Technology Is Reinventing Humanity | Jordan Nguyen | TEDxSydney

[@geetugupta7244]

The only person on ted-ex who actually has an understanding of each and every thing he's talking about, bravo mate!

[@MAYANKSAXENA-ms1ns]

I mean, I appreciate your pov about him being knowledgable but it does not imply there aren't any ted speakers devoid of their field knowledge.

[@geetugupta7244]

I can't believe I watched an 11 min long...so-called "boring" speech with hardly any effort, and also - I was slightly smiling throughout the ted-talk. This guy has some incredible skills!

[@nahia-jl9mj]

It is very interesting to see how technology has contributed a lot to our lives, making everything easier. It is great to find more advantages that improve our way of living.

[@santinocastrataro9727]

The idea of recreating a person on a program and meet it through an oculus is fantastic!

[@fiorellasolis4293]

It was so interesting to know that we can see yourself through the virtuality and interact with them.

[@marialourdesbelle1433]

I want to tell myself, where do you want to go...

[@panashifzco3311]

This is extremely informative and useful.I think most people tend to forget how beneficial technology can be.

[@ezequieldubelly9875]

There is a movie called "ready player one" that it's about a future world and in this world all the people live un virtual reality. It's so crazy!

[@facundofukuhara6546]

I agree with you

[@adanv11]

Thank you so much you just gave us an idea for a school project!

[@EricRounds]

Very interesting. And thoughtful to include the emotional responses we'd have rather than just the technological advantages. Reminds me of The Congress, a movie with Robin Wright.

[@leonelmperon1878]

The idea of a virtual life is fantastic, but it also would lead some mental illness if you use it with no restrictions.

[@dennisr.levesque2320]

You're confused. It isn't "Technology Is Reinventing Humanity". It's "How technology can inspire us to re-invent ourselves". You forgot where the original thoughts come from.

[@zeroonetime]

The Uni-verse is self~creation, and so "we" are. With, or without virtual reality.

[@ericpham7871]

I think the real need of technology was to redeem itself by assist human to regain their own purpose in the future of man machine

[@GoldenRoseRecords]

There needs to be more advancement in human consciousness or else an advancement of technology will over take humanity

[@hitkid2456]

Technology may be too amazing for us humans, I fear.

[@arcane1871]

We are emotional beings. Computers are solely analytical. It just won't work.

Reversing aging in humans and animals too

[@matthewsjardine]

It is an interesting idea, however, a person is much more than their characteristics, mannerisms and likelihood (both physically and mentally). The person's personality and mental composition is very complex.

[@ademord]

yes indeed, and it would take years for an AI to learn what a person is like to reproduce it, but even if its just a glimpse of the person, that would already be huge for recreating old thinkers, to give you advice in life how to move on from traumas, losses, job problems, etc.

[@renatacuttitta2197]

This type of technology scares me a little because it’s a big jump for our lifestyle

[@veronicakelly4261]

Humans weren't designed to use their hands to press buttons all day, and our bodies weren't designed to sit all day and neither were we born to keep our heads still all day in front of our screens. We associate sitting with eating, as cinemas and shows encouraged a break involving a snack, which we associate when we watch a film on our tv, and now we are using screens most of the day, watching a screen during our working days, or school days, our evenings, its become sociable to engage on a screen to connect with our families, friends, celebrities, all the while thinking of food, when a break comes on or an advert appears, its time to raid the food cupboard, we are sitting down and eating is easy sitting and near impossible whilst in movement. Family meal times are interrupted by screens, meal times aren't the norm with everyone busy on screens, working from home, your near a fridge, at work snack are easy to have whilst working, and our phones have become part of who we are, the latest model makes you feel more acceptable to society, and today if you don't have one you become isolated from society. The health implications, is the damage done to our skeletal body, physiotherapists are required for injuries caused by sitting still all day, muscles are wasting, mental stress and fatigue, weight gain, are happiness declines as we are no longer actioning are own private thoughts and feelings of who we actually are, and if we aren't who we are, then who are we? Real physical activity is no longer the norm, and physical jobs are becoming the intrusion into our lives taking our minds away from our screens, missing out on the latest tweet, or saga pinging onto the screen. Love is lost, and technology has taken over.

[@joseecisneros16]

Maybe trying to copy human qualities like emphaty it's a bit ambicius and in the future it will be dangerous Also, by watching the video, we can realize how useful technology can be.

You know technology is just about electricity but there are other forme of complex engineering like for pressure...vaccum...light...temperature...gravity...magnetic...wood...colors...schotch...metamateriaux...spiritual.....paint... what we call pendant of technology is just tools that use an energy artificial you can even invent this energy but i need a poet for this ....

[@geetugupta7244]

Okay.....Mr. SMART(I'm sayin this cuz I believe you're actually pretty decently 'brainy', from what I've observed, watching your "ted talk") At 8:30, you said something that I found pretty INTERESTING . I reckon that if you have read the Diary of Anne Frank(it's a must read(if you haven't already, go now!)), you can pretty much make out her everyday life, her thoughts & emotions,etc. just by reading it( and 'apparently' she's 'no more' (unfortunately)). So, for most of the 'general' public, you can just write a diary and revisit your past self, just keeping it simple, you know,instead of having something who's constantly sitting on your head, recording your behavior and movements, for future generations to watch you! PS: Great idea,I hope you like my take on it too :)

[@kibonohikari8878]

I would like to share my opinion and concern with these some tech disrupt trend and what if these ever come to life someday?. I know to many of you these will sound conspiracy theory that i am about to tell you. If you guys imagine some fictional movies like "Minority Report, Gamers, The Matrix" ask your self these questions deep inside you "Did you really yourself, family and your next generation want to lived in these kind of world that we create for them?". There are fine line on how far humans need to keep re innovate and make human life better and improve, but at the same time we also need to look the future outcome and consequent if some of the tech that we innovate will get perfected. There is a game called "Deus Ex Mankind Divided" and these game warn us the danger of human augmentation and how human will be divided that already are right now. I just hope some of you future tech innovator out there to please measure the possibilities of consequent and what negative effect and not just positive if you ever invent such device.

in research it is our job to evaluate all these consequences indeed. we cannot proceed without these steps thought ahead.

fuck that, the potential that this concept could benefit the most is for medicine. think about it...wouldn't it be great to be able to virtually copy people as a mean of teaching people how to perform operations? or as blueprints in general, for doctors to consult ways to approach certain medical issues...idk..just a thought.

It is so weak, to spend your life on such sweet illusions. 3D dad - is not the real dad. what the pleasure to speak with unreal? ancient people wanted to know reality, to know themselves, know real people, now many strange people were born, which are actualy as robots with this ideas... they don't want go deep to the mystery of life, of their consciousness - they consumers of such foolish games and illusory "communication". Some already do not see anything strange in communicating with bots to avoid loneliness. crazy.

Naw you don't know what he said what if you played online games as a child as you get older. You could every NEW day meet a old digital copy of yourself. 😂🎉 forget bringing back the dead. You would be having everyday virtual arguments With your daily past digital self. 😮 Good luck not going crazy 😜 When you virtually abuse you're own mind. 😅 I mean let's all face the facts. You want to upgrade your avatar Which turns out to be yourself. The reflection level may be to strong When most can't look in the mirror to begin with. 😮
