<00:00:16.119> like<00:00:16.240> we're<00:00:16.359> all<00:00:16.520> suffering<00:00:16.880> from
it feels like we're all suffering from
it feels like we're all suffering from
information<00:00:17.640> overload<00:00:18.160> or<00:00:18.439> data<00:00:19.039> glut<00:00:20.039> and
information overload or data glut and
information overload or data glut and
the<00:00:20.920> good<00:00:21.039> news<00:00:21.240> is<00:00:21.400> there<00:00:21.480> might<00:00:21.640> be<00:00:21.720> an<00:00:21.840> easy
the good news is there might be an easy
the good news is there might be an easy
solution<00:00:22.400> to<00:00:22.560> that<00:00:22.680> and<00:00:22.800> that's<00:00:22.960> using<00:00:23.279> our
solution to that and that's using our
solution to that and that's using our
eyes<00:00:23.760> more<00:00:24.359> so<00:00:24.560> visualizing<00:00:25.119> information<00:00:25.599> so
eyes more so visualizing information so
eyes more so visualizing information so
that<00:00:25.840> we<00:00:25.960> can<00:00:26.119> see<00:00:26.760> the<00:00:26.960> patterns<00:00:27.320> and
that we can see the patterns and
that we can see the patterns and
connections<00:00:28.039> that<00:00:28.279> matter<00:00:29.279> and<00:00:29.400> then<00:00:29.560> design
connections that matter and then design
connections that matter and then design
in<00:00:30.279> that<00:00:30.439> information<00:00:30.920> so<00:00:31.039> it<00:00:31.199> makes<00:00:31.439> more
in that information so it makes more
in that information so it makes more
sense<00:00:32.279> or<00:00:32.399> it<00:00:32.520> tells<00:00:32.759> a<00:00:33.000> story<00:00:33.840> or<00:00:34.320> allows<00:00:34.640> us
sense or it tells a story or allows us
sense or it tells a story or allows us
to<00:00:35.000> focus<00:00:35.399> only<00:00:35.680> on<00:00:35.800> the<00:00:35.960> information<00:00:36.480> that's
to focus only on the information that's
to focus only on the information that's
important<00:00:38.200> failing<00:00:38.680> that<00:00:39.640> visualized
important failing that visualized
important failing that visualized
information<00:00:40.399> can<00:00:40.559> just<00:00:40.680> look<00:00:40.960> really<00:00:41.320> cool<00:00:42.320> so
information can just look really cool so
information can just look really cool so
let's
let's
let's
see<00:00:45.360> this<00:00:45.480> is<00:00:45.640> the<00:00:45.840> billion<00:00:46.480> dollar<00:00:46.879> a<00:00:47.120> gram
see this is the billion dollar a gram
see this is the billion dollar a gram
and<00:00:48.120> this<00:00:48.440> image<00:00:48.879> arose<00:00:49.719> out<00:00:49.879> of<00:00:50.079> frustration
and this image arose out of frustration
and this image arose out of frustration
I<00:00:50.840> had<00:00:51.039> with<00:00:51.160> the<00:00:51.320> reporting<00:00:51.760> a<00:00:51.920> billion
I had with the reporting a billion
I had with the reporting a billion

dollar amounts in the press that is
dollar amounts in the press that is
they're<00:00:54.359> meaningless<00:00:54.960> without<00:00:55.399> context<00:00:56.399> 500

it's there you can do cool stuff like
it's there you can do cool stuff like
this<00:13:58.040> so<00:13:58.160> I<00:13:58.279> converted<00:13:58.680> this<00:13:58.759> into<00:13:59.120> to<00:13:59.399> an

this so I converted this into to an
interactive<00:14:00.199> app<00:14:00.880> so<00:14:01.040> I<00:14:01.120> can<00:14:01.360> now<00:14:01.600> generate
interactive app so I can now generate
interactive app so I can now generate
this<00:14:02.240> application<00:14:02.800> online<00:14:03.160> this
this application online this
this application online this
visualization<00:14:03.959> online<00:14:04.639> and<00:14:04.759> I<00:14:04.839> can<00:14:04.959> say<00:14:05.279> yeah
visualization online and I can say yeah
visualization online and I can say yeah
brilliant<00:14:06.000> so<00:14:06.720> it's<00:14:07.240> it<00:14:07.399> spawns<00:14:07.880> itself<00:14:08.519> and
brilliant so it's it spawns itself and
brilliant so it's it spawns itself and
then<00:14:09.079> I<00:14:09.160> can<00:14:09.320> say<00:14:09.600> well<00:14:09.920> just<00:14:10.040> show<00:14:10.240> me<00:14:10.399> the
then I can say well just show me the
then I can say well just show me the
stuff<00:14:10.880> that<00:14:11.199> affects<00:14:11.600> heart<00:14:11.920> health<00:14:12.759> so<00:14:13.399> let's
stuff that affects heart health so let's
stuff that affects heart health so let's
filter<00:14:13.959> that<00:14:14.120> out<00:14:14.680> so<00:14:14.880> heart<00:14:15.120> has<00:14:15.240> filled<00:14:15.600> out
filter that out so heart has filled out
filter that out so heart has filled out
so<00:14:15.800> I<00:14:15.880> can<00:14:16.000> see<00:14:16.519> if<00:14:16.639> I'm<00:14:16.839> curious<00:14:17.160> about<00:14:17.360> that<00:14:17.720> I

have a look we look at the data and we
have a look we look at the data and we
see<00:17:39.240> yep<00:17:40.080> volcano<00:17:40.440> emitted<00:17:40.720> 150,000<00:17:41.520> tons<00:17:41.880> the

see yep volcano emitted 150,000 tons the
ground<00:17:42.200> in<00:17:42.400> plain<00:17:42.720> would<00:17:43.039> emitted<00:17:43.520> 345,000<00:17:44.520> if
ground in plain would emitted 345,000 if
