The birth of a word - Deb Roy

[@jamesmcclintock1375]

I am 72 years old and a retired educator. My degree is early childhood education. Maturation is a process not of time but of understanding.

[@lifecloud2]

I notice too that your son is not just picking up words, but tones. He knows to respond to a statement posed as a question because of the tone before he knows the defining of the word.

[@hjewkes]

This is one of my favorite talks

[@GreasyDaddy]

Watching this for a Human Development course and this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen.

[@corazonvecino9291]

This is not only informative but also inspiring . Thank you so much .

[@vaynardBG]

Wow, Awesome. It always great to hear someone give lecture that's backup with real data like this (especially with cool tech), and not just some prediction or assumption.

[@mariodiaz1916]

This was remarkable and enlightening. I am looking forward to reading his research dissertation and applying his findings to the development of my own child. Amazing!

[@BLASTERFTW99]

Very powerful analysis on events that change the course of our lives forever. Fantastic

[@bradalvarez8703]

best ted talk in such a long time. more from him please!

[@ofgodzeus]

very interesting! one of my fav talks so far

[@TheWdayton]

The is concurrently fascinating, terrifying, surprising, and encouraging. Fantastic work.

[@Hands2HealNow]

Charming and exciting presentation. Wish there was a more precise way of explaining what the value of the information loops about TV were really good for other than as marketing information or other manipulation data. What is his company? I wonder what Mr. Noam Chomsky has to say about this work?

[@meyers323]

This is awesome in terms of its approach

[@MyllenaTofeko]

This is pure genius.

[@aashish77]

this just blowed my mind

[@roninviking]

OH MY, your work is astonishing. a prime example of the system pattern that can be used for good and evil. also showing how our absorption of media and its impact.

[@aliancemd]

Really awesome presentation.

[@jiawenable]

Amazing speech!

[@zigalkodonverven3862]

Amazing! I wonder what they used to combine and track all that footage into one 3D panorama (and how they created panorama and graphs for video and audio instead of photos or visual color exposure histograms), and create the wordscapes! Revolutionary, though it sacrifices privacy. But I'm still curious how they did all that to footage and audio, because it's such an eye opener to me.

[@Alienxmilk]

This is absolutely amazing

[@patrickduboucher]

Even if it were only one micron in width, you've hit that nail right on it's head. chapeau

[@Tamizushi]

This is amazing.

[@psychastheneia7]

Admittedly most of the ideas are not new in the field of data mining, machine learning, etc. However, seems like an innovative idea (controversial but innovative) that provides really valuable data (mainly talking for the first part). So, that is impressive by itself. I am not sure as well if TED talks should be technical. If you wanna know technical stuff you have his name, go to his website and find his papers. I believe that the talk should lay down the main idea

[@MrRono19]

The bit about the commercial use of this was kind of unneeded and ruined the magic of it. Other than that it was cool.

[@cmd2tuts]

Indeed, that is the title.

[@nextblain]

i have seen this before, is TED repeating the uploads? its awesome one tho watched it again !

[@AnantMall]

insanely amazing in short !!!!!!

[@DebbSaxx1]

Now I know why South Americans don't know I'm female when they hear my video playing the sax!! Now enlightened *and* enjoyed this fascinating video!.

[@wownaamloos]

The bird is the word - Deb Roy

[@DaRealFiberOptix]

scarily similar to terence mckennas work. they grind up up up and then all of a sudden a break through and a drop into novelty

[@mtdeezy]

Hasn't this talk been uploaded before?

[@Sagaepic]

This is radical, awesome and super cool

[@mauev]

The possibilities of monitoring and manipulating the discuss in a global scale is… unsettling

[@blei23]

thank you

[@LFLvideos]

They're probably already using it in some form, especially if Mr Roys team can do it

[@yz7036]

Can someone summarize what his conclusion is? It's so hard to understand what he's trying to say for the second half

[@ourcsi]

4:54 - ga ga to water

[@xapemanx]

16:28 full-screen and you see "wtf" in the middle lol

[@susilowati2260]

He was amazing 😮😮😮😮😮

[@sunflyification]

what does it mean to "flip a session"?

[@libanlibanliban]

wow.

[@WordUnheard]

Definitely wow!

[@CIIconoclast]

fascinating

[@xapemanx]

awesome 1984 house

[@cgtoche]

The current technological advances and possibilities combined with the great human mind are getting very scary! Soon handful of people will be able to control us in ways we cannot imagine! It's bad that our moral is not evolving as fast as our creativity... I hope we can evade the darkness which is closing...

[@zeddash]

Wow.

[@poetfriend]

Social superstructure, amazing.

[@HuevoBendito]

Everyone knows the bird is the word.

[@Karkenou]

they either didn't have sex for five years or they turned off the cameras when they did

[@khisus20]

In Spanish is definitely more easy for a kid learn how we say water because it is pronounce awa and it's written "Agua". Water is hard to pronounce!

[@ShinyCucumber]

In Russian too. We just say "voda". But the first word of my younger brother was "tank"😂

[@cmd2tuts]

Repost.

[@MWSARSCA]

Wow

[@irradiatedbadger]

wow

[@lladerat]

Basically what have they done here is created a method to *visualize 'egregors' (thoughtforms)* with a powerfull tool such as social networks.. we only starting to discover their full potential.

[@mynameisdanielrobles]

Why are you guys putting Ted x talks up on this channel

[@DingoTheDemon]

Why was he watching Jersey Shore? T_T

[@FeLiNe418]

lady water

[@joeylantis22]

This guy is in jail now because when he was going to turn in that weeks videos, he forgot to stop recording when he was going to beat his son and wife.

[@ThePhotomusik]

the implications if this is what the NSA is doing globally ...

[@FreshHeat]

10:25 whaaatttttttt

[@andy4226uk]

Pretty difficult for them to make their baby girl without having sex, unless you're saying his wife is the new Virgin Mary...

[@DocSolomon]

right.... because this isn't already happening, lol

[@sarapimpicka]

i cant see anything significant

[@Zralf]

daaaaaaaawwwwwwwwww

[@99Gadgetschannel]

WOW (Y)

[@sparknife5163]

Painfully directionless. Cool revelation that we subconciously adapt our own speaking patterns to help kids pick up words.

[@dustinstienstra5918]

A real wow moment punctuated by a great finale! Amazing.

[@LuckyChatt]

0:15

[@donn333]

Below 300 club :3

[@1Nekit1]

This will change the porn industry

[@nolensvolens5100]

Lots of diagrams - don't know what to make of it. All I hear is "interesting patterns". He could have spent more time on the implications of this rather than dozens of overwhelming animations. Amazing stuff but not TED at its best.

[@Syeal7]

Fast EVERYONJE thumb hus comment up! Make a stand, for removal or shortage of the intro.

[@karbon4te]

1st

[@TheBelmontClan]

Is that like the birth of a turd? Can such vulgarity be miscomprehended in a mispelt conceptional gourmet buffet of such perfectly birthed words. Is there such a thing as a perfectly birthed word in any language?

[@Elizabeth-ti1jf]

lab rats

[@KnightsofEmerald]

wow.

[@SaniSensei]

wow
