I mean, it's just technology.

And it doesn't just apply to computation.

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

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

I think it's a hopeless goal.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

You need talent, discipline and determination.

old habits plus old technology have predictable consequences.

These operations are technically impossible.

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

We are talking this week about the issues that matter most in the world.

But if he continues to overwork himself like this, there's more than a chance for it to turn into a myocardial infarction.

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.

Such skills could be put to many practical uses.

We have developed a tremendous appreciation for the capabilities of human race car drivers.

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

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

(Laughter)

Used to think that it was Impossible.

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.

(Applause)

( dramatic theme playing )

It's not possible?

It's possible.

There's a basic, profound acceleration of this evolutionary process.

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

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

Hope is here. Yes we can.

So that's not the scenario that we're talking about.

Are you sure, Doctor?

What if he's moving the safe as a diversion?

Possible target for terrorists?

Does that happen?

This Wendy person, she has the diamonds?

There's a possibility they just didn't use any.

Lung cancer. Inoperable.

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

I have a friend with stunningly severe depression
