Best of Today: Bacteria

While watching Mr. Wilson's fasinating presentation about the biological aspects of the Earth, I was amused to learn the real truth about bacteria. With that said, I was surprised to learn that not all bacteria is bad. In fact, 99% of the bacteria in the world is actually good for you. They help fight diseases and prevent them later. They can even put out spreading forest fires. Another thing that amused me about Wilson's presentation was his anology regarding bacteria. In the video, Mr. Wilson tried to put a picture to how much bacteria there is by comparing it to a grain of sand. It just amazing to think that there are so many bacteria, and yet we cannot even see most of them. This opens up a completely new aspect of life, the microscopic aspect. Things that you are not aware of. A lot like an unconsious brain. Lastly, I felt like Wilson's TED video actually made a difference in peoples mind. At least it did in mine.
