Very true. Hypatia also was an early geek (by our modern definition of the word). She was by no means the first mathematician, but she was an early one. I think she was tortured and killed by Xtians.
99.9% of women are not into Science/Tech. It's just the truth. Yes there
are some geeky women, I know some personally, but it's very true that the
vast majority aren't.
I totally agree with you, there's no place for these ignorant sexist
comments in this community.
I hope he is just a troll.
In my personal experience 3 of the biggest geeks in my life are girls, they
play video games (one of them is even working in the video games industry
as a designer). They all love comics, star wars, anime..
When I was studying engineering there was only one girl in our class (she
was good) and she was bullied by some of the other male students till the
point she left.
Engineering school... I was in an engineering high school, and it was the first time in my life that life made sense... that you could sift out principles and rules out of the world with mathematics, and apply it for game programming (just my passion). It was a great time.I'm sad and angered to hear someone get not only their education ruined, but their life, pretty much, ruined.This is why school should be more loose, where you aren't forced to go to class. And have group-projects and study-groups most of the time. Then teachers have time to plan classes better, and also stimulates some individual thought in teachers, so they aren't just forced to soullessly go along with a course plan.Classes will thus be more engaging, and people won't have time to harrass others, or even think about it.Re-envisioning school would passively solve such problems, is what I think...
I know loads of girls that were closet geeks because they were given a
hard time . Now they are out in the open and many of us are considered
fake geeks it is so hard to believe that we can be geeks too.
BTW - I was few days ago in one of the biggest, geekiest comic book stores
in Mexico City - great place btw. Guess what - place was full of girls both
buying and selling. Whats more - they were very far from geek
ugly-fat-with-glasses stereotype too. VERY, VERY far. And I was there with
my wife that is also (surprise!) a girl/woman haha :D. Loads of girl geeks
around!
Gee. So as long as they are hot it's o.k. Your classification of some geek females as ugly and fat with glasses is misogynistic. It's o.k for geek guys to be this way so why not females. Oh that's right. No matter what females must be hot. According to sexist freaks like you.

Hey Dan! Like that you are back doing what you obviously love in a way you
love. Keep it up. I am currently taking classes in computer programming as
a now 40 year old. I am not top of my class but am schooling a lot of my
classmates in this. I grew up with an Atari 2600 and an Apple 2e in the
house. Just because these "kids" grew up with modern devices doesn't mean
they understand them better. Technology is a tool that needs to understood.
Otherwise you have people using CD trays as cup holders.
Ahhh but you are 22(Ish?) I am Gen X'er and I I am old enough to be your father. A lot of Millennials have gen X parents who grew up with "some" technology. Had a discussion with some friends about how Millenials have taken Gen X's ideology/innovations. (Net Neutrality/Internet based global conversation/Free flow of information) and taken our theories into practice. Curious about your thoughts. Plan on vlogging on it soon.
+Toby Sterling Generalizations are inevitable when talking about something as broad as entire generations - of course there are exceptions... and of course you are one of them, Toby. I've seen you in the comments of my videos for years now! Context alone says that you make a point of keeping up with tech.You're also not quite the generation I'm referring to - I'm basically talking about the dynamic between boomers and their millennial kids (again, generalizations abound). 1975 (74?) was a full decade after the baby boom ended.Glad you dig the new stuff. Hope you'll keep chiming in :D
From the fourth grade until the end of highschool the kids who had learning
disabilities in my school district were given laptops to aid in their
learning process. I was one of those kids. Since most of these kids had
poor penmanship, it made the teachers job easier as their sentences were
now legible. As for me, I found that having a laptop peeked my interest in
graphic design. Which is now my primary source of income.
Speaking of graphic design, could I submit an end title card graphic for
you to use? Completely free, as long as you put a link in the video
description for every video it's used in.
+BigTysHouseOfTech That your comment ends suddenly and without punctuation has me worried. You didn't, like,Thanks for sharing - you've definitely put your visual knowledge to good use. I've always been impressed by your video editing, and dig your avant-garde/absurdist style.I'm actually rolling out new branding very soon, likely with the release of my next video. I super appreciate the offer, but already have this licked I think. Perhaps instead you might spend the time you would have used on the endcard template making a viiiiiddddeeeeooooo reeeeeesponsssssse? To my next upload? Just a thought. No worries if you don't, we still cool.
Heh, actually I think she was trying to figure out the best way around the big-ass puddle right behind my tripod. Lots of snow was melting lots of fast - puddle doubled in size as I was filming.
+Dan Brown Reason lap tops at our school failed- teachers where under trained in the use of them- easy to play flash games- the equipment was substandard (always people who had a broken laptops waiting on repairs)- if you turned your lap top and opened up word it could take like 10mins so people would hold the class up saying there laptops where not on yet and so on
+Dan Brown it was a little of both? Most of the time teachers had specific activities and if they didn't it was assumed that we were taking notes or downloading/following along with the powerpoints they had posted. I would say that during both of these times people were always screwing around or at least on skype chat
+Corinne Florentino I'm curious - did it seem like each class had a specific plan as to how the laptops would be integrated into the curriculum, or was it more of a "throw technology at them and see what happens" situation? My high school never had anything comparable so I'm admittedly grasping at straws a bit.
I think the first thing kids need to learn about the internet is that there
are people on the other side of the data exchange and they deserve to be
treated with the same respect these kids expect to be treated. It seems so
easy for trolls to post annoying and even hurtful stuff without a single
care to how people reading their posts will react. Just like it's not okay
(and never was) to call some random phone number and insult the person who
answers the call, the same level of respect should be expected when we deal
with people over the internet.
+Roberto Cordero I completely agree. This is where video can play a huge role (as bandwidth continues to increase and sharing video becomes more and more tenable). It's much harder to be a bully when you're dealing with a real (ish) person - not just text and a username. The lesson that "people on the other side of the data exchange" is much more intuitive when the data exchange is also a face-to-face exchange.Hope you're doing well Roberto! Nice to see you chiming in!
Hi +Dan Brown ,
I think you've been a little too taken in by the message that technology is
a negative influence on children. Of course, often technology does
negatively affect children, but this is up to us! With places like Khan
Academy, numerous MOOCs & multi-national gigantic social networks - there
are more opportunities for children to expand their knowledge of ideas and
people faster. We simply need to engender a passion for using technology
for hugely positive means in children. At least that's IMHO.
(I'd like to upload a video response but I'm not really very good at that
kind of thing - maybe next time...)
+Ben Lewis Nooooo! Make a video! That's the whole point - push yourself past where you think you're comfortable. You'll never be "good at that kind of thing" if you don't try!The education web (Khan Academy et al.) is brilliant, but it's still largely one-way media. Creator makes, audience consumes, repeat. The revolution will come in earnest from participatory media - using social video to synthesize with one's peers what is taught by thought leaders.

AMEN to that statement!!! Especially when in my research I found that about
2-3% of the population "ARE" affected by the wireless industries. Wireless
industries of WiFi, Cell Phones, Cell Towers, Smart Meters, RFID chips,
etc... 2-3% of the US population equals basically New York City with a
population over eight million. Eight million people are affected by
wireless radiation and they may or may not even know it and even more are
being harmed and being adding to this statistic. It is so sad that the
truth about all this was discovered as far back as World War II and current
4G population care more about how many jewels they can make in a row then
digging into the truth, finding the truth to make their kids, grand kids
and descendants’ lives better and brighter. They stand up and fight for
justice when a lion is killed but they cannot see that they are killing the
DNA in their own children's children. Anyway, KEEP FIGHTING to get the
TRUTH OUT, hopefully this summer I will have a channel up and going with my
findings. KafkaWinstonWorld, I will let you know when I do get my channel
up and running, and so glad KafkaWinstonWorld is back online, GIVE OUT A
SHOUT, HOORAY!!!
+thinkofit I agree with you, I feel that number needs to be higher than that 2-3%. However it seems to be a consensus in the thousands of pages of research I have done, that percentage seems to stand without much fuss. I use that analogy to bring light to those who fail to even do the research on the dangers of wireless radiation. Most people know how big New York City is therefore makes my life a little easier getting the public in my area feets wet with this. However, your right, how can we be certain, I certainly know that everyone and everything is affected by it. The medical fields fail by not acknowledging this and they are not properly trained to acknowledge this. Let alone even help people with modern time ailments for wireless radiation needs to be and should always be in the diagnosis of all their patients. Illnesses today are being further altered by the radiation presented by these modern day wireless gadgets. Just like when they ask you if you smoke when you visit them on their little questionnaire, there needs to be questions like what kind of wireless devices are present at your home and also your work location. For me personally, we need to get rid of all wireless technology, we were better off before the 3G, 4G, or even now the beginning of the 5G networks.
+Eagleeye7530 2-3% is just those deemed "hypersensitive" but everyone is affected. That rate of hypersensitives is probably a most conservative estimate... how can they get the estimate if it is not even acknowledged by the medical field or, as you say, people suffering effects themselves cannot even connect it to the radiation, as they are kept ignorant? So the percent of people affected is probably so much greater than we can measure at the time being. RH-negative population alone adds 15%... as by nature they are more sensitive to EMF.
I first learned of the dangers of these frequencies just last Sept.
watching Barrie Trower, so glad you are keeping this on the forefront.
Thanks for making this video. Liked and Shared on Facebook.
+Dawn of Light Thank you for all your comments, and your support, and your sharing of information. I really do appreciate it. I'm sorry I have not been able to respond to many comments lately, but, please know they mean a lot to me. much love to you ...
I've been circulating this info for years...ever since I found out the
president of Ericsson didn't allow his children to use cell phones (thank
you Rauni Kilde MD, who was murdered). Instead, I'm called a nut and a
troglodyte because I refuse to have a cell phone or WIFI. These people do
not care even though many are exhibiting symptoms of electromagnetic
poisoning. They just go to the doc who uses big pharma to mask the
symptoms. It is absolutely hideous. One hundred years from now they'll be
saying how stupid we were....if there is anyone left by then.
Sadly a lot of teenagers don't want to know anything about the dangers of
these devices. Glad you are back Carol, must have been a shock to you,
especially seeing how you've recently made another move. Can you say
exhausted? Bet you can. I hope the change you've made will bring you some
much needed peace. Be well. Sincerely, Alyssa
Oh, just remembered... I'm sure you know of Katherine Albrecht, she is a
lovely woman who wrote the book 'Spy Chips' 10 years ago, she is very
against RFID chips... I just listened to an interview with her from January
2016, anytime I can find her be it an interview or lecture I watch. She has
developed two tumors behind her ears. The bigger tumor is on the right
where she usually talks on her cell, the second on the left is smaller
because as she says, 'you know how you have to change ears while in the
middle of a conversation... well....' So yes, there is a very real danger
and some very sad and scary consequences of this technology.
I just looked her up, thank you for the information.
