Laurie Santos looks for the roots of human irrationality by watching the way our primate relatives make decisions. A clever series of experiments in “monkeynomics” shows that some of the silly choices we make, monkeys make too.

No, it is a plane flying on Google! Well not quite, just felt like doing that one. So it is not quite there Virgin Style. But Google acquired ITA software. A site that feeds many traveling sites with live fares, as well. Google promises that they will not hamper any of ITA’s existing partners, such as Bing Travel.

Interesting at any rate that Google is pushing into yet another market, and specifically taking over a collaborator of their competition. Also, think of it like this. The travel industry is literally THE consumer industry where online buying has completely overtaken any other purchasing behavior. Being the biggest player on the web, you want to have a serious hand in one of it’s most sold produce.

Where would humanity be today if there would have been someone saying “fire belongs tome, I saw it first! Put yours out right now!”
Where would a baby be if the parent would say, do not imitate my speech, it is mine.

This movie (well part 1 and 2 really) has been around for a while. I watched it again today, and it is time to share it again. I love how the introduction starts out how the printing press was being controlled for so many years by “gatekeepers”, that eventually where defeated.

THIS IS THE FUTURE AND IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH YOUR BANK BALANCE.

Steal this film

Part 1
