A critical examination of the technology in our lives - Kevin Shindel
today<00:00:05.799> I'd<00:00:05.960> like<00:00:06.080> to<00:00:06.200> talk<00:00:06.359> to<00:00:06.480> you<00:00:06.640> about<00:00:06.960> what
today I'd like to talk to you about what
today I'd like to talk to you about what
I<00:00:07.399> believe<00:00:07.640> is<00:00:07.759> a<00:00:07.919> critical<00:00:08.280> need<00:00:08.800> uh<00:00:08.920> that's
I believe is a critical need uh that's
I believe is a critical need uh that's
not<00:00:09.240> being<00:00:09.440> addressed<00:00:09.760> in<00:00:09.840> our<00:00:10.040> classrooms
not being addressed in our classrooms
not being addressed in our classrooms
and<00:00:11.000> that's<00:00:11.200> the<00:00:11.320> need<00:00:11.559> to<00:00:11.960> fundamentally<00:00:12.639> and
and that's the need to fundamentally and
and that's the need to fundamentally and
critically<00:00:13.240> explore<00:00:13.639> the<00:00:13.719> role<00:00:13.920> of
critically explore the role of
critically explore the role of
technology<00:00:14.839> and<00:00:14.960> the<00:00:15.040> role<00:00:15.240> that<00:00:15.400> technology
technology and the role that technology
technology and the role that technology
plays<00:00:16.119> in<00:00:16.240> our<00:00:16.480> lives<00:00:16.920> so<00:00:17.080> let's<00:00:17.320> begin<00:00:17.640> with
plays in our lives so let's begin with
plays in our lives so let's begin with
looking<00:00:18.080> at<00:00:18.279> Google<00:00:18.600> Glass<00:00:19.240> just<00:00:19.480> last<00:00:19.680> week
looking at Google Glass just last week
looking at Google Glass just last week
Google<00:00:20.279> announced<00:00:20.760> that<00:00:20.880> Google<00:00:21.160> Glass<00:00:21.400> will
Google announced that Google Glass will
Google announced that Google Glass will
be<00:00:21.720> available<00:00:22.240> to<00:00:22.560> everybody<00:00:23.119> next<00:00:23.359> year<00:00:24.160> and
be available to everybody next year and
be available to everybody next year and
I<00:00:24.359> think<00:00:24.519> this<00:00:24.680> raises<00:00:25.080> fundamental
I think this raises fundamental
I think this raises fundamental
questions<00:00:26.119> about<00:00:26.439> anonymity<00:00:27.000> and<00:00:27.240> privacy
questions about anonymity and privacy
questions about anonymity and privacy
you<00:00:27.960> can<00:00:28.160> imagine<00:00:28.840> if<00:00:29.080> if<00:00:29.199> not<00:00:29.400> today<00:00:29.679> C<00:00:30.199> very
you can imagine if if not today C very
you can imagine if if not today C very
soon<00:00:30.560> in<00:00:30.679> the<00:00:30.800> future<00:00:31.439> where<00:00:31.759> Google<00:00:32.399> uh<00:00:32.559> glass
soon in the future where Google uh glass
soon in the future where Google uh glass
could<00:00:33.160> interface<00:00:33.760> with<00:00:34.079> uh<00:00:34.200> Google's<00:00:34.600> face
could interface with uh Google's face
could interface with uh Google's face

recognition software and image
recognition software and image
recognition<00:00:36.760> software<00:00:37.640> uh<00:00:37.760> would<00:00:38.000> we<00:00:38.120> be<00:00:38.239> able
recognition software uh would we be able
recognition software uh would we be able
to<00:00:38.559> zoom<00:00:38.840> into<00:00:39.160> conversations<00:00:39.719> from<00:00:39.960> long
to zoom into conversations from long
to zoom into conversations from long
distances<00:00:41.120> uh<00:00:41.239> could<00:00:41.360> we<00:00:41.520> interface<00:00:41.960> that
distances uh could we interface that
distances uh could we interface that

with<00:00:44.719> lip<00:00:44.960> reading<00:00:45.280> software<00:00:46.079> so<00:00:46.520> what
with lip reading software so what
with lip reading software so what
mechanism<00:00:47.320> exists<00:00:47.680> to<00:00:47.879> fundamentally<00:00:48.559> ask<00:00:49.199> uh
mechanism exists to fundamentally ask uh
mechanism exists to fundamentally ask uh
these<00:00:49.559> questions<00:00:50.039> about<00:00:50.559> uh<00:00:50.719> is<00:00:51.039> is<00:00:51.360> Google
these questions about uh is is Google
these questions about uh is is Google
Glass<00:00:52.039> a<00:00:52.280> valuable<00:00:53.239> uh<00:00:53.440> product<00:00:54.120> uh<00:00:54.239> how<00:00:54.359> will
Glass a valuable uh product uh how will
Glass a valuable uh product uh how will
it<00:00:54.600> change<00:00:54.840> our<00:00:55.039> sensory<00:00:55.520> perception<00:00:56.000> and<00:00:56.239> and
it change our sensory perception and and
it change our sensory perception and and
our<00:00:56.559> cognitive<00:00:57.079> function<00:00:57.680> uh<00:00:57.760> you<00:00:57.879> could<00:00:58.000> ask
our cognitive function uh you could ask
our cognitive function uh you could ask
the<00:00:58.359> question<00:00:58.760> will<00:00:58.920> it<00:00:59.079> enhance<00:00:59.519> those
the question will it enhance those
the question will it enhance those
things<00:01:00.199> or<00:01:00.399> could<00:01:00.519> it<00:01:00.680> replace<00:01:01.120> them<00:01:01.600> Al
things or could it replace them Al

together<00:01:02.559> so<00:01:02.719> we<00:01:02.840> have<00:01:03.079> fundamental
together so we have fundamental
together so we have fundamental
questions<00:01:03.920> that<00:01:04.040> we<00:01:04.199> must<00:01:04.439> ask<00:01:04.920> and<00:01:05.040> for<00:01:05.199> that
questions that we must ask and for that
questions that we must ask and for that
we<00:01:05.479> may<00:01:05.640> look<00:01:05.799> at<00:01:06.000> a<00:01:06.159> guy<00:01:06.360> by<00:01:06.479> the<00:01:06.560> name<00:01:06.720> of<00:01:06.840> Ray

20,000 years of human progress now let's
20,000 years of human progress now let's
say<00:01:37.360> Mr<00:01:37.720> uh<00:01:37.880> Kur<00:01:38.600> is<00:01:38.920> is<00:01:39.119> is<00:01:39.439> 100%<00:01:39.880> wrong<00:01:40.079> and
say Mr uh Kur is is is 100% wrong and
say Mr uh Kur is is is 100% wrong and
it's<00:01:40.320> only<00:01:40.560> 10,000<00:01:41.200> years<00:01:41.479> of<00:01:41.720> of<00:01:41.880> scientific
it's only 10,000 years of of scientific
it's only 10,000 years of of scientific
progress<00:01:43.399> uh<00:01:43.560> does<00:01:43.759> that<00:01:43.880> mean<00:01:44.079> that<00:01:44.240> we<00:01:44.399> also
progress uh does that mean that we also
progress uh does that mean that we also
have<00:01:44.880> 10,000<00:01:45.520> years<00:01:46.040> of<00:01:46.280> social<00:01:46.680> change<00:01:47.560> uh
