That is what he means about transparency though. This is what the talk is about: setting down some important guidelines for the open world to work properly. Secretly taking data to help marketing campaigns is not transparent. Using data that we all know is being communicated (eg. Facebook) is actually a really useful tool.

Every time I find the TED speaker speaks fluent English, I breath a sigh of relief.

The sharing way is the right way... What a surprise! I did droped some tears of happynes. Thank you!

The clip on the murmuring was simply amazing. It explained a lot of things(graphically) that we are beginning to see with the advancement of the internet.

Being the pessimist that I am, Internet is a very sharp double edged sword. While it certainly gives individuals the ability to collaborate on a scale and time line previously unimaginable, it gives the people in power the same ability. It tracks your every move, captures every keystroke and worst of all, archives it forever.

very nice summarization. together with this video, this is some pretty stunning material.

October 2021. Still a Wow!💎

Brilliant. We are seeing the beginning of real change in the world. It's nice to have people who can lay it out, so that its easy for everyone to understand. I am excited for my son and his future.

I very LIKE the closing part from 14:30

[...] Other than that, superb speech! Core wisdom served in a very intelligible way with a natural tone, humour and a great final that infuses hope.

Let's do this!

This was a great video, thank you for sharing.

Interesting view of the possibilities we should explore.

this gave reminded me of why I need to look at the good thing and take that as action against the bad!

YOU ARE AMAZING

Let's do this. Beautiful, thanks allot

Beautiful inspirational tear jerking ending woow

this is awesome.....let's build a open world!

LET'S DO THIS!! Great talk! :)

Beautiful closing comments!

Brilliant content - intelligent, mature and developed. Just wanting to know the name of the piece of music played over the starlings?

It sounds like Sir Edward Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March No.1 but played with a quintet.

Awesome comeback.

Great talk!

Wonderful.

I almost cried at that starling clip and his metaphor :''(

Enjoying this talk... :)

Very good!

Trust is the NEW currency in the world of openness!!!

I find your counter argument both compelling and air tight. Well played.

Interesting video!

A good counterpoint to this is the second episode of Adam Curtis' "All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace". There are a good few inacuracies and ambiguities in it, but I sympathise with Curtis' overall claims. Give it a watch.

the "liked" aka bookmarked, to viewed is off the scale (top of the graph) on this one by the end of next month (july 2012) your going to have 1/4 million views and 100k likes..fearless prediction

Cheers

Bravo!!!

Can anyone tell me the name of the song at the end? I know it but can't for the life of me remember it's name, as usually my brain isn't build on remembering names only doing things. Ha. Should learn times tables off by heart but I like to work them out to much. :-)

The basic idea, I couldn't agree more. However, there is a problem in the research of pharmaceutical industry in the latter stages of research in that how to keep the data that is needed to do meaningful analysis anonymous. The data would need to be processed first which is expensive (making it less likely for the companies to do it) and you might lose some important data in the "purging". This idea would be great for basic research though and I think of "growdsourcing" some of my own research.

thx for naming the song :)

Funny how this works, his presentation is full of optimism about the collective mind, but when you scan some comments down here you are brought back to reality fairly quickly. This is exactly how the collective mind works, you get input from different sources immediately in the comments, so we are in fact already "doing this"... Conclusion: although I liked the talk, we don't need no revolution initiated by Mr Tapscott.

Hmm, what visual would you deem appropriate to accompany that song, if not this?

Curiously the thing that makes this all possible is the Hard Disk Drive. Still spinning away silently after 50 years. Not enough solid state to compete with it. No one ever talks about it.

Than, you are the lucky one as far as the nationality is concerned. I am a Croatian, which is better than if I were e.g. from Uganda, but my country suffers of all transitional illnesses one can imagine. My choices were either to go to Sweden and have a decent life, but to be a foreigner my whole life, far from my family and old friends - or I could have stayed here and try to change my country, even though the local mindset is not in my favour. I chose the second... we'll see how it goes :-)

Edinburgh is in Scotland.

Thanks to my professor Dr. Doblas for suggesting this video.

I think technology is a sharp double edged sword: internet connection and social media can be very useful, but they don't necessary make people free; on the contrary, they put everyone under constant peer pressure and make our every move istantly available to government and corporations. I work as a marketer for a very small company and still thanks to social media I am able to quickly get personal information about people to turn them into prospects and archive these data. Is this real freedom?

15:36 "There's leadership, but there's no one leader". Anarchy is not the absence of order but the absence of leaders.

Losing our personal freedom? That is not the fault of the internet!

For openness you need trust. But I think we would be crazy to trust either the government or large corporations with our personal information.

Thank you. I have a a friend who lives in Göteborg with his family. He is an engineer in Ericsson, while his wife is a dentist and they live very happy life. One of the things that talks in favour of Sweden is the fact that you are very nice to your immigrants. In order to avoid the impression that I'm kissing your butt, I must tell you that you have an absolutely awful weather ;-)

No, I'm more curious to explore an application of Pachelbel's Canon that OP would ever find acceptable. As i suspect "those violins" are probably "a bit much" for him in ALL circumstances.

02:53 There's a problem with the English transcriptions. It says "this technology push a democratic kick from a new generation", but there seems to be written "this technology to russia demographic kicked from a new generation" in the transcriptions.

Very lucid and well-considered principles. Of course, these are ideals with a moral application. Datamiam is correct in saying that money equals power, but Tapscott is also correct in saying that virtuous behavior brings wealth. They are two sides of the same concept. Both of you are making essentially the same observation with different moral conclusions.Hmm, reminds me of the Malthus debate. To me, these are all observable results of known quantities. Science rules!

Resource-Based Economy!

We are the Borg. Resistance is futile. We will add your distinctiveness to our own.

No, he simply wants corporations realize that intellectual property is an asset and if left for people outside of the enterprise to produce things with it, this production can in turn produce sizable gains for the company in question and for society as a whole.

I'm talking about the general or average mindset of the population. In each society there are better and worse examples, of course... People in Finland live very modestly. Even though they are very rich society (comparing to vast majority of countries in the World) they do not drive expensive cars, do not build big or fancy houses, they do not like any kind of pushy or flashy behaviour... Instead they invest in future and education. Japan and Sweden have the similar culture....

Your Idea sounds something like the Geth in Mass Effect do. XD

Openness means vulnerability as well as growth.

Interesting. A little too optimistic, I think, but interesting.

I think a true collective intelligence is not something that we can affect, it would exist beyond us just like our own thoughts are beyond the grasp of any single neuron. Calling any collective intelligence good or bad is irrelevant.

There is a danger about this too; if the transparency is a one way mirror, it will give way too much power to the one side. We need to force transparency, force new more open models on a global scale. The music industry would not change willingly, but will do so or die because technology won't reverse. People may not realize how important the battle for freedom on internet is in a historical context. This will go the more-open-world route, or the totalitarian one with the corporations ruling...

Bad analogy with the murmuration. Nice idea, but current knowledge about these formations tells us that no information is exchanged between the birds, they simply act on very simple instincts like 'maintain distance', 'keep flying', and the complexity of the movements arise from the ensemble. And btw those violins were a bit to much

Again, there are many pieces of intellectual property which corporations aren't forfeiting and you'll probably won't get to access the main pieces of intellectual property which fuels the corporation. Or maybe you will. It really all depends on whether or not having you as a consumer experiment with Coke's recipe will benefit the corporation on the long run. This is really just a call to corporations not to be stupid when it comes to what they keep private. Everything is usable.

Too bad he emphasized on the incentive that "being virtuous brings more money". Here's some attempt at wisdom: money is raw power, equivalent to the power of a politician. With a lot of money you can influence the world, by using it to accelerate the development of the areas you are interested in. Now who gets big amounts of money? Do we elect them? Are they the wisest people on Earth? Well, really wise people don't seek, nor are given the money. We are governed by the greedy. I hope it ends someday.

Data is the most expensive thing in the world, costing all of us when it is kept hidden. The US Navy was not allowed to speak about raising the piers in Norfolk, and the EPA was not allowed to release a report under the Bush Administration. Data about conditions affecting populations needs to be reported out as soon as it is mined.

y u ignore usable information in my comment?

check out Robert David Steele's book "The Open Source Everything Manifesto" If you you like this what Don Tapscott is talking about in this video.

Maybe so, but here's the thing, technology always improve production so more and more people are going to be left off and their purchasing power will decrease over time creating a paradox in the market system. I believe that it is happening right now all over the world; so money itself will become less and less important because of this. U c; the monetary system is obsolete, we can produce abundant food and provide for everyone, we don't need to create wealth, to me, that a mind-set of the past.

The government has the ability and power to get into our homes and private lives if they wish. They used to do this until 1776 when we as a people decided we didnt want that anymore. We as a people need to be vigilant, arm ourselves in this digital age, and unite as a group that wants to keep the internet free, open, and private. We CAN keep the internet and corporations out of our lives.

No fear my friend... unite as one big hole... and remember all wish to help each other so there is no real reason to hide health. It could be what kills you. :-)

In case I've lost you...philosophy, religion and discipline are much less interesting when you're a kid than the vast labrinth of free knowledge, but these are the disciplines that grant you freedom. My generation (I'm 30) suffered from the lack of discipline, and I still suffer in many areas of my life because of this, while my parents didn't have to. Will my kids suffer from the lack of guiding principles, morals and structured general knowledge?

Just fucking beautiful.....

Such thing as "real freedom" does not exist in life. You can only be free when you die - but that does not matter to you at that point.

Sam TED talk he did in New York...

The personal information you can get, are put on the net, by the people themselves. True, there are examples of companies with poor security, who have leaked personal information, but mostly, it's our own choice, what we share on the net. And that's pretty free to me. :-)

I wanna see this, IRL...

The borg?

Pachelbel - Canon in D

Or you could just open source an effort to test coke extensively and unlock the recipe. Recipe information isn't copyrightable after all.

Idea Agora. Ideogora?

He put everyone to sleep in the second part :)

Dare I say it? Yes. First! Also, booo ACTA and CISPA.

what "cliff" will the pharmaceutical industry fall off?

If only someone invented Cerebro I guess creating a collective intelligence would be so much easier.

LEEROOOOOOOOY JENKINS

Wow, soooooooooooo rude! Guy's texting at 10:20.

actually this is my god given mission. oh dear are we at an impasse?

I (3d comm dev) used to love Web 3d consortium. Beautiful standards; Scientists, IBM geeks, coders, Best paradigms always won, everybody learned.. fun. Health pros can model walking, physicists can do cosmos & atoms, real scopes & 'perfect' functions. used in games & animations too. Open also means gems for humanity, things many people take for granted that wouldn't be here if corps owned. Capitalism is junk. copyleft FTW. dump greed & suits,. equality, education, good life. watch?v=y1DFwtR755I

14:54 "Edinburgh in the moors of England"? The Scots won;t like that one!

Nice. if all people in the World were like the ones from Sweden, Finland or Japan, this even might have worked.

We are a part of one conciousness, just like the starling are, but we have fallen extremely dis-harmonic with eachother, it seems now we are creating an artificial conciousness through the internet.

So that is a yes then got it.

Stand alone complex?

The word ignorance works just as as well, and does not due you the disservice of making you seem pretentious.

it's not like you would know. unless you were him.

11:20 a guy in the crowd doesn't approve this twitter-health-care thing, this talk is right about the power of internet but is too flourished imo. Doesn't talk about that power in the hands of the powerful people of this world.

Not so. 1 guy demanding the sole attention of an audience of hundreds of people would be rude.

Please watch a few saudi drifting videos and you'll get the picture.

The only part, I think, that I disagree with him is the "collaboration" part of openness. The owner is still the one that fucks over the worker. 500,000 in prize money for his corporation to make 10 billion dollars? When an investment is that good, someone is getting fucked in the ass, but with enough vasaline to not realize it.
