Set It To Music, Then

Data doesn’t lie. Well, it can if it’s manipulated, but that’s a topic for another post.

Data sounds one-dimensional, clinical, dry, unglamorous. But numbers got us to the moon and back. They can take us other places as well, like down the path to enlightenment, to saving our hides—if we pay attention to them and heed them, listen to the people gathering and crunching them.

Numbers tell all sorts of stories. They translate to things that are less boring and more relevant, if we make the effort to tune in. But many won’t make that effort, so the data will most likely continue to be ignored, collect dust. And we will eventually miss the boat.

Because we needed to be entertained. By data.

How freaking sad is that?
