I mean, it's just technology.

I think it's a hopeless goal.

Amazon uses data to understand how to place products on their website.

I want to point at something here, on the left.

The idea here is for you to be able to connect anywhere.

(Applause)

These operations are technically impossible.

It's not possible, even with today's technology, it would shatter.

It would have been a piece of cake for him to block and override our surveillance signal.

I think we want to engage as many people here as possible in helping us think of smart interfaces that will make all this possible.

And it doesn't just apply to computation.

You know, with the technologies we have today, we can save between 30 and 50 percent of the energy of a country in Europe, and we can solve half of the rest with renewables.

You need talent, discipline and determination.

old habits plus old technology have predictable consequences.

Last year, I told you the story, in seven minutes, of Project Orion, which was this very implausible technology that technically could have worked, but it had this one year political window where it could have happened.

This gamma technology has limitless applications.

Why is it that Nelson has access to a cutting edge technology, like the cellphone, but doesn't have access to a 100 year old technology for generating electric light in the home?

that can be faked.

And this kind of thing would have been impossible without a microphone.

I'd like to tell you a little bit about the challenges in building these, and some of the terrific opportunities for applying this technology.

You know, do our technologies allow us to express?

And that's exactly what the pilot did for me.

But it surely is a very important moment for design, because not only is the technology proceeding, not only is computing technology making open source possible also in the world of design, but also the idea of sustainability which is not only sustainability from the viewpoint of CO2 emissions and footprint, but also sustainability of human interrelationships is very much part of the work of so many designers.

Its origins, its foundations, and its possible future applications.

Such skills could be put to many practical uses.

Used to think that it was Impossible.

So we did this surgery with within an half inch incision.

I have a friend with stunningly severe depression

Lung cancer. Inoperable.

There's actually one going into human trial, so this is feasible technology.

We then used an animation technique called stop motion to manipulate the cards in ways that would be otherwise physically impossible.

Ray Kurzweil and all the other talks we know that the stick is going up exponentially.

You can read the details, but in summary, we can transform our economy.

If topsecret electronics were out there for sale or in the hands of a foreign operative, we would have picked up something by now.

Any powerful technology is inherently dual use, and, you know, you get something like synthetic biology, nanobiotechnology, it really compels you, you have to look at both the amateur groups but also the professional groups, because they have better infrastructure, they have better facilities, and they have access to pathogens.

A few months ago, a student showed me an article on the top twelve IT skills.

Technically, if you had a get request that submitted your form, and then you redirected when a form was valid, yes you can remove the form parameters from the URL.

So what you're sort of seeing here is an example of disruptive technologies, of mobile, social and analytic technologies.

In the case of design, that means balancing desirability, what humans need, with technical feasibility, and economic viability.

We've all got it, which means that this technology is just as appropriate for developing countries as it is for First World countries.

So this involves a lot of technical issues in how you extract the DNA, how you convert it to a form you can sequence.

It is technology that has made them different, and as we see what this technology can do, we need to recognize you can't kill the instinct the technology produces.

So we can make a model of your heart, your brain on a chip.

i think that this is an incredible final time for artist there is no cap on creativity the technological advances have given the artist an open door to creating as much as their capacity will allow

I think that's going to become completely possible as the amount of data we're producing and technology's ability to understand it both expand exponentially.
