Most can&#8217;t find Delaware on a map, correctly spell the word\u00a0<i>occurrence<\/i>, or name the largest ocean on the planet. But how important is it to fill our heads with facts? A few keystrokes can summon almost any information in seconds. Why should we bother learning facts at all?<\/p>\n<p>Best-selling author William Poundstone confronts that timely question in\u00a0<i>Head in the Cloud<\/i>. He shows that many areas of knowledge correlate with the quality of our lives &#8211; wealth, health, and happiness &#8211; and even with politics and behavior. Combining Big Data survey techniques with eye-opening anecdotes, Poundstone examines what Americans know (and don&#8217;t know) on topics ranging from quantum physics to pop culture.<\/p>\n<p><i>Head in the Cloud<\/i>\u00a0asks why we&#8217;re okay with spelling errors on menus but not on r\u00e9sum\u00e9s; why Fox News viewers don&#8217;t know which party controls Congress; why people who know trivia make more money than those who don&#8217;t; and how individuals can navigate clickbait and media spin to stay informed about what really matters.<\/p>\n<p>Hilarious, humbling, and wildly entertaining,\u00a0<i>Head in the Cloud<\/i>\u00a0is a must-listen for anyone who doesn&#8217;t know everything.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Head in the Cloud<\/strong><br \/>\nWhy Knowing Things Still Matters When Facts Are So Easy to Look Up<br \/>\nBy: William Poundstone<br \/>\nNarrated by: Chris Sorensen<br \/>\nLength: 8 hrs and 45 mins<br \/>\nRelease date: 07-19-16<br \/>\nLanguage: English<br \/>\nFormat and Bitrate: M4B@62 kbps<br \/>\nSize: 239.71 MB<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/rapidgator.net\/file\/d8df0b60c77afa6192d9ad9aa5366a9a\/Head_in_the_Cloud\ua789_Why_Knowing_Things_Still_Matters_When_Facts_Are_So_Easy_to_Look_Up_[B01HS6YJ4G].m4b.html\"><strong>Download from RAPIDGATOR<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/transfer.it\/t\/jPLoA3xjDJxB\"><strong>Download from TRANSFER.it<\/strong><\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The real-world value of knowledge in the mobile-device age.
