A witty, exhilarating and mind-expanding exploration of the word of our times - data - with mathematician Dr Hannah Fry. Following in the footsteps of BBC Four's previous gleefully nerdy, award-winning maths films The Joy of Stats, Tails you Win - The Science of Chance and The Joy of Logic, this new high-tech romp reveals exactly what data is and how it is captured, stored, shared and made sense of. Fry also tells the story of the engineers of the data age, people most of us have never heard of despite the fact they brought about a technological and philosophical revolution.
For Hannah Fry, the joy of data is all about spotting patterns. She's Lecturer in the Mathematics of Cities at UCL as well as being the presenter of the BBC series Trainspotting Live and City in the Sky, and she sees data as the essential bridge between two universes - the tangible, noisy, messy world that we see and experience, and the clean, ordered, elegant world of maths, where everything can be captured beautifully with equations.
Along the way the film reveals the connection between Scrabble scores and online movie streaming, explains why a herd of Wiltshire dairy cows are wearing pedometers, and uncovers the remarkable network map of Wikipedia. What's the mystery link between 'marmalade' and 'One Direction'?
The Joy of Data also hails the giant contribution of Claude Shannon, the American mathematician and electrical engineer who, in an attempt to solve the problem of noisy telephone lines, devised a way to digitise all information. It was Shannon, father of the 'bit', who singlehandedly launched the 'information age'. Meanwhile, the green lawns of Britain's National Physical Laboratory host a race between its young apprentices in order to demonstrate how and why data moves quickly and successfully around modern data networks. It's all thanks to the brilliant technique first invented there in the 1960s by Welshman Donald Davies - packet switching - without which there would be no internet as we know it.
But what of the future, big data and artificial intelligence? Should we be worried by the pace of change, and what our own data could and should be used for? Ultimately, Fry concludes, data has empowered all of us. We must have machines at our side if we're to find patterns in the modern-day data deluge. But, Fry believes, regardless of AI and machine learning, it will always take us to find the meaning in them.
过度煽情，但眼泪不值钱，歌不错，特别是机长姐姐那首。
哭傻了，the door’s always open in Newfoundland, welcome to the rock!
偶然翻阅截图相册，发现疫情前期已有小道消息说剧组要来华巡演，那时的期待如歌曲本身一般昂扬热切。孤岛壁垒被打破，大洋之上是平等众生共同奏响的波西米亚狂想曲，灯光汇聚每一角落，借由新时代流媒，远渡重洋的温暖故事，在这个似乎重蹈覆辙的严冬给人以鼓舞。
太棒了！
整片励志感人。虽是舞台表演。但故事讲述非常清楚。可以想象很多画面。
所以是这个音乐剧即将被改编成电影吗？音乐剧我不太会欣赏啦，期待下电影
大事件下的小人物的角度，很不错的musical
It's a celebration of humanity。
12个演员完成全场，在如此众多的人物量之下，堪称完美调度！
“tonight we honor what was lost，but we also commemorate what we found”
想到一句不太相关的话“无尽的远方，无数的人，都与我有关”。
特殊时期来看这种民间自发互助还是挺感动的。临结尾的创伤后遗以及十年后的生活还得继续，只愿不要歧视和平共处吧！
那演技让我觉得不止12个人
岛民们都好善良可爱。比天灾可怕的是人祸，愿世界和平。
真的太棒了 演员的表演和唱歌都无可挑剔 真想去看百老汇的现场
上海版：come from near 邻里关系的重建和冷漠疫情政策形成鲜明对比
爱，让世界更美好。Be together.
我以为911题材会很沉重，但很积极很快乐啊，有细节有思考，转换很流畅，女机长太帅了。人与人之间的善意好治愈。
我见识短，我老土，我第一次看百老汇歌剧，我就是被震撼到了，怎么着。
音乐剧+人性美总是治愈任何不开心的良药。女机长的嗓音出乎我意料，我以为会是沙哑烟嗓，结果是那么高亢清晰的声音。我想说me and sky我也可以听101遍。
