some sort of news or article saying that
we all live in digital era today but how
many of you really understand what
digital era means so what makes this era
a digital era so if you find in the
internet if you google just reverse the
meaning of it there will be many many
definitions you can see but there’s two
things you’re gonna see across all the
definitions first is the amount of data
we are being accessible to in today’s
world
secondly is the speed of us creating
data on the databases so how much data
do we have in today’s world let me give
you a perspective so based on data
scientists research in 2015 we have 4.4
zettabytes of data in the internet that
is four point four trillion bytes of
data so if we were to store all this
data into a 3.5 inch hard disk and we
stack them up in front of you how tall
would it be imagine this is the earth we
stack them up it would be this tall but
how tall is it you will be able to reach
the moon to be exact you will exit
distant from the earth to the moon so
how far the moon from the earth 384,000
kilometers that’s how far it is and data
scientist further project that by 2020
we’re going to have 10 stacks of this
data in front of us that’s the amount of
data we are processing or we are being
accessed to in today’s world so what an
ideal world is then if everything is
just a click but in a way you can Google
everything what a perfect world none of
us none of our ancestor have they have
this privilege but as the old wise man
always says everything comes with a cost
so what are the cost we are paying today
based on some of the medical statistic
depression is already at all-time high
in this era and the same group of people
hypothesize that
one of the main reasons for this
depression is the amount of data we’re
being exposed to all we’re being
expected to process on databases so let
me give your example some of you might
have encountered situation whereby
you’re being expected to know something
just because you have access to
information your teacher will say learn
yourself is on the internet but for
those who are smart who are born with an
analytical mind who can digest data info
effectively in the internet you’ll be
fine you are not you are not those who
suffer from the depressions those who
suffer from depressions are those who
are not born with the analytical mind
they have trouble processing large
amount data in the internet so welcome
to the beginning of digital errors today
information has changed how business
work how our society works or even how
human interact with each other and if we
are still processing data like we used
to centuries ago it just doesn’t make
sense so a bit on my background I came
from a small town called alone in tun
perak and I finished my level in the in
KL I I get quickly good results in fact
for one of my subject I’m top 1% of the
world but I got bored with numbers I
move on to a long degree in UK and after
finish my degree in UK University of
Liverpool I got bored with the law
industry and I move on to finance an
accounting so nowadays I do more or less
about tolerance ends so why am I telling
you all this
the reason I’m telling you all this is
not to feel my ego not to tell you that
I can do this I can do that Wow
I’m a Superman the reason I’m telling
you all this is I’m from a small town I
can do it so do you so why do I think
this topic is important navigating in Cu
information is important because that’s
the power of knowledge that’s the root
of power knowledge and for us especially
as a venture capital
I’m a venture capitalist knowledge
breathed in sight and with insights we
can generate values and in my view or in
the whole society we award value with
money that’s how the world works so let
me let me give you an example imagine
that these two similar person the only
difference between them is one of them
knows about the existence of free juice
machine ok I give them the same amount
of resources both of them one Apple I
want them to sell and maximum profit so
one of them go to the market sell it for
one ringgit
because that more or less the market
price of an apple the other one who know
the existence of fruit juice machine he
make fruit juice apple juice out of the
airpo I give in to him and he’s held for
three Winky because that’s the market
price you can see now with more
knowledge you can generate more value
out from the same resources that’s the
power of knowledge so I’ve summarized
the process of digesting data in the too
simple process before you digest
information the first step is you must
have the correct data so we will talk
about how we can collect the data
secondly then we talk about how to
digest data so first how do we collect
data so I would like to ask everyone of
you what do you think is the easiest way
to find for the data in today’s world
sorry wiki google yeah for myself in my
own opinion I think Google is one of the
greatest tool in human history to find
for information without Google there
would be not the world we know about
today but on a side note Google is a
tool to find for information Google
itself is not the source of information
so but how many of you really understand
how to use Google because if you want to
use Google to its full capacity
you need to understand how it works at
it works by searching for keywords so if
you can use Google effectively dissect
all question into keywords then you
unleash the full potential of Google so
let me show you an example I’ve seen
that in some of my to my students
because I give tutor sometimes so these
are typical topic you wanna see during
your diploma or your degree so based on
research a single family has a
tremendous impact on the emotional
development of the children please
explain why so mostly this question is
talking about single family impact so
let’s say you copy the whole question
you paste it in Google this is a real
experiment I mean okay if you take the
look at a such result pay attention on
two details first it’s the amount of
such result you get in this case is 1.5
million okay the second thing you will
see it the arkad article produce in a
search result is cited by i would say
less people compared to the others which
you will see in the next example and if
in this case it’s eight people and ten
people so we move on in the next example
our illustrate if we can use just like
bit of human intelligence dissect the
question in two key words what’s the
difference so let’s say I exercise some
form of human intelligence I dissect the
question because that’s the whole point
of question single family impact on
children so what’s the such reason but
again if you remember the previous slide
compare back with this one first
we got significantly more such results
it’s 55 point 1 million such reason in
this case the second one you can see the
research paper being produced in the
search results has significantly more
sightings compared to the earlier one
that means in general you can conclude
that the the paper being found by Google
in this case is more of high quality
because more people refer to that now
there’s this third feature which you
don’t see in the earlier slide which is
this the summary section Google can
understand your question so well that it
can summarize the question or summarize
the such result for you and
a summary on that so that’s the power of
Google if you know how to use it well
now assuming you all have the right data
on your hand but how to digest it fast
that’s the key point of this talk so
first before we start we must first take
a tool understanding how human brain
works now we all know that human brain
buta of neurons so assuming we have
thousands of neuron we will have words
then you can unleash the full potential
of Google so let me show you an example
I’ve seen that in some of my to my
students because I give tutor sometimes
so this is a typical topic you’re gonna
see during your diploma or your degree
so based on research a single family has
a tremendous impact on the emotional
development of the children please
explain why so mostly this question is
talking about single family impact so
let’s say you copy the whole question
you paste it in Google this is a real
experiment I mean okay if you take the
look at a such result pay attention on
to details first is the amount of such
result you get in this case is 1.5
million okay the second thing you will
see it the arket article produce in such
result is cited by I would say less
people compared to the others which you
will see in the next example and if in
this case it’s eight people and ten
people so we move on in the next example
I’ll illustrate if we can use just like
bit of human intelligence dissect the
question in two key words what’s the
difference so let’s say I exercise some
form of human intelligence I dissect the
question because that’s the whole point
of question single family impact on
children so what’s the SIS reason but
again if you remember the previous slide
compare back with this one first
we got significantly more such results
it’s 55 point 1 million such reason in
this case the second one you can see the
research paper
producing such results has significantly
more sightings compared to the earlier
one that means in general you can
conclude that the the paper being found
by Google in this case is more of high
quality because more people refer to
that
now that’s this third feature which you
don’t see in the earlier slide which is
this the summary section Google can
understand your questions so well that
it can summarize the question or
summarize the such result for you and
create a summary on that so that’s the
power of Google if you know how to do
how to do to us use it well so now
assuming you all have the right data on
your hand but how to digest it fast
that’s the key point of this talk so
first before we start we must first take
a tool understanding how human brain
works now we all know that human brain
buta of neurons so assuming we have
thousands of neuron we will have neuron
networks now we have thousand of neural
networks in a simplistic way we will
have the brain that is how our human
brain construct off now if we understand
the basic of how human brain is being
built now we can use the same knowledge
and and understand how can we tailor our
learning behavior so that we can learn
faster based on data we have let me
illustrate to you so let me ask you a
question think about car what comes to
your brain probably these are the things
you come into your brain you got car
exterior your engine your a
steering your wheels but do you know how
all this they dive in story in your
brain this is central topic a car now in
a very simplistic way again this is how
your brain store the data this construct
and relate the data that’s seemingly
unstructured back to the central topic
this is how your brain store the data
now by understanding this topic we can
apply this to our learning process so
that we can learn faster and more
so how about a completely new topic
because the example I show you it’s
something you have known it’s easy for
you but how about the new topic the
first thing if you encounter new topic
is once you have all the data from
Google read through them don’t worry
about the details yet because you’re not
supposed to do that yet you just created
it what you’re trying to do is to
understand the framework of the topic
you’re searching on what you try to get
is this framework you can see you don’t
get all the details right yet but you
know what is the central topic and what
are the subtopic then if you can process
on the subtopic directly then you move
on to details that’s how to process data
fast now let me illustrate you a second
example imagine you’re solving a puzzle
what’s the first thing you do you don’t
jump into solving the puzzle right away
you take a look at the cover of the box
what are you trying to piece together
this is what I’m trying to say about
understanding the big picture
understanding the framework first so
imagine this topic is too big all right
it’s hard for you to chew on or digest
on break them down in this way
identify the subtopic that you can
graphs on you can start from the hand or
you can start from the fish you can
start with the body the tail or the
theme or the hate move forward one by
now enough retiree let’s put it into
practice I’ll give you a scenario try to
use the same method and see how fast you
can solve the following problems now
I’ll give you a scenario with five clues
and I’ll ask you a question the first
one is a is a friend of B B is the
brother of C see the hospital D B is a
sister of E Phi F is a father of C okay
now the main question I’ll give you ten
second once I show you the question
question those who have the answer first
alright times up that’s ten-second it’s
okay you don’t get it in the first place
but we’ll move forward and try to
dissect the question and show you the
top process of how to use how to dissect
the information effectively now what’s
the question
early on what is the relationship of F
and B so if you remember all the clues
earlier only three of them are relevant
two of them are not related to this
situation right so these three
information is related to us the
question so among these three what is
the common link between F and B can I
see a show of hands who don’t answer C
yes correct
C is a common link between them this is
why from this information you can
conclude that F is the father of B now
what I’m trying to show here is maybe
some of you are not born with analytical
mind but if you practice this method if
you learn to see data as link that they
are related to each other you can start
to learn faster because everything you
learn link back to the main topic it’s
no longer memorizing everything
singularly and doesn’t make sense
or you just rely on teacher to show you
the link you can start linking on
yourself so this is why to a certain
extent very smart students appear not to
taking notes in the class they just
cross their hand like that listen to
teachers but what they are trying to do
is all inside their mind they try to
form a framework on the topic teacher
teaching about they don’t worry about
clarity because that can be done on
self-study how many of you get reference
book and you in your home for the same
topic in school for myself or all my
friends we all have a reference book
that can be done at home what they are
trying to do is get a big framework of
the topic okay so if you have this
friend around you the smart one you feel
like as though you want to use their
brain you feel like it it’s good if you
have the are brain right but they to put
in hard work to train your mind and like
every muscle in your body
the
or you use your brain the more effective
it will be so hopefully after today your
journey of learning new information on
new data is just like playing games
playing puzzles or relate back to the
things you know the more mini puzzle you
solve the more knowledge you gain it
will be easier for you to soft a bigger
problem this world and what I’m trying
to hope it if you’re young please build
up your knowledge base so that in future
you can solve a bigger problem in this
world and you will start to enjoy the
process of learning like a kid like you
used to be you like to play with new
things like to explore that’s how it is
you are no longer overwhelmed by the by
the mess by the large amount of data in
front of you you because you already
know how to dissect them down now I hope
after today or near future learning can
be a great part of your life because you
can start enjoy the learning process
again and to end this speech I would
like to quote from a great philosopher
from India Jiddu Krishnamurti now he
says there’s no end to education it is
not that you read a book you pass an
examination or you finish your education
from the whole of life from the moment
you leave to the moment you die it’s a
learning process thank you
[Applause] [Music]
