To Ted McGrath know this nobody can make anybody do anything I don’t want to do fact no matter how much u continue to bootstrap them only forces them to achieve great things remember I said that
Olivia, I would love to hear more about what kinds of challenges the industry is facing towards making these technologies more affordable and accessible to the general public
I felt like this was too short…… Such a compact presentation….. Waw….. You work is amazing…… Waw again….. I am glad I got this notification from YouTube…..
@T ED this is a scammer…… This is not the Ted channel
Wow… this was more engaging than I thought. Great presentation.
Seemed very longwinded. 2 minutes and 37 seconds in and I’m done.
You just left when it got interesting. go to 7:10 uncanny I cannot say what it the real and the robot face
@Xyz Same Pretty sure the top right is the human being
That relationship will evolve as much as we can imagine it and solving all the problems for it to work. There will no be no boundaries for it. In a near future all the new borns won’t leave the nursery without a chip implanted into the brain!
Really great!
time does NOT run away with US…it runs away with thinking (identified)…
wake up …study mind !

Wow, forget humans huh? Something’s wrong with people who think robots are more than a hunk of metal. Keep pushing the De pop agenda!
She can see the future with this technology and that’s why she sounds nervous
Nice sentiment with tech helping seriously debilitated humans. BS that it should go any further…
Their fortitude is unbelievable!
‘ A cyborg manifesto’ by Haraway, brings great a theory about humans and machines, and how we have integrated technology in us in so many ways. Our phones for example, is a technological extension of us, and it will be fascinating to see how our brains will have adapted centuries down the line.
This was so insightful.
