Be curious be creative... Very insightful and thought provoking!

Data is new oil.. rightly said.. In the era of digital world we need to more aware about what digital world selling us and how mass media manipulating us.. data literacy can help to make better judgement..

His opening points, the reason for wanting to become data literate, can be also solved by being more vigilant about statistics intake in media. Look up sources and question every number or indication of a number you read. "Most people.." can be based on a survey held in the US in 100 respondents who are all university students. Or something like "2 out of 5 teens in university..." can refer to only 18 and 19 year olds who are in university, leaving other students out of the dataset.

Oh...u inspired me to solve the Data interpretation questions which seems impossible thing to me because it has mathematical application. Btw,am finally trying to solve the questions and I know I will smash my mathematics phobia this time... Love from India ❤️

This man makes a great point

What are YOU doing here?

"“Figures lie and liars figure”. I've heard this phrase for years and too often, it's the second part of that phrase is true. Numbers and data aren't the problem. It's the statisticians (number torturers) working for people/organizations with an agenda manipulating the data to self-servingly push a conclusion. Usually a bad one.

Great, great speech, so relevant

This is indeed amazing and good point there. 🔥🔥

I take a full benefit of this vid about observing and processing data. But imho, the last part (human element in making decision) definetely needs a separate time for more elaboration. Decision making process is very complex and it needs much more than just creativite thinking.

This is gold

This is so important in this new age, I am lucky to have grown up with all of this. I am concerned for the 40+ year olds, it's going to be tough for our parents! I do all I can to minimise the amount of data I consume and also give away. I'd pay above the odds for products that don't make us products ourselves!

you probably know that the 40+ have designed all of these products and created the basis for all of it? :-D

One thing is missing: having access to the right data from a reliable source. Often the most interesting data is missing or inaccessible. Then, there is also the trouble of knowing whether the data is reliable/truthful... To take the refrigerator example, one of the things we typically do not find on the "sheets" is how many years the product lasts without needinga repair....there are many things like that.

that's right! I would add the skill of knowing how and where to find reliable sources to that definition of data literacy he gave

Very interesting and informative.

Speech felt empty. Ok, we've been badgered for the past few years about the importance of data literacy. Read and make sense of data. Ok, what does that mean in real life, once the average person gets off of work? Saying that one should be curious and creative means what for Joe Average? In other words; we need ACTIONABLE information. Saying "be aware, be aware!"...and then not following up with concrete steps, is not exactly useful.

But he did give examples in real life: buying home appliances (fridge & washing machine) and analyzing hoax data. As adults with critical thinking, we can interpret his theory with our own frame of thinking and find more examples that works in our everyday life.

Here's what I suggest: 1. Watch a crash course in statistics (to understand more about how data is collected, what the different graphs means, and why we need to talk about confidence intervals when we talk about the results of statistical analyses). 2. Watch a crash course in AI, more specifically Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) to understand how they work and why they are so limited compared to humans (yes, AI is an extremely fast tool, but it has zero creativity or drive). 3. Watch a crash course in data science to understand how data scientists try to use data and AI to analyze data, automate processes, and make predictions. Once you do that, try to apply what you learn to the things you read. You don't have to conduct your own analyses or create your own prediction algorithms, but you'll better understand what you read. Who knows what path that will take you on? Think of this as learning a new language. For example, if you don't know French right now, reading a French paper will do nothing for you. But if you start learning a little French every day, in a few months you'll be able to read things you couldn't have read otherwise. And, for some reason, we humans love that: doing interesting, mentally stimulating things, even if many of them have no practical value. But again, that's what makes us special. 😊

Data literacy is still important, even when it's not important for everyone. And it should be important for everyone as there's much manipulation going around before elections for example (Okay, you could argue "that's information literacy, it has nothing to do with data", but still it's important)

Indeed

Nice, but information sheets are not always made to be comprehensive. It's a bit like using HP for cars. Why not use torque, gear ratios and weight instead? Nah. But yet a 110HP engine can beat a 2000HP engine.
