Mitch Resnick: Let's teach kids to code

- Scratch, programming for kids.
- Kids create their interactive motherday card; ppt w/ animation

- Kids has became fluent w/ the technology.
- Chatting, Gaming different than create new technology ( read but not write)

- The ability to write their own code.
- 100 of websites that teach coding

- Should children learn to code?

- drag and drop programming

 - already connect to the real world/hardware

- use NB camera (kinect)
- Voice control


- The kids are learning code very young!

- Learn to code -> open up many other thing (knows why should use variable)
- exactly to know where to put the right code

- The process of design; how to fix bug, try ideas

-> The future kids are scary. 

They will have the design skills, and an born knowledge of how computer writing.

I only learn how to write and read in a very stage

How simple ideas lead to scientific discoveries - Adam Savage

- Inertia (leads to Nobel Prize)
-Simple question->Scientific discovery

-Earth is round was already know by Aristotle. see sun shadow ( 1% difference of diameter of the world )


- refining other people result.
- great technology; with technology that were available a decade ago.

- Light. use wheel to determine 2% of light speed in 1849.

- Different scientist are starting in the same place as us. More curious more hardworking.

Why the shape of your screen matters - Brian Gervase

4:5 -> 1:3 (movie)

pan scan techniques to eliminate part ( 55% stay)

Questions no one knows the answers to (Full Version) - Chris Anderson

- Question no one knows the answers to. Great list of difficult question.

- No one knows the answer to: How many universe exist?

- Galaxy->grain sand; milky way fill 30 by 30 vy three sands;

- String theory-> countless (?) other universes, build on different properties. 11 dimensions. 10^500 universe

infinite universe.

No agreement on this question 0->infinity


- Why can't we see evidence of aliens life?

- Half of trillion planet in the galaxy

- Other civilization in million of years of advance

- Possible answer:
- A superior species made a radio silence; and ready to eliminate other species.
- Maybe it's fare harder than we think: four billions year

- Just haven't look it up yet ( looking in too short time)
 - Maybe not looking the right way (dark matter?)

- Maybe looking at wrong scale ( smaller scale turn itself microscopic )

- Maybe biological life is just a passing phase. ( interesting)

I like the message. Haven't done fact check yet, but it is a good thing that someone is asking/discussing the difficult question.

Pamela Meyer: How to spot a liar

- Core proposition: Lying is a cooperative act. Someone else has agreed to be lied.
- Deception cost 7% of revenue.

- Henry's rule: "Everyone is ready to give you something, for the thing they are hungry for."
- Lies connect the gap.

- 10 - 200 lies/day

- stranger lies 3 times within 10 mins of meet each other

- Men lies more about themselves than other people; women lies more about other people

- Extravert > Introvert
- Married couple: one lie in ten interactions; not married: one in three interactions

- It will be good if the source are checked when talked (popcorn project)
- Conform to which study; Original Quotes;

- We are against lying, but we cover for it

- Larger the cortex-> More Lies

- One year old baby: conceal truth
- Two year old : bluff
- Nine year old: cover up

- Lies spotters : spot 90% of the time.
- Rest of us : spot 54% of the time.

- Technique to spot lie:
Formal > Informal language
Distance Language

Chatter with fingertips

Freeze upper body
Fake smile (real smile in the eyes)
Over compensate eyes contact

An honest person will cooperative; brainstorming; imply strict punishment; furious about wrong accusation

Deceptive; redrawn; way to much detail; very chronicle details; uncoordinated speech physical gesture

Leak an expression; contempt (you are been dismissed, asymmetrical lips)

Lower vocal tone, feet to the exit (need to appear in group)

Technology to deceive lies.

Challenge: over sharing is not honesty. Signal to outsider to not cooperate on lies.
