I never listened to any podcasts and I don't believe I ever will. I heard the term before and had an idea what podcasts are. Obviously the presentations showed me some new things, but I still don't think I will look into the matter. I think mainly because I prefer to read about news and new things. I'm not a person that follows information daily, I'm more the kind of person that once in a while reads about all the things that happened since the last time I checked. Also I have long discussion nearly every evening with my parents, who are always well informed about the current events, to they are some sort of podcast for me :P. I do have a thing I am very passionate about, but I already made 3 presentations about that during this course so I think It's enough!

I haven't ever listen podcasts and there is no reason behind it. It is hard for me to listen something different than music and do something like working or learning, so I don't have many occasions to listen something like podcasts. I'm passionate about many things, about some of them I made presentations (decoupage, coca-cola). In most cases for me learning is having fun, because I've choosen college which are interesting to me.

I have listened some podcasts, most of them was about paranormal stuff which I was interested in some time ago. Right now, I don't really listen to them anymore and I think I would rather listen to recording.

I tried watching some podcasts a few years ago but not much came out of it. I watched a series about starting a consulting business which was nice because it dealt with more general problems. Problems like how to find quality customers. I couldn’t focus on anything else while listening though and other materials were the same. It wasn’t something I had to do so I eventually stopped.

Do you listen to podcasts? If you do - what are your favorite ones? If you don’t - is there a specific reason?
I never tried and I never will. Why? There is no reason. I am just not interested in podcasts. I heard about it some time ago but there is nothing special and interesting for me.

Are there any Internet shows you listen to / watch regularly that are not podcasts? Which ones? How are they distributed?
I watch TV sometimes and some TV series but not Internet ones. I don't really know any Internet show to listen...

I come out in this post as a hardcore podcasts junkie / podcast nerd. I don’t think I ever did talk about this to the extent before. Do you have things in your live that you are as passionate about? Movies? TV shows? Books? Music bands? Video games?
Answer is simple and I must extend this sentence to meet the requirements of 4 lines so the answer is: DOTA!! :D

Week 4 [04.11-10.11.19] Dark matter

By
If you don't live in a big city in Poland, you can observe many stars at night. Did you ever wonder how would look our sky in the next millions of years if we would count only on existing proven astrophysical theories and calculations? It would be absolutely empty. All  celestial bodies  in the galaxy are rotating around the biggest black hole in the middle of galaxy (in Milky Way this black hole is 6.4  billion times heavier than our sun)  with such speed that the gravity generated by galaxy’s observable matter could not possibly hold them together. This leads us to  conviction   that something we cannot see is at work and is giving galaxies extra mass, generating the extra gravity that galaxies need to stay intact. Something, that will ensure us that our sky will remain the same as it was a million years ago. The official name of this strange and unknown matter is the “dark matter”. Unlike normal matter, dark matter does not interact with the electroma...

Week 3 [ 21-27.10.19] Memory Capacity of the Human Brain

By
What Is the Memory Capacity of the Human Brain? In the age of information technology, we are used to the fact that any information should occupy a certain amount of memory in storage. And since memories are information, then sooner or later they must fill the amount of memory in a person’s head. But the human brain is not a hard drive where you can write information in free blocks. Source: https://revth.files.wordpress.com/2018/05/battle-for-the-mind.jpg Neurons communication The process of "recording" information in the brain occurs through the emergence of connections between neurons and the creation of neural networks. Each time, recalling a past event, we activate the neural connections associated with it. We can say that having a finite number of neurons (according to researches it is about 100 billion cell nuclei) a finite number of connections can be created inside the brain. This, in turn, might me...
