Alma

This lovely video is created by Rodrigo Biaas and is a sweet short film about a girl called Alma.

I wanted to post it on here as my housemate Vicky, had to do a music production piece on it and it sounds completely different to this original one.
I havent got a copy of her’s unfortunately but she did get a 1st in it :)

What’s your number?

The world’s population is expected to hit seven billion in the next few weeks. *(this has now passed!) After growing very slowly for most of human history, the number of people on Earth has more than doubled in the last 50 years. Where do you fit into this story of human life?

This is a really interesting interactive way to show the world population and how you fit into it.

This one’s mine :)

History of English in 10 minutes

As well as the science aspect of information in the last post, The Open University has done a couple of short animations to explain the history of English in 10 minutes (as the name would suggest).
I thought I would show them to you as it’s a lovely way of learning something new in a not so boring way!

1. Anglo Saxon

2. The Norman Conquest

3. Shakespear

4. The King James Bible

5. The English of Science

6. English and Empire

7. The age of the Dictionary

8. American English

9. Internet English

10. Global English

60 second’s Adventures in Thought

These cool little animations are on the Open University Youbtube account and are tidbits of information.
I like the simplistic drawings they do, and the fact it’s displayed as though on a post it pad.

1. Achilles and the Tortoise

2. The Grandfather Paradox

3. The Chinese Room

4. Hilbert’s Infinite Hotel

5. The Twin Paradox

6. Schrödinger’s Cat
