A week of learning

in #payitforward5 years ago

Hello Folks!

Exactly a week ago, my good friend @trincowski and I had an agreement. And that is, I am going to jot down the things that I have learned for a week!

I have to admit that upon jotting down the new things that I have learned, I was so amazed on the amount of information I was able to know at such a short time.

Anyway, Here's the list:

Wednesday

My concept of a data storage looks like these:

Only to find out that there's such a thing as a 5 D optical storage

According to en.wikipedia.org,

5D optical data storage (sometimes known as Superman memory crystal[1]) is a nanostructured glass for permanently recording 5-D digital data[2] using femtosecond laser writing process.[3] The memory crystal is capable of storing up to 360 terabytes worth of data[4][5] for billions of years.[6][7][8][9] The concept was experimentally demonstrated in 2013.[10][11][12] As of 2018 the technology is in production use by the Arch Mission Foundation; its first and second discs were given to Elon Musk, one disc is in his personal library and the other placed aboard the Tesla Roadster in space.[13]

Before, I thought DNA was only used to identify diseases and any biological related problems. I was wrong.

There is such a thing as DNA storage, folks!

Thursday

I have the unfortunate experience of learning about a person who uploaded child pornography on a block chain.

And spent the day reconciling the fact that if I get to make a blockchain transaction, I am doing this out of financial purposes and out of no other sinister reasons.

Friday

I discovered a historical TV series Medici- Masters of Florence and, I did not do anything but watch for the rest of the day!

Hey, I am into historical movies especially historically accurate ones!

Saturday

I get to know the finer points on STEEMIT WITNESSES .

And I decided to write a post about them in case someone out there is just as ignorant as me.

Sunday

As a child, I have always been using pencil erasers and ink erasers of various shapes and sizes

But it was at that moment only that I have learned that there is such a thing as a MOLDABLE ERASER!

To make things worst, they are even scented!

How was I not able to learn about this when I almost always spend my spare time in office supply stores or bookstores???

MONDAY

While browsing in our community, I get to learn about light paintings.

As a result, I got obsessed with it!

I get to engage more in our community and I have come to know that there is such a thing as a Futurist

Or as our good friends in en.wikipedia defines the word:

Futurists or futurologists are scientists and social scientists whose specialty is futurology or the attempt to systematically explore predictions and possibilities about the future and how they can emerge from the present, whether that of human society in particular or of life on Earth in general.

Tuesday

I posted a story on my "unusual" hobby of watching animated movies and cartoons.

And discovered to my surprise that I am not alone and, we might even start a new Discord Channel/ group!

Animated movie lovers? Cartoon watchers? Overaged animated movie lovers?

I'll leave that one out for you folks!

I've learned that my good friend @chbartist is advocating for a cause.

And, I was completely ignorant about this despite the fact that I follow him and, I am almost always on line!

Here's the link folks. I re steemed and upvoted it already.

Wednesday

I get to learn that it's finally time to write my week long learning experience and, felt resentful that I was not given more time to write my post on Steemit delegators.

There you go folks! A week long of learning! How did you guys spend your week? What have you learned? Please let me know in the comment section. Do not hesitate to share them with me- I am always interested to know of new things!

I will gladly participate in the contest @wakeupkitty. Let me check your link for the mechanics- in case mine does not cut through being a post and all.

Actually, I had been hearing a lot of your contest before. Unfortunately then, nothing of importance really happened that I can state as a "learning" experience so I left it at that.

Excellent entry for the contest. I need to prepare mine, as well.

take your time. hehehehe

This is brilliant. I'm going to keep a reminder of things I learn.

Try it @osint! It is quite enjoyable and very educational. hehehehe

Wow! What an awesome idea! Thank you so much for sharing these things. I love that i am not alone in the historically correct movies and cartoons. Also loved your witness post. Helped me out a lot.

Good luck on your server. Let us know and send us an invite.

Thank you very much! I am watching the season 2- Medici- Lorenzo the Magnificent

this is like creating a weekly journey @nurseanne84, I respect you for making time to do all those things and even create a post about it. hahaha.. I'm busy with playing and have fun with the monsters and my husband, so.. I just catch up with several daily duty like cooking or observing my cats and flowers.

Actually @cicisaja, it started between me and @trincowski. I saw his posts listing all the things he had learned in a week and I was so amazed and I said, why don't I do the same. Then we struck a deal. And here is the result. hahahaha

That's really cool.. at least you have something to post every week beside your daily posts😉

Yeah. I agree with you. Though I still "consider" this as a part of my daily post because, I made it into a "story like" format. Anyway, I hope I am not spamming and annoying anyone for posting daily. hehehehehe

Daily posting is the right thing to do to grow faster @nurseanne84 😉 as long as it is not just photo without words😂😂

In real life, I can be very talkative.So perhaps even if there's like a word limit or something,I will find a way to say more than what is necessary.Same goes in steemit!😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

Don't worry 😉 you are not alone 😂😂 we're just be ourselves here too. So.. enjoy your chatty character on steemit😊

Hi there!

Do you know that my post from last week was an entry for the initiative LEARN & EARN, hosted by @matkodurko ?

He's the one who came up with this idea, not me. 😉

I am so sorry for that. Anyway, it was an interesting post.😊

Top idea to keep learning something everyday! Well, it is important to also keep young and your mind alive!

You are right @bengy and the more I engage in our community, the more I learn something new from different people. These things- aside from the child pornography and the Medici show, I have learned all in our community. Imagine the things one can learn simply by browsing over the different discord groups and posts.

Good morning @nurseanne84

Your concept of data storage does look quite outdated :) Most people would show their iphones and would say: my data is in the cloud :)

It really seem to me that you had great learning experience. I must admit that I've never heard about 5D optical storage. I wonder if this technology will experience mass adoption.

I have the unfortunate experience of learning about a person who uploaded child pornography on a block chain.

This is another big issue. I wonder what can be done with people like this guy who uploaded such a awful content :/

ps.
I'm not so sure if you even celebrate Valentine's Day, but in case if you do I just wanted to wish you to have good time tonight.

Either with someone close to your heart or perhaps simply with some friends. Or simply alone watching some movie and having an icecreams :)

Yours
Piotr

Dear @crypto.piotr,

It seems like I will be condemned into staying at home. This is a huge celebration in my country and, everywhere, is booked a few weeks prior to the occasion!

Anyway, I hope you enjoy the day with the person you love most and, Happy Valentine's Day!

Kind regards

Anne

A box of chocolate is great too! It is a great celebration? It always was? Its in your culture?

Posted using Partiko Android

Anything chocolate based actually is great! I don't know how this celebration started in my culture but I tell you this: if I am a business woman, I would have worked for a day and still be able to support me for the whole year. that's how important valentine's day is here.

Amazing what people spend. Perhaps you should be a business woman for 1 day a week.
