Who Owns the Internet of the Future? | Ordinary Things | TED

The emergence of data-driven mass surveillance "is threatening to turn privacy into a relic of the 20th century," says the anonymous KZbin creator known as Ordinary Things. Meanwhile, state-funded troll farms are spreading disinformation and curating chaos on platforms meant to connect us and revolutionize the way we live. Ordinary Things gives an enlightening account of the internet's strengths and weaknesses, warning that the fight for a free internet is a fight for our collective future.

Ordinary Things' going places! He should have invited a specialist about the Internet onto the stage too. Maybe some sort of..... Historian.

[@MrHubert1710]

Ah yes next incognito mode episode straight from TED tak stage. Wonderful idea :D

[@peepeepoopoo2400]

It's so weird seeing ordinary things in a completely serious environment

[@jamiemiller9268]

"... It's absurd and tragic." Indeed, the perfect description. I've been trying to deciipher my feelings on these subjects. You nailed it!!

[@yashmore1086]

We need serious competitions to these big companies since a complete market domination is not a healthy way for innovation in market.

[@Marsconquered]

Yes we do. The internet cannot be tamed in any way. And no giant deserves full control over it

[@jamiemiller9268]

"Its based on what people WANT to believe." Regarding disinformation, nailed it again!

[@PooperScooperTrooper]

Great talk. Brilliant to see a young person expressing such thoughts. Good stuff.

[@rogerfarias4506]

He's not that young!

[@PhysicsHack]

This guy has an amazing comedy channel. Really great talk!

[@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat]

14:36 I’m so happy to hear this, as the meme has been it’s a senior home has been around for years. One might call it the cable TV of social media

[@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat]

I like that he clearly went way past his timer

[@leonardigweokolo2813]

His presentation feels like ART. Great...So, who owns the internet of the future?

[@funnytv-1631]

Now that you have taken up residence here in the Fabulous world, carve out time for yourself. Anchor a new habit that validates what solitude can give you. It can be as little as a minute a day. Catch your reflection and don’t look away. Notice how you’re feeling. Give yourself a few minutes of self-care, where you sit down and soothe dry skin or think quietly while you fold clothes. Spend time outside without your phone. Is the sky empty of clouds today? Notice which plants are bursting and which are waiting to bloom. Tune out everything else and tune into yourself.

[@teamsignal17]

Love this! Thank you we all need to be reminded to do this everyday and more than we think we should.

[@1goldinga]

All the internet is run through cables owned by people. They are who have allways owned the internet. The fact that society things it's ownerless is odd.

[@AlexBormotov]

Glad to see mention about Alexei Navalny, documental film about him have recieved Oscar recently

[@TheHungarianMan]

It's great to see him here, it truly, shows that there is need of people who understand the digital world that we live nowadays.

[@significantjoe]

Who is he, though?

[@turtleheadboys5263]

Awesome job! Very well put together and 100 percent accurate.

[@nevarran]

Good one.

[@UCannotDefeatMyShmeat]

11:52 there is a whole story that can be told from these expressions alone

[@spieters6228]

Lmao especially that lady in the back hhh

[@spieters6228]

The blond man looks like Toby Mcmaguire spider man

[@pompeiicruz6927]

Extremely well said. He can be funny but he’s very intelligent. I had to watch this twice to really grasp what he was saying

[@darius2640]

Oh look it's Steeeede Bonnet, the gentleman pirate, where's your 1/8th master?

[@GianlucaAiello]

more than "how to save the internet" is an update on where the internet is: useful to raise awareness, useless if you already are aware.

[@1966human]

I got my " I don't see any pursuit of happiness" comment stolen from a review of The man with the high castle series, absolutely ridiculous

[@jackwilliam4436]

11:05 WHY didn't anyone applaud, when he delivered that sentence ?????????? 😲😲😲😲😲

[@wirausahawan9337]

As the sabotage, shutdown, blackout, we still need conventional for backup

[@themanwnoname3454]

2023(Gregorian) “Respect and dignity.” Furthermore:

[@joelhockin281]

[@significantjoe]

[@gavinde4]

Man, Chad Michael Murray really let himself go

[@terencedodson9131]

The internet is my home

[@acton7150]

Preach that

[@georgenaugles5039]

"😊We're now wondering whether we are free"

[@moondriedtomato]

How long will you be able to get a free education online for?

[@mustardroshi418]

Bro made it lol ❤

[@Tina-ke6gq]

I do like your talk but how could you say that you loved that woman who appeared in the video. Actually, she was one of the supporters of the current government in Myanmar.

[@NeonVisual]

Oh dear god

[@FizzFizzFizzFizzFizz]

I know that guy!

[@A.O.A.]

Why include bezos but commit Google's larry and sergey?

[@gus8493]

Who owns broadcasting copyright ... (short men in Õstereich ...) Who makes, and pays for proxy wars? (The backwards munchkins in Giant Castles)

[@StayVCA98]

It prolly truly belongs to the ones in higher power really, it's only a matter of circumstance and luck i suppose if those supposed owners are good not only as a person, in all manner of business or not...

[@karinakenani]

❤

[@pest174]

I thought it was going to take another ice age before the Internet's favorite caveman is finally getting the attention he deserves.

[@painghtoo4857]

[@izaaguilo]

[@mek5438]

He just goes around a lot and accuse Russia and China at last as if America and Europe never control us using Internet or break law to get access to our private information.
