I think the pitch I did to Sasha was quite successful. He gave me some suggestions about how to develop my speech as a pitch. I didn't mentioned anything about what my project would be like because I am not sure about what would happen, and the brief didn't said we should include that in the pitch. But he thought that was the reason why I didn't make my idea clear. The part that made me most surprise was that I really did made it in 2 min. When I was practicing and when I did rehearsal with Evaling our language teacher in the morning I didn't made it in 2 min. I think it turns out I would speak faster when I get nervous. Maybe the reason was also when I saw other people doing the pitch, the time was very restricted, then I deleted some part. I got really nervous during the delivery, my voice was shaking. But the outcome seems to be good. Sasha said that was very near to a great pitch. I'm happy with it.

My research topic is What will a future without privacy look like?
we are living a world that every purchase we make, every place we travel, every word we say, is being recorded. We say that 21st century is the death of privacy. I like fact that genetic info helps us to detect potential disease, but what if your HR finds out that you have family heart disease history, would you be hired? would there be any insurance company still sell insurance to you? I like Facebook because it’s free to read everyone’s profile. Imagine that an organization can access to your list of Facebook friends and detect your two closest friends, or your boss, even your tutor. And then they create a facial fusion of these two in real time. Then the way of online ad would change. I love GPS, because it’s google map and city mapper which help me to find ways in London. But your phone can easily be tracked by your ex, parents, or criminals. There is one alternative for you called the Wave Bubble, GPS jammer. With a flip of the switch i’ll create a bubble around me that GPS signals can't get in. But its very much illegal because its jamming signals would go on for miles around me. Imagine, you're the captain of a ship trying to make your way through a thick fog and a passenger turns on a Wave Bubble. The consequence would be deadly. I'm so fascinated by this looming conflict, between privacy and the need for free market. In the future, you'll have a whole bag of GPS dot and you'll stick them on everything you own. you will never lost your key or wallet anymore. But will you be able to resist the temptation to track your boyfriend or girlfriend? Or turn on a Wave Bubble to protect your own privacy? The thing i wanna change is to prevent technology and the free market from killing our privacy. we are living a world that every purchase we make, every place we travel, every word we say, is being recorded. CCTV helps us to monitor criminals but we are under surveillance as well.
Imagine that an organization can access to your list of Facebook friends and detect your two closest friends, or your boss, even your tutor. And then they create a facial composite of these two in real time. Then this would happen. Remember Davinci code? in the real world the GPS dot is impossible. But thanks to the development of technology, the GPS dot will soon come true. There is one alternative for Pro.Landon called the Wave Bubble. With this you can create a bubble around you that GPS signals can't get in. But its very much illegal because its jamming signals would go on to jam innocent GPS receivers for miles around you. Imagine, for example, you're the captain of a ship trying to make your way through a thick fog and a passenger turns on a Wave Bubble. what will happen? I'm so fascinated by this looming conflict, between privacy and the need for free market. In the future, you'll have a whole bag of GPS dot and you'll stick them on everything you own.But will you be able to resist the temptation to track your fellow man? Or turn on a Wave Bubble to protect your own privacy? The thing i wanna change is to keep technology and the free market from killing our privacy. Todd Humphreys forecasts the near-future of geolocation when millimeter-accurate GPS "dots" will enable you to find pin-point locations, index-search your physical possessions ... or to track people without their knowledge. And the response to the sinister side of this technology may have unintended consequences of its own. (Filmed at TEDxAustin.)
What kind of data is your cell phone company collecting? Malte Spitz wasn’t too worried when he asked his operator in Germany to share information stored about him. Multiple unanswered requests and a lawsuit later, Spitz received 35,830 lines of code — a detailed, nearly minute-by-minute account of half a year of his life.
in the summer of 2006, the E.U. Commission tabled a directive. This directive [is] called Data Retention Directive. This directive says that each phone company in Europe,each Internet service company all over Europe, has to store a wide range of information about the users.Who calls whom? Who sends whom an email? Who sends whom a text message? And if you use your mobile phone, where you are. All this information is stored for at least six months, up to two years by your phone company or your Internet service provider. Jennifer Golbeck: The curly fry conundrum: Why social media “likes” say more than you might think4/23/2015 Do you like curly fries? Have you Liked them on Facebook? Watch this talk to find out the surprising things Facebook (and others) can guess about you from your random Likes and Shares. Computer scientist Jennifer Golbeck explains how this came about, how some applications of the technology are not so cute — and why she thinks we should return the control of information to its rightful owners.
The line between public and private has blurred in the past decade, both online and in real life, and Alessandro Acquisti is here to explain what this means and why it matters. In this thought-provoking, slightly chilling talk, he shares details of recent and ongoing research — including a project that shows how easy it is to match a photograph of a stranger with their sensitive personal information. What motivates you to share your personal information online? Alessandro Acquisti studies the behavioral economics of privacy (and information security) in social networks.
Minority Report science adviser and inventor John Underkoffler demos g-speak — the real-life version of the film's eye-popping, tai chi-meets-cyberspace computer interface. Is this how tomorrow's computers will be controlled?
Hooray for technology! It makes everything better for everyone!! Right? Well, no. When a new technology, like ebooks or health trackers, is only available to some people, it has unintended consequences for all of us. Jon Gosier, a TED Fellow and tech investor, calls out the idea of "trickle-down techonomics," and shares powerful examples of how new tech can make things actually worse if it's not equally distributed. As he says, "the real innovation is in finding ways to include everyone."
We have a responsibility to think about the outcomes of the technologies we build, especially as they increasingly control the world in which we live. In the late '90s, there was a big push for ethics in the world of investment and banking. I think in 2014, we're long overdue for a similar movement in the area of tech and technology. |
