She had gone out and bought the afternoon. Its a spectacular book and if you havent read Walter Isaacson its a joy to read him. He can access with the devices that connect our lives. Everyone if he was carrying around some of you that has dozens and dozens of independent technological strength to give us the connectivity that if we just assume today. Walter is the best person i know at explaining the connection that lead to the things that change our lives. In his new book the innovators how a group of hackers, geniuses and geeks created the digital revolution walter strings together not just the hero stories but the stories you wouldnt hear because these things are not made by individuals. Walter does a phenomenal job of explaining how the teamwork involved in the history is exciting and riveting. Now i will just go back to my script for one minute. Im going to quote salon. Com which is a pity when america understands genius is Walter Isaacson. [applause] thank you very much. I wasnt a genius but ive written about a few people who are. Its great to be here at the miami book festival something ive loved for many years now that tom healy has taken it over. I particularly want to thank emma calvi and eduardo pipe ram who is the president of the miamidade Community College because they are doing in their own different way something that is really important for the digital revolution which is make it inclusive and make sure everybody can be part of this revolution. You may know he has created something called launch code. Its going to come to miami and senate will be all over the world but what it is is six weeks for we can learn coding and be part of the revolution. Likewise this is the greatest Community College in america and i want to thank eduardo for hosting it. [applause] i never worked throughout this book the innovators for 20 years off and on. It began when iran Digital Media for Time Magazine back in the days before we knew what Digital Media was before we could get directly on the internet and before there were web browsers in the early 1990s but when the web browsers and the idea of putting the magazine on the internet came along which started to do it and i got called in by my boss the president of timing and he asked me a very simple question which is who owns the internet . I thought thats a clueless question. Who runs it, who built it who is in charge of it and i realized i did not know the answer to that question. I started gathering strength because the good thing about learning about Digital Media sector to meet all these people, people that ive never heard of but should be heroes of a revolution. People like rick licklider who created interactive computing and they lead up to people like steve jobs, bill gates sergey brin and the people we all know as leaders of this revolution. I was lucky enough to be able to meet these people and i started gathering strength and started collecting stories. I would say when he founded intel tell me that story. Icom from vienna which is a place filled with storytellers and its a great journalist and asked some football questions which is tell me your story. I was gathering the stories and i put them aside as you may know when steve jobs called. I had done one on Benjamin Franklin won on Albert Einstein and he called and said what a dumain next . I must admit my first reaction was but then i was told he was fighting off cancer realized it would be a great chance to be part of being up close to somebody who had been a revolutionary. It was a revolutionary and we know we were stored history a little bit. We made it seem like it was a visionary like edison or moore or steve jobs or bill gates or einstein. They have a lightbulb moment moment and all of a sudden innovation occurs. One thing about steve jobs ever less was he was a visionary. He made a dent in the universe by his Creative Vision but he also did it collaboratively. He was a strong cup of tea for those of you who know about him. He was sometimes hard to work with but everyone i talk to said he may be crazy but i wouldnt have given up the chance to work with him. He drove me to do things i didnt know i could do. At the end of my time with steve when he was stepping down from apple i asked him a question which was what product are you the most proud of and i thought he would say mcintosh or the ipod or the iphone. He was always a bit tough and he said those are hard products to create but whats really hard is to create a team that continues to create great products. The product im most proud of is apple. Thats when i realized in his introduction that this is not just about geniuses but how to form creative teams and that is what all of us do in our lives. We realize we play our role in some person might be the visionary and some might be good execution prevision without execution is just hallucinations they need to put these people together. You need to put steve jobs and Steve Wozniak but also a lot of engineers who built a or create apple. The second lesson i learned from steve jobs was one i had my first long walk with him. He talks about the fact that he was a humanities kid as he put it growing up. He loved the arts and the love letter chill literature buddies that i was also an electronics geek and i thought that was strange. I kind of related to that. He knew how to make a Soldering Iron but i was basically a humanities kid. He said i learned from reading something that edward lamps said that the people who stand at the intersection of the arts and sciences are going to be the place where creativity is. Its not just about stem but humanities and the arts but also those of us in the humanities and arts want to make sure we understand the technology that we dont say that grabs the engineers. I have a framework for the book in my daughter who is whatever you are applying to college 16 or 17 she was applying to college and being the type of parents my wife and i are we thought we are supposed to be involved with this process. What are you writing your internship about it for me read it and she being the daughter she is was having none of that. I said well what you do and she said remind me again. Lord mirons daughter was the first Computer Programmer. I realize that she was a good frame for the book i was trying to write this ada lovelace which is where the book begins and where the book and was as i said lord mirons daughter. In the early 1800s she is growing up with a poetic streak because her father is a great romantic poet but her mother that is enough petition and her mother does not want a do to grow up to be like her father because if you know anything about lord byron you know that lady byron thought he was too much of her romantic poet and had wandered off never to be seen again. So she had eight in mathematics as if understanding mathematics was an antidote to being poetic or romantic. It didnt quite work because what ada lovelace does the she combines poetry with mathematics. She calls it political science. She stands at that intersection that i mentioned that steve jobs is talking about. As soon as i read that i remembered that intersection that was fun to slide that Steve Jobs Used to show every product launch. Go to youtube and you can find it and on the screen there would be a street sign liberal Arts Technology and you can say that is what we say at that intersection. So ada standing at that intersection and reading about her because she wandered around Industrial Revolution in england in 1830s and she saw the mechanical limb using punch cards to do beautiful patterns. They were mechanized limbs. Her father lord byron was a luddite and i mean that literally. He was defending the followers were smashing the mechanical looms on the theory that the technology was putting creative people out of work. Back then in 1830s it was thought technology would put people out of work. They were wrong then and they are wrong now when they think that ada knew they were wrong and she looked at the punch card that were doing these limbs and she had a friend named Charles Charles charles babbage. She came up with the concept that is basically at the heart of what the computer revolution is all about which is that with the punchcard or any type of program you can make a numerical machine do anything as she put it anything that can be noted in symbol words music, art, patterns and so she came up and showed in a scientific paper which an area was not usual for a woman to publish in a scientific journal she published a paper that described how this would work and she publishes stepbystep and the first Computer Programming how you would instruct the machine did do a particular task. It is a program that goes stepbystep and has all sorts of embedded things. Something a coder in miamidade would look at it and say ive got it thats essentially what we do some of the virtues of planar Computer Programmer and it amazes me they were so many women at the beginning of this revolution that have been somewhat written out of history. So i leap forward 100 years to the 1930s, late 1930s where real Real Computers family come into existence. To me this was the beginning of a revolution but its like the Industrial Revolution because two things happen. Its not just the steam engine and mechanical processors. The Industrial Revolution is not just a steam engine or mechanical processing. Combining the two. When you combine the steam engine with chemical processors you get an Industrial Revolution and what happens for the digital revolution was the combination of computers and the personal computer and the internet eventually. To me it was a true revolution. I realized i have had been writing about revolutions in the past. I wrote about the scientific revolution and certainly the American Revolution we know about. Did Benjamin Franklin because i thought we should know we wrote about the evolution. If you want to understand the values of america and where we are going it helps to know how or if founders got it started. Yet there was no real history of the digital revolution. There was nobody who had tried to tie it all together. They are our unknown heroes of that revolution pic i got an email from a friend of mine who had written a book in the city know you are writing the history of our generation just like other people with a history of vietnam or world war ii or the depression generation. The history of our generation the revolution of our generation was not political and not military. It was a digital revolution. So i went to the 1930s having set it up with ada lovelace and an amazing character you are going to learn a lot more about next week because i wanted to take him out of the shadows of history the same as alan turing. Id worked hard to take them out of the shadows of history displaying him in a movie. We will do it a thousand times table but ill be able to do and do what he called the imitation game. What alan turing did was threefold. First of all he loved history. He understand to build on ada lovelace because he has to solve complicated math problem. I wont burden you with a problem except its somewhat related to the theory and how you figure out whether things are provable. He doesnt mechanical process to do so. He comes up with the concept of machine that can compute any logical sequence. He calls it a logical computing machine and basically universal. He uses it to solve a math problem or frankly the math problem except for a few math geeks is not the more important part. The more important part was the concept of universal total logical computing machine that can do anything. Then he goes to Bletchley Park secretly. Hes very much a loner and a longdistance runner. When he got sent off to boarding school his parents had gone to india and the foreign service. He writes his bicycle for two days to go to boarding school in a boarding school he discovers he is. By the time alan turing gets varies quite a loner and feels like an outsider but he learns is how to sing at the beginning its all about collaboration and all about teamwork. What they do is they break the german wartime code which made them more than anything else to help us with world war ii. Finally coming out of it he wrestled with this question of free will are we programmed and rp are who we are because we are like machines that are programmed and we have free will will . Wrestles with what he calls lady lovelaces objection. Ada lovelace is at the end of her paper saying that machines can do everything and anything had a caveat. She said the one thing they wont be a listing that have imagination. They wont be able to originate thought. Machines will never think. Machines are different from humans. Alan turing said how would we know back . How can we test that . Alan turing is wrestling with this notion are we fundamentally different from machines . So alan turing comes up with what he calls the imitation game because thats the name of the movie. We now call it the turing test but its simply a way to decide whether or not a machine is you take a machine and put it a different room with a the human. You send the questions and after a while you cant tell the difference between the answers coming back from one side and the answer coming back from the other side you cant tell which is the machine and which is the human. He says theres no reason to believe that a machine isnt thinking. In the Philosophy Department you can argue about consciousness and whether or not thats a good test but it has become the defining test of machine Machine Learning in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence of the digital age and it sets up two strands of the digital revolution. People like ada lovelace who believe the point was to connect humans and Technology Humanity and science the imagination and creativity of us humans connecting to the processing machines would augment each other and the partnership symbiosis she called it would be stronger than machines alone. At some point artists or so intelligence who believe they will have robots and we will be needless and there will be a singularity and wont be useless. I tend to be an optimist. I believe the combination of humans and machines has always been more powerful than the quest for pure artificial Artificial Intelligence. I dont know what will happen in the future but i know ever since alan turing but the imitation game paper he said in 20 years we will have Artificial Intelligence. You can read that in the New York Times the 1950s and even go to the beginning of this year year. 20 years they will bring us Artificial Intelligence. This oneofakind my book who i will get to me and my get to a mom. Nick licklider said maybe so but in the meantime why do we connect more closely to our machines because thats going to be more useful. All the data points we have over 60 years or so of the digital revolution has been the combination that aid envisioned of humans and machines has always proved more fruitful than the quest for Artificial Intelligence. Alan turings on life in some ways is tragic, heroic somewhat of a reminder that maybe we arent machines. After he does the imitation game people keep saying thats not how it works. You have to have impulses. You have to have desires to be human or as a machine wouldnt have that. He was silent on those parts of the debate because at that time he was engaged in an activity when the debates over the imitation game imitation game was happening that was so human he would have found them incomprehensible. The young man who moved in with him gets burglarized in the midst of the police that they have a sexual relationship and i think the police reluctantly because he is somewhat of a National Hero arrest him. Very tragic and they sentenced him as if you were machine to have a poor man treatments to change his orientation. Its really weird to think you could reprogram the basic essence of who we are as humans. Totally wrong but he goes along with it and takes it in stride for a while but then one night he takes an apple takes cyanide and bites into it and commit suicide. That is not something a machine would have done. Imitation game was over. It was clear alan turing was human. To me thats an inspirational thing which is a great heroic person who makes us understand the nature of our humanity and how we have to respect each aspect of our humanity. That machine that he built with his team at Bletchley Park england was a great electronic machine called colossal which helped break the code. But it wasnt odd enough what you would call the turing complete machine at the because it only had one purpose which was breaking the enigma codes are the german codes. To be a rogue computer because i asked myself on the book who did the first computer and you think it would be easy since its one of the most important events of our time. Besides the computer at Bletchley Park there to computers that are in contention the United States very theres one in germany that gets bombed by the allies during during the warranty never completed or the one in the electronic computer. Theres a guy at iowa state named John Vincent Atanasoff and this will illustrate the difference between the loners and the teams. John atanasoff was a loner. He built a machine at iowa state. He didnt have a team around him. He had one graduate student working with him. He would get in his oldsmobile and take long drives from iowa. Actually he often drove to the illinois border because in illinois you could buy liquor by the drink which you couldnt do in iowa. He would have a few drinks and clarifies thought that way. He comes back and gets that machine conceptualize but it doesnt fully work. He doesnt have mechanics and doesnt have a team in the punch card mechanics dont work. Parts of the processes dont work as a mechanical element and in 1942 he goes into the navy and he leaves the machine in the basement of the building and a year later gets this mantle by someone else who took over and did know what the contraption was impressed away. It would be lost to history because as i say creativity is a Collaborative Team sport. Had it not been for the other person who i say is the foremost foremost at the computer and american somebody probably havent heard of and as an exemplar of what the digital revolution is about a guy named john mock ring he was part of that crowd of people who love sharing ideas. He was part of the smithsonian and part of the carnegie institute. He loved going to woodpaneled buildings and book festivals and everything else. He goes around trying to figure out how to i make the computer . He visits bell labs and goes to the 1939 worlds fair and goes to dartmouth. He goes to to does the harvard were there some mark one Electrical Mechanical computer that grace hopper is programming and features about this guy benson atanasoff in iowa. He takes his kids and puts them in a car and drives all the way out to iowa state to visit this computer. He spends four days theyre looking at the computer learning what he can from it. This becomes the bonanza for those of you in this room who are intellectual property or pet lawyers because it ended up being a fight for 20 years. For me its not about stealing. Steve jobs said good artists borrow an great artists steal. If youre pointed a collaborator in the digital age you have to pick up ideas from all over the place. Thats what innovation is. Im taking the site and combining it with the site in ada lovelace at imagination is combining ability. You combine ideas from all over so markley gets back to the university of pennsylvania with all of these ideas in the set im going to need a team. He partners with Presper Eckert a great mechanic and engineer who is a think one of his granddaughters grandfathers invented a machine. Making machines that dont get all gums up or whatever. People who do information theory and six great women mathematicians who are there to program it. This is the in the tradition of ada lovelace. They were mathematicians because one of the things that surprised me grace hopper was doing the department and got her ph. D. At yale. More women that ph. D. S in math in the 1930s than a generation later as an proportion and thats the number three was before wine were told that they did not do math. They are at the forefront of this revolution. What they do is programming and the boys with their toys at curt and mockley think the hardware is the important thing. Women know its not just how its wired but you have to deal with reprogram it because its doing missile ballistic testing an atom bomb testing. They create things like cobol then in the end programming languages become more important than whether his honeywell or sperry or univac hardware. What programming languages and what operating systems are using. The unfortunate thing is that women have been often written out of history of Computer Programming. The day they finally unveiled eniac which is a machine which Eckert Mauchly in the six women and 80 other people created and valentines day of 1946. The war is finally over and they dont have to be secret about this machine. They have a huge demonstration for the press and all that good dignitaries from washington. The women have to say two of them Jean Jennings bartik pioneer programmer a memoir that came out right if she died. A great little book explaining what it is like to go from missouri to be programming the first computer. All these Women Program a demonstration the makes the front page of the New York Times. Then everybody goes off to this great candlelit dinner with all the dignitaries but the six women are not invited. They take the bus back to their apartment on valentines day of 1946. You see after that the role of women begins to decline a bit. Even in 1984 close to 40 of undergraduates studying Computer Science and american universities were women. Its gone in the wrong direction and there are many reasons for that which you can encourage people to write books on. My only slice of this is that women didnt have enough role models. As my daughter said when i asked her about ada lovelace she said until i heard of ada lovelace she was a math person love computers. She said until i heard of eta lovelies the only woman Woman Program right heard that as a character in a batman comic. My father and michaels were so i had this role models. Its useful for people to have role models if they are going to be inspired for innovators and that is indeed what we do when we write this book. We say these are the people that can be role models and help you understand what innovation is all about. Now the computers are pretty pretty cool thing but eniac had 17,400 vacuum tubes which is means its not something you can take home. It had to be made personal because thats america for the digital revolution taking wonderful devices and connecting a more intimately making them more personal. You have to have things like a computer. You have to have people like linklater. He had been at m. I. T. And was in a private company so aligned with m. I. T. It was after world war ii and they were something that happened after world war ii they really helped america become the powerhouse of the digital age and that was there was a collaboration between government funding universities and private companies. It was a threeway collaboration for which bell labs to bbm and other places stanford ayn rand you have these places in which the government was no longer building resource labs where they built the atom bomb but instead Funding Research at universities. Universities and government were collaborating with private companies. We have cut a Research Funding and destroying the feed corn for future invention but that sense that we are all in this together together. They are at war with government and universities but the eisenhower was the heyday of this combination. Nick licklider is doing an air Defense System and he realizes to things one of which is if you are going to have a good air Defense System you have to have quick interactive computers. Things like eniac but i told you about. These are Digital Computers and usually you have to bring a punchcard if you are offering the next day you would get your answer back. That doesnt work when a missile is coming in. You need interactivity. Secondly you need really good graphical user interfaces. By that i mean what you see in the screen has to be easy to understand. Nick licklider helps create a screen which you can tell the difference and a passenger train and coming missile and a pigeon which is useful for an air Defense System. We dont think of that is being that important. Its a key to doing what i said is making us more comfortable with their machines. Convivial is sometimes called. Finally he knows we have to network these the network these to fair systems together. Hes a funny guy from missouri who loves giving credit more than taking it so he calls it the intergalactic computer network. When he goes to the pentagon he is may the first rector of arpa the Information Processing division so the calls at arpanet and it becomes the backbone of what is now the internet. And he delegates this to all the people so if its a clever process. He was also deeply in the art music and he believed there was a connection between art and science. He used to go to museums with some of those engineers and they would stand in front of the picture for maybe an hour. They would look at each brush stroke and they would say okay how does that have to creativity . He tried to to create data and engineering as well but it was a collaborative process to create Something Like arpanet or the internet and what he does is the Resources Centers funded by the pentagon are told they have to be part of this network and they have to figure out how their computers are going to communicate with basically packet switches or routers that are sent to the universities and being the great universities they delegated this past of their graduate students. So you have a group of graduate students at ucla and sri next to stanford and the university of Utah University of california Santa Barbara were the original sites were in cambridge massachusetts where they are making the packet switches and routers and in order to do it they decide to make it very collaborative. Theres a guy named Steve Crocker who i ran in two years ago and ill explain why but he was one of the two graduate students who helped write down what they were doing in the early days of the rules for this new network. He said he wanted to make sure that everybody felt included. He did not want to be top down. He wanted no hierarchy, no command. It was all going to be done collaboratively. Hes standing in the shower at his girlfriends parents house because thats yummy place he can think when he staying in his girlfriends parents house. As they have know to call them. He doesnt want to call them protocols are instructions or plans or proposals even for how you would take a packet and break it up and put a header block on it and recombine when they got to their destination. He says how can i do it and finally comes up with the idea of calling it requests for comment. They write these things out in decide how they think it might be done in a call it a request for comment everybody feels collaborative so they can be a big part of it. Egional hubs like an airline system. Every single node on the internet has equal power to transmit, receive, whatever. Store packets. And at one point we at Time Magazine wrote that the reason it was done this way was so it would survive a soviet attack. That if the soviets bomb, you know, the hub of any system, it could take out the communications system. But by having a distributed packet switch network which this was nobody could take it out. You bomb any of the nodes the internet routes around it. You try to censor the nodes as we know today the internet routes around it. So we wrote in Time Magazine this stuff was designed to survive a nuclear attack. We get a letter from steven crocker, someone i had never heard of. This was back in the 90s. He sai so he wrote a letter to explain why but Time Magazine back then be the better and i was arrogant and said we will not print your letter because we have a better source is the and you and the sources tell us they could survive a nuclear attack. Ive found it amusing. I went back to the files of Time Magazine. And then it says even the people who were building it did not know we were doing better and getting funding so you could tell crocker i was on top he was on the bottom he did not know what was happening. But he said you could tell steve bell was a the bottom it says he didnt know what was happening theyre both right it is the duty it is distributed a collaborative. Cassell connect the network to the computer. They have become big bold things but they became smaller but then eventually you have the personal computer. Born in the early 1870s there is a lot of tribes that come together in of bay area people en communes but they believe the tools should be covered with that freespeech movement with electronic keglers and those trying to hack into the company theyre all in the bay area with all those Community Organizers want to bring computing power. So they all learn from of the of personal computer after a while a few hobbyists come up it was us computer you could sadr from a kit to make a computer with us toggle switch everybody thought this was cool is on the cover of Popular Electronics. At harvard i was there unfortunately somebody a little bit younger and cooler than meet bill gates convinced his friend paul allen to drop out and lived in cambridge he sees Popular Electronics with that issue that came about tocsin down to 0. 75 and said this revolution is happening without us. We have to be in on this. And it is basic for the personal computer. And then touche a lot off in places there was the home Group Computer club of palo alto. You can tell it is an amalgam of all the tribes electronic geeks are those who want control of their own tools as people are waiting for programming end find out they could make 70 copies to give away for free that was the hacker mentality software should be free. Also steve is there the first meeting and says this is lay my kid is Something Better and then to be connected to a tv monitor he does it over the next couple of meetings to show it off and steve bodziak is he a deal out the spec sheet for his new computer to whoever wants it for free until steve jobs says pecan mateys thanks and sell them. After if the nbc the birth of microsoft and Apple Computer but maybe they were used as personal devices that dont want to share with a whole world there one their own creativity. Generally there were not connected to the network there are real revolution in the Steve Manchin was not connected to be that combustible mix. But in 1983 a few things happened. One of which was to give him his due. He passes the act when he becomes Vice President it should be open and free. And then to go directly to the internet. With the Online Service providers but in 1994 at the beginning of the year to help invent the web browser with government policy blessed with the Online Service you supplement the world wide web. We made a couple of bad mistakes we poured oldline into new bottles we should have realized the Online Services that we were creating community. We are a social animal Online Services were doing that but then they get to the web restart dumping Time Magazine online. Because the street finds its own uses. To say you were doing it all wrong. You were turning this into of publishing medium so kepi natalie a of list of cool web sites he called it a web lot of activities. Pictures of his private parts store suicide letters. [laughter] it skirted too much information but it became the way we communicated on line. That eventually they wear it shortened the name then it becomes a community medium. But everything i have talked about has been the lovelace the vision that we end up connecting more carefully for it to believe. Gore as touring would say would replace a sorry get rid of us. When we can think it weighs isnt that what with the Pds Wikipedia is . Know it is a great piece of software with creativity of millions of humans. I remember a the wonders and when wikipedia cave i was writing by either side book early in the process i would start to edit stories away billions of others stick. Did. There was one passage that said in 1937 isais secret the travel to albania so the could give him a visa to escapes the nazis. Everything in that sentence is wrong. He did not go there so i took it out to. Anybody can edit a and it comes right back. I take it out and it comes back. I think it is ridiculous. Bedmate are proud nationalists and they said the there ogle saw him on the streets so finally i am about to give up then it is no longer there. The wisdom of crowds said they got it wrong but it was me but then it dawned on the i am part of the crowd adding my wisdom to a crown source medium that is why 85 works even with google. First of all, you can ask google a really hard question what is the depth of the red sea . Itll save 5,345 feet but if you ask an easy question can a crocodile play basketball . Baby will get the gators schedule but nothing close to an answer. [laughter] but the four yearold could give you the answers so theres still fundamentally different and there is no reason to separate the two. The ada connection makes their work that is what they figure out of a governmentfunded project that Government Research private Company University collaboration in realized instead of following finding the answer but find out what really cubans use on their web sites which combines the thought and was and wisdom of millions in that has been the strength of the digital revolution. The upside but tuesday with us even todays speech technology. Is not like the high tide or truly creative as a figure out our education that is how they have something in common. Gore einstein tells us that time marches along. How to retests that . And as steve said in his 1997 average he came back to apple heres to a the misfit sale of the rebels and those who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. So that there should to question authority to be a rebel to have that sense of humanity is very important but it works both ways. A lot if you are nodding. With the ones to believe the those of us who are appalled the lighter note of picasso or the difference between hamlet zero or macbeth. But those who are willing to do a joke they dont know the difference between the g gore the chromosome gore the gene. Those are the hard things cannot is difficult as the picasso paintings but theyre also beautiful those of us on either side to see how beautiful it is on a piece of silicon so it becomes the on and off switch i hope you understand the creativity of the engineers because you can be like ada to understand the beauty the piece of poetry to visualize. But she also could visualize the stepbystep sarah of instructions. Because she knew a piece of coding or mathematical equations was just as much as a piece of poetry and to be that is the lesson of the digital revolution. Thank you. [applause] i see people lining up. This is good. I have read your book. As an author i wonder how you can write so many books and still have a fulltime job. [laughter] llord does not work that hard at the aspen the institute. [laughter] on your current book what is your take on the edwards noted revelation to save our privacy from the internet . I am an optimist and i dont really approve of what ever is noted does but i could see the Silver Lining laws are passed and not but the most important thing you have written about this a lot, i can we keep one step ahead . Will the moral sensibilities keep up starting with socrates and plato talk about destroy memory is vague tend to keep up with technology with a few bad mistakes like the atom bomb we did not think that through but nowadays we have. It is somewhat amazing that we wrestle with these things so now wrestling with the balance the privacy even the head of the nsa says may get a wrong. But i do think this debate is happening in public but to all stand up to say we shouldnt be feted as another person but i would not put him in jail the reason we were to bring it was to protect the freedoms and liberties of the country. But we have to struggle to get a right. I love living in the world to debate headwords notion for fourth dash thank edward snowden. You need to have the politics and of the history combined with technology. What did we do with the postal system . With todays say about reading other peoples mail . It helps to know is the humanities and philosophy every single day whether a the cab hailing applications said every day we have to figure out. We met at the Aspen Institute at the einstein conference that was excellent. But i just recently finished a Research Paper entitled the planet theory the seventh floor algorithm that is the theory of everything under its umbrella the theory is can i just give you a copy . Bring it up. On his deathbed dr. Einstein still try to figure out a unified theory he sat there until the line went off the paper. [applause] for the last eight years dealing in the country is on the wrong track but what rapid technological change plays in that and if you have a price for People Living with innovation and change .

C. Trust me. We live in the country that still does the most innovation pops up with google or facebook or apple that still has the economy somehow they have been the economy growing faster than europe and they thought they knew what to do. It is and that everything is going bad but to have a new sense of prosperity but everybody is not sharing equally. People of color, women, others we need to make sure every kid in america understands the arts in humanities and technology and learn how to code and our moral sense can keep up with that technology. Imi daughter of a man who majored in philosophy and went to graduate school and was told there are no jobs up there for philosophers so he left with a masters instead of the ph. D.

So there he was a humanities person was trade in all of this so my question is how do we encourage this today without a degree in engineering . One of the lessons is he could embrace engineering and applied his philosophy.

We have to take pride in whatever we do to keep the river of history versus how much we take out. [applause] one last question then the rest of you can come up. I am sorry we are a headache the witching hour.

[laughter] i wish she lived in venice a little more of the of to try to capture what it was like in the renaissance to not just combine art and science but believe there was no real difference between art and science.
