A 2:24 minute TED on our electronic tatoos and four lessons from the Greeks regarding: 1. Sisyphus: our electronic reputation 2. Orpheus & Eurydice: not to look back to far 3. Atalanta & Hippomenes: remembering your purpose 4. Narcissus: Don't fall in love with your own reflection and a Latin lesson about the threat of immortality.
Great reflective piece for anyone, students included, who spend a lot of time online... Delete the scoop?

I really love how this video very simply and creatively explained a topic that is not so easy to condense. It was very easy to watch and I never lost interest in what they were talking about; it was the perfect length between moderately short to too long. I love the illustrations, as well, I think they explain the more difficult to understand parts of the big bang in a way that even young children can understand. And of course who doesn't love particles with funny faces? The universe is an extraordinarily huge size, on a scale that we mere humans cannot fathom and will probably never be able to comprehend, so I liked that the maker of the video didn't focus too much on the ever-expanding part of the big bang theory. I feel like adding that in can make someone feel like they're in over their heads (no pun intended), but it's the truth and it needs to be mentioned. While this theory is not 100% proven, I think it's the closest we have to an answer that makes sense, and it's important to at least consider the idea that it all started with a bang.
