The Great Porn Experiment: Gary Wilson at TEDxGlasgow

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/20/young-people-japan-stopped-having-sex

The first 20 hours to learn anything

- Deconstruct the skill, set specific goal.
- Learn just enough to self correct
- Practice at least 20 hours

Charlie Todd: The shared experience of absurdity

- I think we need that.

TED: Mike Rowe: Learning from dirty jobs

Peripeteia: realization and tragedy.

Sergey Brin: Why Google Glass?

- When you need information, you don't need to search for it, it just come to you.
? It implies that we can connect with the real world more. Is it true?

Keller Rinaudo: A mini robot -- powered by your phone

- Great high level programming add-ons to make robot more personalized!
- Muyueh:Looking forward for a romo that fly 

- USD 150
- Romo
- Follow motion, and move around

- Completely intuitive for people of all age

Katherine Kuchenbecker: The technology of touch

Muyueh: guesses that there is also a high potential in the porn industry.

- Haptics /Simultate touching (Haptic phtography)

force sensor /motion tracking /accelerator / vibration sensor (10 sec)

surface gives vibration feedback

(online shopping)

Dentist use teeth's feeling to detect cavities. Able to learn this before people touch it. Potential in medical training.

Game /Sport to be more realistic.

Ken Jennings: Watson, Jeopardy and me, the obsolete know-it-all

Hard Question
- When information is so easy accessible, is memory/processing that much important?


- "I came to believe that there is two advantage for knowing:"
1. Massive different of facts (information are doubling every 18 months); need to have more basics to know where to search.

Muyueh: isn't this the reason why one should not be memorizing that much information ? The fundamental basic that ones need to manipulate the system (ie: searching on Google; or like the process of problem solving in consulting) is different than the memorize it all approach.

One interesting place where this is still disconnected is education: especially the test system, that so far still consist of testing the processing/memorizing ability of humain. 

There will come a day people should be allowed to use Google in their exam, lookup for problem that has been already been solved. As computer is very bad at framing the problem, making decision and pattern recognition.

2. Advantage of time, little girl that remember the right fact that save people from tsunami - > share connection between people.

Muyueh: this is a moving story, but what about all the people that doesn't recall this fact? Isn't it the case where it shows that people among one thousands people, only one little girl recalled, hence, having people to memorize is in fact a bad strategy that we should not rely on?



It is always better to know a thing, then not to know. Last cultural heritage that people shares.

-> Question where who leads the future. Machine taken over where machine takes over.

Muyueh: false dichotomy,

-> Spirit of Jeopardy: people that are curious about everything, constantly learning.





- He is a programmer beaten by IBM computer, understand the difficulty for AI to underst and Jeopardy (a little line that comes closer and closer)

- "I felt an Detroit worker that is been replaced by robot"

- Middle class they can do taken away vs. People will have more time for leisure

- "Is all our of brain going to shrink?"

Kees Moeliker: How a dead duck changed my life

- Ig Nobel Prize: first make people laugh and then makes them think: ultimate goal to make more people interested in science. (high price fake medicine is more popular than low price price fake medicine)

- Why does it mean? Only dead is instant.

- Bird fight its own image in glass.

Sanjay Dastoor: A skateboard, with a boost

Great HW startup idea.

Miguel Nicolelis: A monkey that controls a robot with its thoughts. No, really.

- The sound of brainstorming
- Billion of cell to capture

- 10 years ago, benchmark (monkey) artificial arm and real arm in real time ( < 0.5 sec)
- Monkey uses artificial device to play game
- Also sending back artificial feedback

- NOW: Train animal to control avatar to explore the virtual world (send back virtual world feedback, that brain learn how to control artificial hand

Global Trip takes 20 millisecond less than the monkey brain to physical.

Esther Perel: The secret to desire in a long-term relationship

- Crisis of desire: free choice and identity
- This is the first time over the history, we are trying to experience sexuality in the long term: pleasure and connection

- Two human needs that we wish to reconcile

1. Safety: Permanence 
2. Adventure: Journey and Travel

This is often a crisis of imagination.

Love -> to have
Desire (sex) -> to desire ( to explore, an bridge to cross)

When do you find yourself most drawn to your partner?
Group 1
- When the partner is away./imagine to be together
- When partner is self-sustaining, from a comfortable distance, to a somewhat distance. See my partner in a mystery.

Group 2
No needs (care-taking) in desire, different to wanting them.

Group 3
When there is novelty: what part of thing you show. Sex is not a thing to do, but  a place to go.

Imagination is the center piece of erocticism.

Those who didn't die: worry, insecure, anxious can't experience erotic.
vs.
Those who came back to life: erotic as an antidote for life.

"I turn myself on/off when" vs. "what turn me on":

When I feel old, when I felt low self-esteem
vs.
Desire is a certain part of  selfishness in the presence of other.

Exploratory needs. Need to explore while at the same to be able to come back.


Few things to do:

- A lot of sexual privacy, erotic place
- Foreplay
- An erotic place, is a safe place for imagination
- Moon, cycle vs. fall right from the sky

- Committed love is presence

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)

16:9 (75%)

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.

Wingham Rowan: A new kind of job market

- Problem: make use of flexible labor force. Defined by a last minute of available force.
- Marketplace for rush hours. The terms that they will accept booking.
