My Aha moment from chapter 2 is remembering the difference between a correlation and causation. Statistics showing correlations can be pretty damning and it was easy to forget that just because the numbers are there, doesn’t mean there was a direct affect.
In chapter 6 my Aha moment was when we learned about the secret society known as the movie rating system. It amazes me how much authority we’ve given to a completely anonymous and unnamed group of people. I doubt we’d allow that to happen in any other facet of life, so why do we allow it with the content of our film industry?
In chapter 10 we learned about the internet. I figured I knew everything there was to know about the interwebs, but I never even realized the infrastructure for it was laid long before I ever imagined. With that said, it took a long time to implement and get it where it is today. We’ve come a long way.
