I'd like to make it clear that I don't believe in technosolutionism, in the sense that I don't think such a technology will solve our problems: although it may help, above all we need to be more sober in our relationship with digital technology, and in particular we must avoid storing data unnecessarily as much as possible. We discussed this issue, among others, with Marc Antonini, with whom I co-wrote the video.
-
Am I dreaming or is this a parallel universe? I thought we won't get any videos for the next two or three months. Thank you science clic.
-
Was not ready for the fluent baguette in the beginning ! Bien fait 🇫🇷 !
-
“Hey you brought the hard drive?” “Yep” inserts finger in the usb slot
-
im a molecular biologist, i discovered your channel a few days ago and you are already my favorite channel, please keep up the biology videos!
-
I can't wait for solid state bacteria for data storage!
-
Another iconic and momentous video from science clic. Great work brother, keep it up.
-
It makes me want to scream out loud in joy. During my undergraduate course, I was taught about a few bio inspired comuting algorithms, but using bio inspired storage is completely mind blowing concept.
-
Why there are no ads in your videos? Is it because you want to deliver the ultimately understandable knowledge aport you can? and ads ads just don't do that. So here, an ultimate master piece for a concept that at least could work, instead of some skillshare crap. When it comes to YT, funding, and what the channel does. I think this is the best answer even if delivered with a 'but can be wrong' comment. The beauty in it, the economy of words. Man, you are what legendary will refer to once we are all gone.
-
This channel is amazingly captivating. More uploads will be awesome!
-
Why does every video on this channel absolutely blow my mind?
-
Always makes me giddy when I see a new vid from you guys. Feels like a new season of your favorite series just got released.
-
As an aspiring theoretical physicist and also who loves biology, especially DNA and genetics, I love your channel. Also you have shown the mathematics of relativity is another W
-
Wow, I keep being amazed by how far we've gotten as a species, all these videos bringing these complex subjects to an understandable level for free is just amazing. Thanks ScienceClic for all the work you put in, your work will alaways be supported ♥
-
One of my favorite channels on this planet, please make more content
-
Every one of your videos is top quality. Thanks!
-
Seriously, those pronunciations in the beginning were wildly impressive. Good shit.
-
This was a very good video as always. It has yet again widened my view of the world. Thanks for maintaining such a quality. I would also like to point out that your voice is so comfortable to listen.
-
This is very amazing!! A whole summary-like lecture is represented in this video!!
-
S-tier video on a fascinating subject, thank you
