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.
真的好尴尬好笑，但爱情之处又不缺乏严肃的部分！
really surreal and silly but kinda feel we need it
标准Netflix圣诞电影，虽然老套，但是我喜欢。
Love doesn't have to be perfect, it has to be honest.
道理我都懂，虽然nina这几年老的有些快，虽然男主人是非常好，但是最后nina亲上去的时候，我真的还是没忍住愤怒，两星不能再多了。
Jingyang made it, finally!
3.5啦 虽然是cliche，却也轻轻松松的圣诞romcom
excuse me？这都什么刻版印象大合集？有内涵的亚洲人一定是矮宅男？宅男还会攀岩，还比人家天天攀的厉害？喜欢唱跳的人就一定是时刻爱抢风头，贬低别人的人？我真的？？还给我提他妈的鼠尾辫？辱谁呢？？导演编剧脑子被冻冰箱了吗？？？
逻辑没搞懂 明明是男主先骗了女主 结果最后女主反思认错？
对圣诞合家欢就不要这么苛刻了，tinder版Love Actually，单身狗也想有这么奇妙的爱情（擦泪）
真的呆头，这女的呆里呆气的。但是有迈克陈，大帅哥，实在是帅的不得了！而且刚看完他在glee里面挂圣诞树，就看到在这个电影里面挂圣诞树，浪漫的不得了，让人小流泪
现代app恋情的当头棒喝。不过最后有点甜。啊我真是该死的恋爱脑。
氛围感电影。挺圣诞的但是剧情不能细想，奔现发现网恋对象照骗就应该跑了
3.5 歐陽萬成好可愛 喜歡最後《真愛至上》的部分。
真的是电影，太狗血了。但中年妇女居然有点吃这套…
虽然故事一般 ，但道理还是一样得，幸福得生活不要欺骗她
不是烂而是是俗，这样的故事来来回回看了千万遍了，白人换亚裔换黑人换来换去故事永远是那个故事，一点新鲜东西都没有，一点都没有，只有尴尬得想把头埋进雪堆里的冲动。
圣诞节全家欢爆米花电影(*๓´╰╯`๓)♡ 如sex and city 自我吐槽式开头， 套路的爱情故事。
挺轻松的圣诞喜剧片 最后还是有点点尴尬 为什么看人家公众场合尴尬我也会这么尴尬？？？男生越看越像某个前男友 挺可爱
hahaha，美女网恋白人帅哥，结果屏幕后的是亚裔极客。一个圣诞节租女友的故事，夹杂假戏真做，兄弟争宠等等等等~男主风趣机智让我想到了郭麒麟哈哈哈。
