Computer scientist David Magerman made a name for himself as he worked alongside a long time Trump supporter, Robert Mercer. The latter played a significant role in the financial areas of Donal Trump?s electoral campaign in 2016.

After much research, computer scientists discovered that the real enemy on the internet are humans. Majority of his study is derived from large social media platforms like Google, Facebook, and Twitter. These companies have countless employees who have access to their user?s info. And this confidential information is what?s making these platforms earn billions.

David Margerman is fixed on this concept that he was the first to donate $400,000 to break-up Facebook. After this fruitless quest, he started ?Different Ventures? together with well-experienced start-up investors Nick Adams and Alex Katz. They all share interests in astronomical data, and the impact social media has in the world.

Magerman?s focus is to create an exciting and new kind of internet that is secure, easy to use and safe. He?s trying to build a version of the internet that compresses the social media titan to only a percentage of their current worth. He believes that doing so will force these platforms to depend on what they do on their users and not the amount of personal information that they get from them.

 The Wisdom Segment

  • I While the gluteus maximus is the largest muscle, the masseter is the strongest one. The masseter is the jaw muscle that helps mammals chew.
  • II When humans grow older, a quarter of their bones move to their feet. This is caused by lack of exercise, due to old age. Inactivity makes the cartilage stiffen and shrink, which leads to reduction in joint mobility.
  • III Your hair tends to grow faster than it usually does whenever you go on an airplane. The hair grows faster due to atmospheric pressure!
  • IV The sun’s core is pitch black, despite the fact that the sun’s outer surface glows bright enough to burn your retinas. If the sun’s bright surface was removed, it would be total darkness. The surface is the only bright side of the sun.
  • V After a very long day at work, you’ll be around 8mm shorter than you were before leaving home in the morning.
  • VI Science has proven that children grow up very fast in the spring. A young child develops more quickly in the spring than during other times of the year.
