Data & Statistics…
For this weeks reading I took a look at the 2008 and 2010 Feltron Reports. The information was difficult to understand to say the least. I had heard of these prior to reading them as the study has been published in many places. They were definitely not what I expected. I thought it would just be statistics of everything that Nicholas Felton had done for that year; however, its actually a complex set up of data over a course of time. It was very interesting as I went through page by page because I had never seen someone do a study like this. It seems to be very tedious. I found the 2008 Feltron report a lot easier to understand than the 2010 report because the information was more simply displayed. The 2010 Feltron report was a lot different than that of the 2008 because it offered statistics of a catalog over a course of a large number of years. This made the 2010 report a lot less interesting to me.
I then went to explore more reports. I definitely prefer the reports that record his personal activities for the year because that seems like something I’d like to do sometime just to see how it turns out. I believe that the work put into tracking your activities may be a lot, but to produce data like this is just amazing. I idolize Nicholas Felton for his hard work. There’s just so many variables that can be studied in regards to activities. In all, the Feltron reports were very interesting and I will continue checking through this site to see what else I can learn.
