謝謝分享接下來我們是一個對台的非常好的Session臺灣創意中美也邀請很多的國際獎師就是希望能夠打開臺灣創意員的眼界啟發創新的動能今天很高興我們有政府關於到現場跟我們一起關注這樣子的議題接下來的半小時我們由臺灣數位正為唐鳳來主持與今年所有的國際獎師也是創新獎的兩團隊進行對台我們即將出不一樣的火花那我們是不是先請好朋友請到臺台上那我們是邀請所有的獎師也來到臺前我們要歡迎JPJimmy Julie還有明天未來都能分享的我們Bolivarist的豐富創辦人Mr.Hobo跟Marco請來到臺上 Ladies first所以我們很高興來這裡並不是我們在臺灣創意員就像我們所有的工作而是在臺灣創意員在外面的社交新興我們看到很多主要的主題我們在臺灣創意員在臺灣在創新創意員在創新創意員在創新創意員並不是創新創意員還有一些東西所以首先謝謝你們所以我其實有幾個問題所以我們會從我的線上可能是我的網址然後是六個帳戶然後再到你但你必須加入每個人的訊息如果你覺得有什麼興趣或有更多的問題或是有我的問題請問是否可以與你合作是否可以與其他人合作我們就開始了我們只是談論我的網址這是一個我的想法因為我曾經去Doko寫書2002年後我曾經去過Siri但這一個想法並沒有好過因為我曾經去過Smargo很久了這只是一個想法要用網路來使用網路完全推出的想法所以你從社群上來你發現了如何在社群上在社群上對於大家的考慮和想法當中可能會行動這樣的話我們就會有很大的狂野我們會有很大的狂野我們會有很大的狂野我們會有很大的狂野我們還在使用零件所以我們還沒有發現我們知道那些人還在使用所有的零件但我們還沒有發現有不同的零件其實我們都會用零件而是那些人還在使用零件所以他們發現那些人那些人仍然在使用國際零件因為這些零件所以很簡單它有很多的挑戰尤其是使用GoogleGoogle是一個很棒的公司也有很多不同的零件所以我們在開始的時候我們看到它很簡單但它的挑戰是使用零件尤其是使用特別的零件使用零件使用了Google因為我們都很容易去解釋別人的問題如果我們能夠組織零件Google的問題然後再加上有我的問題那就是一個最重要的挑戰然後我們會把特朗普的特朗普和我們一起我們會在一起在一起的一段時間和他相信把特朗普的特朗普和特朗普的特朗普都很驚訝我們仍然很很奸詐所以這件事在那一刻我們要把特朗普組織零件是一件很重要的事我們都很感動我們很想想我們都很想想我們會想想我們會想想我們會想想我們會想想我們會想想我們會想想我們在聯合樂園We are just creating and plannersAnd the roles that areIn our musicSo we missed a lot of the steps of the processWe had to learn a lot of thingsHow do Buy a numberFor exampleHow to Connect Google :(다고會And many other challengesSo for that momentWe presented to the presidentThere was a developersAnd then Google came to us然後開啟網絡的頁面讓他們完全允許網絡的頁面這就是我現在的想法現在,我的想法是在特殊地區的特殊地區因為當我們把影片公開了我們並沒有發現網絡的答案來自特殊地區他們很興奮所以網絡的頁面跟很多人的網絡聯繫所以現在,他們有很特別的網絡聯繫的頁面同時同時在特殊地區的特殊地區我們也帶來不同的資料我們帶來的資料是在特殊地區我們帶來的資料人們在特殊地區特別是人們活在國家的地方所以,例如餐飲餐飲雞肉雞肉他們都在銷售所以他們可以怎麼銷售銷售的資料在市場上也有資料他們在那裡生活因為我們有我們的銷售機構在特殊地區但他們沒有用去查銷售機構的資料現在他們有這些資料跟他們有關所以,我的頁面有改變當時我們我們帶來那些人有這樣的想法直到現在現在正在發生的事情我們正在進行下一步的我的頁面將會成為全國的頁面可能會成為英文的頁面因為在英文和任何國際語言所以這是我們現在的頁面但正在發生的事情今天 excessivea概謾剛剛悄悄的你們這裡和他們在我和你們有關一個反映你那,那, there are two different challenges for my life.One of them is that we are not using machine learning in this process,because we are converting voices to data,and data goes to the Google Assistant and going back to the answer.And during that process inside our software,we don't know, for example, profiling the people to get them the best answer as possible.So that's one of the main challenges.And the other one is to bring the data as part of a project.So they can make it, obviously, free, and also accessible to the rest of Colombia.But there are different, one is more political, and the other one is more technical.Yeah, well, that they seem surely, like, you know, too successful to, like, crash the existing.These are good problems to have.Yeah, that's right.So any of you have any other questions to my line?Before we switch the subject.Anyone from the audience?What do you ask anything?There is something that I really like.You know, talking about,you always say that,especially when it comes to innovation,personally I really like the ideas that are based on common sense.And those ideas are regularly created,never, never come out with it.In my opinion, I'm not true marketing creative ideas.You know, what I like about my line is thatit seems like something that,that you can imagine how they did it.You know, his voice recognition is using all the data that he said.It's one of those things,and you were talking about something,it's one of the things that people think right away,how is it possible that no one did before.And that's the beauty of the good ideas.When you come out with something that is a good solution,very simple,you know,it's based on common sense,and not on something that only a scientistor like a high-level engineer can only develop.And that really helps to create like a marketing campaign.You know, it is about,in the end of the world,it's about building brands,and that's what those kinds of ideas are.You know, like a good solution,but a good solution also for,in this case, for the government,and for the people.So, another thing is,the idea is what makes it much better,even better.There's a great point,like if it makes sense intuitivelyfor the planet,for the people,then it is like automatically resonatingwith your target audience,kind of organically growthe branding as well.We were just talking about,you know,the edible six pack,being one of those obvious ideas,like in hindsight.But choose to be told,how did you initially get the message across,like how did you reach,did you reach for journalists,did you reach for the social media,opinion leaders,because the message itself is very simple,right?It's part of the sustainable development goals,and that everybody kind of alreadyidentified as important,but the fact that you have a plausiblesolution to adapt is new.So,how did you initially get the messageof everything?I think that the,it's good to explain the process behind,basically,these kind of things only happenwhen you have a true commitmentin the course.You know,this year it was part of thesustainable development goalsin the category that comes in theJuly,and among the900 entries,it was really easy to seethosecase studies that werejust meant to,that were created justto win a lot.You know,like,not with a true commitment.Standable products.You know,like,those ideas are,and it's really easy to see,because some of them aregood solutions.There were,for example,a lot of,like,a crazy amount of entriesin gender equality,for example,because obviously it's a trend,and I'm sure that a lot ofcreates think that's an easy wayto win awards.And not that much in,for example,the hunger,you know,the zero hunger.That doesn't make sense,in myopinion,because there are so many runs,food brands,and they will bereleasing to Cambodia withAEA,for that sustainable world.But my point is thatthis idea started with atrue commitment.You know,like,when I sent him the firsttext message,it was becauseI was thinking aboutsolutions to avoid plastic.It wasn't about coming upwith an idea to win awards.It wasabout finding a real solution.Then the next step was tofind the perfect partnerfor it.And in theprevious session,my nationseveral used to worksome years ago,I did a lot of campaignsfor corona,and coronawould be a perfectclient for this,you know,to build their brandaround the oceanand find your reachand stuff.And wewere very clear aboutthe point that it should beabout,you know,it should be a campaignfor a small building,for an underdog,a challenge that someonecanchallenge the big guys,can challenge thegovernments,because thatwould be a way,is a way toencourage people to support usand to get all the pressure.Especially,and crackrollers are already acommunity,right?So it'salready a very tightlyneeded communitybetween them.So it wasalso another way to saywell,let's tap intothe community is alreadyorganized,and that couldwork at the underdog.Andespecially crackrollersandsoulwater breweriesfrom Florida,thattarget our serversand phishing up.So itwas a perfecttrap,you know,likecrackrollers.Sothen it was really easyto start,you know,likeuniting the fire,becausenot that easy,but itwork.We didn'thave any media,we aresmall agency,you know,likeindependent agency.Youknow,always do,we don'thave a PR team behindPR agency.So it wastwo of us,and reallythe director,writingone by one,likeemails.Wefirst,like,I'm writinglist of media.Likewe want toyou're writingemails?Yeah,writingemails one by one.Weselected the,firstwe selected thereach.Thenwewas a,aspecific editorwrites about sustainabilityor ocean conservacyor whatever it is against plastic.And we send one by one65emails,60 plus60 something.Emailsand hey,Emily,welove your article about thetortals in the Caribbean Ocean.Please check this video,thatwe think that will be interesting and tellthe way you think it will sound.Weare then adding one by oneand they answer right awayand they publish,you know,likethe case study.And in five days,it became the mostwilded campaign,theroving advertisinghistory.Sothat was the beginning of theprocess,right away,you know,likea lot of crapways,and even the big onesreach out to us.Andthat's the story of thelast two years.Andwe are still developing alot of things and growing andinvesting a lot of moneybut that is somethingthat we feel really,reallywell done.But it sounds greatso first,have a purposedriven,like mission and notsettle for,you know,onea word or another wordbut really make it a mission andthen find people who share the same mission.And then,what I was sayingin a very common sense,you know,likethere were six paringsis another example of the same thingthat was telling me about my life.And the beginning wasignorant enough tothink that thesolution would be tobe able to createthe six paringsby using combo,you know,likeCV.Because I havecombos as well,and I saidit's as easy as makingsix coals,and that's it.And it will bethe perfect food for fish.Then we realizethat it would never work.You know,likeI will not be resistant enoughonce you take the sea withfrom the ocean.Itgets right,and it will be really easyto rate.Andon top of that,one canwill,you know,like fit animalsbut at the same timewe will steal their food from the ocean.So it didn't make sense.Buttheessence of the idea was simplecommon sense.Instead of killing themwe feed them.Wesew it,we bow downwe chew our cane,wewhatever it is,ediblebiodegradablecompostable,resistant enoughto hold the cans.Butthat was the idea.You know,it's somethingthat fishes can eat and don't kill them.OK,that's it.It'scommon sense,exactly.So it really is a powerfulmessage.So aboutyour project,which we just heardabout,are there anything youwould like to share aboutthe impactthat you wish tomake in the midst to the longterm?And more,you know,howdo you frame your purposeto people who just,youknow,hear about this incommon sense?Butthe first timewas the follow-up message.So I mentioned ita little bit during thepresentation,but the literacyrate for the visually impairedwas very sharp.Because when wefirst developed a watch,we thoughtthat everyone could read at night.But it turned out that90%didn't havethe opportunity,didn'thavemakes to learnto learn frail.Andwhen I visit like developingcultures,like India.And youreally go to those schoolsand organizations.Theproblem is thatyes,that's expensive,butit's alsoit's alsobecause the governmenthas been continuouslysubstituting these productswhen there's no subsidy,peopledon't movethemselves.And soour main objectivewhen we do visit different countrieslike for example,I'm here inTaiwan.So it's tofirst,we have to figure outis there like a schemeor a like asubstitute program that wecan introduce our product through.For example,in Korea,thethoughtwatch is already enlistedin the subsidizedcategories.So if youhave a certain income,thevisually impaired people,they can get the productjust like a small amountof price.Butas a Korean startup,it'svery difficult to do thatwithout leavingpeople like you.Soit's definitelya big opportunity for meto have come hereat this moment,tellingthe situation because not alot of people.We evendidn't know aboutthe literacy rate.And that's why wemade the document to addressour midterm.We're asking aboutmid to long term goals.Ourmidtermis to bring up the literacy rateto 30% and in the long termbecause right now it's 10%in developed countries like theUS and UK.But if youreally go to developing countries,it'slike less than 2%.And so in the longterm,we want to eradicatethe literacy country.Soand that's,I thinkas very importantfor our survival,as wellas the greater goodand happiness,everyone.DefinitelyI mean,all the countriescommitted to eliminateliteracy by 2030,sowe would better startexplanationally.Do youhave anything to add to the message?Well,in 2016when I met that first time,I wasfirst of all very shocked thatfor the last 40 yearsthe blind peoplehave not get benefited out ofthe technology project that weare using our smartphone everyday.And they wereusing this kind of old machinevery big.Andit's like a $5,000like she presented,very expensive.AndI was secondly very shockedin Korean market specificallythatwe cannot buyif we are not enrolledto the government substrate.Sothere are a lot of legalproblems either,you know.Andthen the third problem,the thirdissue,I was really shocked was thata lot of people arelosing their sight when theyare like a later,you know,accident.And whenwe are getting old,like it'sit's like our story,ourself,you know,when I'm getting50 years old,something happenedto my eyes,and I can lose my sightanytime,you know.It can't happento anybody,which I didn't know.Anda lot of people,likeshe said,who lost their sightright on after the first,theycannot need the brainsbecause it's pretty difficult toblown.There are not so manylike support from the governmentand society.Andespecially also the children,likealso studying in the school,elementary school,I was veryshocked that they cannot learn themathematics because the existing braindevice does not provide abotticker calculation plus andminus.And then,whereasour.pad is providingactive brain technology.Sochildren at the school and all theage,they can learn themathematics.And out of thisthey can learn the programming.Theycan be a development program rather than just being ablindkeeper can have a very simplejob.They cannot function as anormal person in the society.Soat the end,not becauseit's our product,it'sbecause there is no technologydevelopment support forthis people.Andwhat we think is that we reallyhave to,likeget in touch with this worldand then try to be moreinterested and support forthis problem.So this is whatI've actually personally andmaybe what you would actuallyhear this story first timethat there are just kind of newsand information,so this wouldbe something,you know,thelearning point that I've learned outof this,you know,case.Yeah,Ithink mathematics abovemaybe nine years old levelis a really a challengefor all the same peerpeople,like sending square rootsor fractions through my lineit's very,very difficult forformulas,and so some kind ofspatial display,I thinkis essential to bringthe literacy,to not justliteracy,but actuallynumeracy as well,which is part ofit's not just to eradicateliteracy,but also innumeracy as well.So I thinkthis is great.Becauseof time,we are going toask each of you to maybeshare anything that comesfrom your mind with the audiencehere.It could be aboutwhat you have heard or learnedduring your journeyto where you're working for goodor any tips or tricksthat you would like to sharewith fellow creatives or reallyanything really.So now let'sstart with you if it is okay withyou.Or if it's tooshare,I know this,we can startfrom the other way around.I thinkmy answer will be the shortestfrom the creative agency sidefrom the startup side.SoIt's okay.It's okay.It's in my position to give tipsor tricks,but what wedo is we look foropportunities.And whenthere is more people for itand when we do thatyou have to bea startup to bebrave about it.Becauseit's not easydoing that.So maybethe creative industry is likethat.I'm not sure.Butwhatever you guys are doingin korean we saywhiting.That'sa great message.I would saylike we see my lineand all these six packsand also that casein my case.Ithink thinking about it and wecan dream anything about it.Butmost of the times these dayswe're just executingrealizing it.Andbeing the brave one.It'sokay to fail.Andfirst of all we didn't knowhow to work with that.Andwe had a lot of struggles.Sometimeswe needed patients.Sometimesour internal peoplesaywhat I'm doing?Areyou doing the NGO?Andofcourse we didn't start.Becauseto get award in gun alliance.Inever thought about myself getting award in gun alliance and consecutivelyin innovation category2016-18.We didn'tdo it for the gloryor anything else.Buthowever I think being braveand then just do what youbelieve.Ithink this isreally important.It'sokay to fail.But try firstand see where you hadfor.That would be themessage from my side.That's agreat message.Wellthe country where I come fromis totally different than Koreaor America that youcome from.Even they areLatins like me.Butwhat we've seen is thatthere are still a lot of needsout there.There are a lot of issuesout there.And we believe in our agencythat our talent as acreative has not been onlyfocusing on building huge brandsinstead of putting exactlythat talent we have.It'spassion that we have fordoing a great spot in orderto bring new solutionsto all the things thathave been out therein our communities,inpeople's lives.Sometimesit sounds kind ofromantic.And I knowthat we have to pay the billsat the end.And I'm not talking aboutdoing just for fun.I'mtalking aboutgoing out therelooking for those opportunitiesthat Jimmy is saying.Andbring solutions fromthe core of your business.Ithink it's part of our duty ascreatives.We,for example,in the agency havethe same numbers of NGOswe support the same numbers of NGOsthat the same have that we have,theclient that we have.Not because wewant to win awards actually.Wehave won awards as aresult of ourwork that we have done.Ifyou go to the agency,youwill not see any wall full oflines or anything like that.Wejust,actually,we don't keep thelines,we just give it to theclient.They are the ones whowant to actually.Andbecause we don't want to befollow with this part ofthe industry.We like them,ofcourse.We like to win.It'spart ofthe fancy thingto be in here.Butas a result,we believeit has to be a consequence,notthe core of our business,orthe core of our passion.SoI willpush you to believe that ourintoxic has an enormous powerinto society.Formany years,advertising has beenseeing like the devil.Likewe brainwashing peopleto sell products and convince them to buy something that they don't care.Butin the other hand,withoutideas like these ones,likethe six pack,bringfrom the same kind ofpeople,butunderstandingthat there's somethinghappening.Right?Notonly in many,in many differentedges.So,that's probablywithin our business.Put allthe effort we are doing everysingle day,try to bringas much ideas as possibleto sell what is happening inour society.It's a greatmessage from thisexpect.Two verysingle things.Ourrelations is calledwe believers,and it's verystunned.When you truly believe insomething,with things,and peoplefollow.And that's kind of keyfor every single projectthat you do.If you truly believein something,you're like peoplefollow and support you.Andthat's kind of key.In connectionswith that,a newsuppressor,there was planning to usein the presentation tomorrow,butwhen it comes toignovation,there is asustainable growth,forexample.It's reallyimportant to have a true commitmentwith the cost.Becausethis is not aboutlions,it's aboutindependent polar values,it's aboutwales,it's aboutanimals,it's aboutthe food that we eat,it's aboutthe air that we breathe,it's aboutthe future generations.Soit's kind of key to have thatkind of commitment beforewe come up with an ideaand we hold it for the indexright after that.It's key.Two thingsto close.I would saythatabsolutely you needwhen you're messing around withinnovation,you really need tomake sure that you have thatcommitment and passion for thatsolution and that problem.Why?Becauseyou're going to face a lot ofchallenges,a lot offor those.And thosechallenges,when you surpass themyou're going to make your ideabetter.An examplefor us was,the initial idea wasto make ergo 6 black greens out ofseaweed.Andthe second thing that was veryimportant is you really need to behumble,right?Humble to knowthatonly with people in youragencyis not going to be enoughyou're going to have to reach out topeople that know more about thesubject than you do.That you respect themand that you trust them.Becausethat person that we put in,who is anindustrial engineer,heactually pointed us to thethinking that seaweed wasprobably not the best materialbut there were others.And thosematerials could be the ones thatis actually used to produce the beer.Youknow,some of the materials that we useare wheat and barbeque.Thatyou're going to make your ideabetter.Right?Somaking sure that you have that passionthat commitmentto goafter the hobosis reallycritical because you're going tohave many and they're going tomake your idea better.And thesecond one,truthfully be veryhumble,humble that you are notgoing to find the answer and theexecution and the solution byyourself.Find the people that youtrust,find the people that are asand make them common board tomake sure that you can create thisexecution and become part of thatsolution.And hopefullypartners in real life.The 27year old engineer that we foundin Mexico that wasstarting to toy around withthesematerials.Todayhe's 30 and he is theChief Operating Officer ofEdible Six Pack Green,thecompany.Right?And we'repartners with him and hiscompany and another group ofpeople that we reached outare on to people that knew moreabout this specific topicand could bring our idea tolife.And that is very,veryimportant.Let's have aquestion for you.Yes.Theprocess,the maximumgoal is to do somethingthat is good enoughthat in the endnot like the governmentssupported withloss or something like that inour case,if at somepoint governmentsdecide to go againstplastic in a lawour problem will bemuch bigger.Sowhat's your message,youradvice,or thecreative?What's the best wayto make that thing happen?What do we need to do?I cannot speak for othergovernments in the world.I can obviously speak forsome people.Soactually,you knowrecently,the Taiwanese governmentdecided to banthe use of the inhouseuse of plastic strawsfor a very nationalidentity drink,the bubble tea.And basically,itreally creates a lot ofdiscussion about alternativematerials.There's some seaweedsthere aswell.And also peoplediscover that if you use anoodle,it can last a couplehours before swallowing.Wehave a lot of very innovativematerials just being thought.Ofcourse,the traditional solution isjust a stainless steel straw.Butanyway,there's just motivatedpeople to think.But theoriginal push for this banactually graduate thatto take outand inhouse first,but thentake out a plastic useis a e-petition,becauseif there's more than 5,000people to counter signdialyse signature,theministries would have torespond.And if itencourages many differentministries,like in this casewith the ministry around environment,abouteconomy,and even transportationand things like that,thenthe digital ministry,in chargeof such innovation,that's beingactually convenes the meeting withthe petitioner and all theidea that are a commonvalue to everybody,because everyministry represent a different setof positions,and it's very importantthat all their stakeholders see wheretheir stake code stakes are,and alsofigure out some common values thatwe can then make into innovationsthat don't leave anyone behind,thatsatisfies,we call it peritoimprovement,that doesn't sacrificeanyone's values.And sowhen we meet the petitioner,whopetitioned for this graduate banshe's only like 15 years upa senior highschooler,and it's a civicassignment by the civicsteacher.It's like theteacher challenged everybodywho are 15 years out inthe class to find somemessage that you think willresonate with 5,000 people andmake it a national petitioner.AndI think this is a really goodnot just a marketing thing,becauseif you joined thepetitioner,of course we were going tospread the message,but after wefigured out a gradual plan toreduce place likewise and so on,wenow have advocates who can justspeak for this message,becausepeople feel that they co-createdthe policy themselves.It is notsomething that the government imposedon them,but rather people fromvarious different industries committedto this coordinated action and say,youknow,if we are in this together,wecan do the innovation together.I thinkwe can facilitate and bringpeople's values together intosomething that is sustainable.Soif you want to start a petitionor a referendum,even inSaiwanwe have all thedirect democratic tools to dothat,but that's just fornow on,and we're activelyexporting these sorts andtechnologies to other governmentsas well.So they see internet asnot as a cacophony,but alsosomething that people canfinding,in our case,it wasfinding that common publicenemy,the plastic ringthat everyone had seen inthe photo of the turtle with theplastic ring around deformingthe body,and all of asuddenly there was a solutionthat seemed really plausibleand common sense,andwe were very open at thebeginning that this was anopportunity that could happen.Fromthat initial text to when weread the first prototype,it waseight weeks,but from those eightweeks of the first prototype,tothe mass scale of thedegosixback ring,it tookthree years,right?Butwhat was good is that weshowed people who were opento say,there is anopportunity,this can happen,andthen they're willing to give you a chanceif you're open about it.Yes,that'sto me,interviewing throughtransparency,and also earlyparticipation,and humor,let's sayvery importantly.So please give nur observer speakers a round of applause.Andthank you all,foryour congratulations.Thank you.謝謝、謝謝這位 沈國語 levelers speaker.Well,thenwe shall begin on stage.那我們各位請 как can we have all speakersand Audrey and together to have apoto together on stage.OK?Sowe will we might

Hi everybody this is Chloe at Spokartel. Today we're doing a staff review on a Maverick glass piece. Here we have the Chubby inline percolated water pipe. You have the white accent on both the lip and the base. It has an 18 millimeter female joint so it comes with an 18 millimeter male gyro bowl. You can use it with concentrates but the accessory that comes with it makes it for gyros. You have the Chubby inline perk right here. Water test it so you guys can check it out. It's really nice. It offers a lot of great filtration. The bent neck is awesome because then you don't have any splash back. But it's scientific glass. It's really thick. It's durable. It's small. I love all my pieces to be small. For the most part my entire collection is small. I'm small. My house is small. It's all small. So it's really great. It fits in well with the rest of my my little collection at home. But if you're interested in this piece you're more than welcome to check out our website and subscribe below. Goodbye. Hi everybody. This is Chloe at Smoke Cartel. We're doing a staff review today on a Maverick glass piece.  Let me start again. Please.


The Cavalcade of America, starring Wano Hernandez, presented by the DuPont Company, makers of better things for better living through chemistry. Cavalcade's play tonight, The Burning Bush, is the story of a Negro who rose from a slave cabin to America's Hall of Fame, Booker T. Washington. Our drama is adapted from his autobiography Up from Slavery. Our star is Wano Hernandez, who has just scored a personal success in the Broadway production, Set My People Free. Now, The Burning Bush on the DuPont Cavalcade of America, starring Wano Hernandez as Booker T. Washington. I was born a slave, and I believe my childhood was like that of most slaves. I don't remember being cruelly treated, nor do I remember ever having time for play. I worked, cleaning the yard, taking water to the men in the field, carrying corn to the mill to be ground. But there was one task I enjoyed. Sometimes I was sent to the schoolhouse with young Missy to carry her books. Boy, what you doing hanging around that schoolhouse door? Just looking. Look at what? I wish I could go to school.   So I learned to hush my mouth. But I listened, and I can remember a great deal of talk about a war going on, and the grown-up slaves used to whisper that they were fighting about us. Then, early one morning, Booker, Booker Child, wake up. Yeah? We'll get some breakfast by and by.  What? All the time, askin' why. Talkin' and askin' how come? We got work to do, Child. If we run away, they'll catch us more. We're gonna catch nobody, no more, Child. Soldier man come last night and say, colored folks are free now. Old Mrs. K, make her stay here no more. My mother was telling the truth. She didn't know why she was going away, or where. She had no understanding of her freedom, nor did most of us. I knew no one of my race, then, who could read or write. And yet, all these people, my people, were called upon now to assume all the responsibilities of the modern world. But let no one get the notion that the slaves didn't walk freedom. I never saw one who wouldn't give his life to be free. The place we went to was a little town in West Virginia called Maldon. I lived there for several years, working in the mines. And then, one day, I applied for work at the home of Mrs. Ruffner, a Yankee lady. Well, boy, you're certainly a sight, I must say. I don't suppose it's your fault. You've been working in the coal mines, haven't you? Yes, and the soft furnace. You're working with the easy here. There'll be the cleaning to help with, and the yard, and coal for the grapes, and the cows. Oh, uh... What's the matter, boy? I thought, ma'am, maybe I could get some time to school. Well, did I say you wouldn't? If I hire you, that is. You get your work done and do it well, and always be honest with me and tell the truth, and we'll see about school. What's your name, boy? Booker, ma'am. Booker? That's an odd name. Booker what? You'll need two names, Booker, if you're going to school. A Christian name and a family name. My name? What was my name? Or rather, what was my other name? Free people needed two names, it seems. But colored people in the South had been known simply as Tom, or Betsy, or Booker. Sometimes a colored man would take the name of his white owner, and he'd be Tom Hatcher, or maybe Hatcher's Tom. But that didn't seem right now. I had to choose a name for myself. I thought desperately as I stood there before Mrs. Ruffner, and suddenly I said, Booker? Washington, ma'am. Booker T. Washington. I learned a lot of things from Mrs. Ruffner besides my name, to work with my hands to dress neatly and to use a toothbrush. But in the infrequent hours of school, the nights of study in my attic room, I learned not much. So in the fall of 1872, I made my way somehow over the 500 or so miles from Malden to Hampton, Virginia, and presented myself at the Hampton Institute, a newly founded school for Negroes. Hello there. My name is Ernest Weston. Hello, I'm Booker Washington.  Well, I don't know. I'm waiting to see General Armstrong. I haven't seen him myself yet, but I'm sure it's going to be all right for me. I had my tuition money plus a certain amount in excess for extra books and clothing, and I already have something of a foundation in Latin and Greek. I'm finding Latin very enjoyable, aren't you? Well, I haven't studied it. Haven't you? Oh, well, a Greek alarm. I'm Ms. Calorium. What? That's Latin. I'm taking it, and you will be taking it up next year. I'm very interested in mathematics, too. I had quite a lot of tutoring in it. A gentleman from Baltimore. Booker Washington. Yes, ma'am? General Armstrong is ready to see you now. Hampton Institute was headed by General Samuel C. Armstrong, the noblest, rarest human being it's ever been my privilege to meet. Booker T. Washington. Yes, sir? Sit down. Thank you. Washington, you bear one of the greatest, perhaps the greatest name our country has known. What do you want to do with it? What do you want to do with your life? Well, I want to learn, sir. Learn what? Well, what do you want to learn, Booker? Well, sir, I thought, well, I'm not sure. But, well, Latin, Greek, and algebra, and calculus, and astronomy, and medicine, and jurisprudence. Isn't that so? Well, is it wrong to want to learn those things, sir? Not wrong, Washington. But I'm wondering if Hampton is the place for you. I don't know. Oh, please, sir, please, sir. I've worked, and I saved my money. And my mother worked, too. And my brother is helping me out with what he makes in the coal mine. And the day before, I left almost every one of my friends. They came around to help me as much as they could with a nickel or a quarter or a handkerchief because they wanted to be proud of me. I thought about it, and I've dreamed about it for three years now, Mr. General Armstrong. And now you tell me, now you say you don't want me. No, Booker. That's not what I'd say. General Armstrong, I can't find a- oh, I beg your pardon. All right, Miss Mackie. What is it?  There's so much to do, and I can't find anyone to help clean them. I'm very sorry to bother you, but- All right, Miss Mackie. I expect we'll handle the situation somehow. I'll be good. Thank you, sir. General Armstrong, I'll do the sweeping for you. I worked for a lady back in Maldon, sir. I can sweep fine. You didn't work hard and come all this way to Hampton just to take a broom in your hands again, did you? No, sir. Well, then why did you make your offer? You think for one minute that you'll curry favor with me? Oh, no, no, no, no, sir. I figure if I want to learn and study in these classrooms, I should be willing to help keep them clean. That's a good answer, Booker. I think that's the only good answer. I want to help my people, sir. That's what I want more than anything else. But before I help anybody else, I have to learn and help myself. Isn't that right? That's right, Booker. I guess you'll do to enter this institution. You were listening to the burning bush, starring Wano Hernandez as Booker T. Washington on the cavalcade of America, sponsored by the DuPont Company, makers of better things for better living through chemistry.  For the next nine years, Hampton Institute was very much a part of my life. I graduated, and after an interval of teaching at Maldon, General Armstrong took me on his staff. And then, one morning in 1881, the general called me into his office. Booker, I received a letter from some gentleman in Alabama who want to start a normal school for colored people in Tuskegee. They've asked me to recommend someone to take charge. Do you think you could fill the position? Aye, sir. That's right. Well, won't they want a white man, sir? I think they'll accept my recommendation. Do you think you can fill the place? Well, I'd like very much to try, sir. Had I known what faced me at Tuskegee, I should hardly have been so confident. The state legislature had granted a small appropriation for teacher salaries. But there was no provision whatsoever for securing land, buildings, or books. To build a whole school, we had only the few hundred dollars which had been raised by the citizens' committee of Tuskegee. Good morning, friend. Morning. I wonder if you could tell me how to get to the old plantation house. They said it was somewhere on this road. There's a little road leads right down there. Oh, it's so choked up. Can't hardly see it. Well, maybe you would show it to me. Yes, sir. You'd teach a man from time? Yes. I've heard there's a chance we might be able to get the place for our school. I walked out to take a look at it. No, no. That old place is far too north to India. Grandpa? Is that teacher man from town, Carrie?  Oh, good morning, Mr. Washington's the name, Miss. Carrie Samson, Mr. Washington. And this is my grandpa. Why'd be mighty glad to have you with us on this nothing but old-side meeting black-eyed bees. Well, there's nothing I'd like better, Carrie, if you're sure there's enough to spare. I'll get you some water, Mr. Washington. Oh, Grandpa, what you doing now? I'm fixing my clock. Isn't this a pretty clock, Mr. Washington? Yes, it's beautiful. But it don't run. And if it did, he wouldn't know how to tell time.   A man sells in that clock for $62, Mr. Washington. All the money we had in this whirling, it won't run even for one day. It's pretty. I ain't never had a gold clock before. Gold? Hmm. Man, tell him it was gold. They say colored folks got it right to all they want. If I want a gold clock, I'm going to have it. Why you have it, don't you? But we don't have a knife and fork for Mr. Washington to eat his food with. Oh, what you fussing about? Oh, Mr. Washington, I get tired of all this talk about what we're going to get and what we're going to have. Colored folks are going to be all these fine things they're saying, ride up the road in carriages and never wear nothing but silk. But all we got is this old cabin. Where I was born and where I'll die to. See if I don't. Well, I was born in a cabin, Carrie. The cabin that would make this one look like a palace. You, Mr. Washington? That's the trouble with us all, Carrie. We want to ride in carriages, but we don't want to learn how to make the carriages, or the harness, or the clothes to wear when they ride in it. Oh, I never had a chance to learn nothing, Mr. Washington. All I ever done was pick cotton and fetched water and split wood and mistened all this big talk about what's going to happen and never does. Have you ever been to school, Carrie? No, just once. I've been thinking, I'd like to come into your school in town. Only, there's nobody to care, Grandpa. Ain't nobody need care for me. Well, maybe we'll have the school out here, Carrie. So you could go to it and tend to things here too. A school out here? I hope so. That's why I came out today to look at the old plantation house. There's a chance we can buy it. Oh, I've been over there a lot of times, Mr. Washington. When we was little, we used to play over there and make believe there was ghosts in the house. It's got three full houses, an old stable, and a hen house. Only, there's all dirty and fallen down. Well, I'd like to see it, Carrie. Would you take me there? Oh, sure, Mr. Washington. We can go right now. All right, fine. You'd be good now, Grandpa, and don't eat nothing more. I don't want nothing more. But if I work so well and mourn this old clock, I'll get it to ruin. A little later, at that same plantation house, I addressed the first assembly of the students in Tuskegee Institute. Students and friends. We've all heard the old saying, you've made your bed, now you can lie in it. Pardon me. But here at the new Tuskegee Institute, we have to make a change in that saying. We have to build our beds before we can lie in them. We have here today nothing but these few old, tumbled-down buildings, a little food on credit allowed us by our good friends in town, a little money given to us by other friends, both here and in the north, and our own will to succeed. So I'm going to ask something of you, something more than is usually a good thing. Something of you, something more than is usually ask of men and women who are seeking knowledge. I am going to ask you not only to study and learn in your school, I'm asking you to help in the building of your school. I'm asking you to dig the ground and cut the timbers, and yes, even to dig clay and make bricks. If we want a school, we must build it for ourselves with our own bone and sinew and the strength of our heart and soul. Come in. What can I do for you? Mr. Washington, we've... Mr. Washington, the new students have appointed us as a committee to bring certain grievances to your attention. I see. How many of the students do you represent? Well, we... Most all of Mr. Washington, all the new ones have complaints to make. And we thought it was only fair to tell you about them right away now, Mr. Washington. Yes, that was the right thing to do. Mr. Washington, I... I didn't... We didn't come to this school to work like field hands and day laborers. And I didn't come into milk cows and ham tea towels. I want to be a school teacher. And you don't think that a teacher could ever be called on to milk a cow or a hematow? Well, I... Or do you know how to do all those things already? That's not why my parents worked and sacrificed to send me to school. No, my family neither. I came here to learn something, not to make hog pens and sweep floors. What we mean is... Well, Mr. Washington, my daddy came out from town yesterday and wanted to see my books. He wanted to know why I didn't have more books. How many books I had read through. And when he got here, I was out there on my knees, digging sweet potatoes. Your father is not an educated man, is he, Sam? No, Mr. Washington, he's not. He can't read, no sign is named. Then, like so many people, perhaps he puts too much importance in the reading of a book. The mere reading of one means nothing, unless it helps us in some way. Unless... How are gonna know, Mr. Washington, if I spend all my time digging sweet potatoes and sweeping floors? I don't think you will. You'll find we haven't arranged here, so there's a time for everything. We'll try to send you out of this school as educated men and women. But you'll also be men and women who can take care of yourselves, who can do whatever is needed to fit yourselves into the life of the community and the country.  The community you go into may not feel the need for Greek and Latin. Maybe it needs bricks and houses and wagons. If you can supply them, then maybe later there'll be a need for Greek and Latin. The man who is prepared to do something the world wants done at the right moment. That man will make his way, regardless of his race. What are you doing, Mr. Washington? Well, I think it's time for you all to get to your classes, and if you'll excuse me, this office looks a little untidy. I think I'd better do some sweeping. Foreign is my shepherd. I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restored my soul. Mr. Washington. Well, hello, Carrie. What is it? Oh, I'm sorry to disturb you, but I've been going over the books like you asked me to, and well, I just don't know how we're going to get through the rest of this year. Is that bad? We only made $17 from this month's vegetables and only $55 from the bricks we sold in town, and we still can't meet our bill by almost $200. Well, Carrie, don't worry about it. I think sometimes maybe it's not worth one little bit of all this work in trouble. Well, Carrie, don't say that.  Forget all about us. The school's gonna fail anyway. It's gonna fail. That will do, Carrie. I don't want to hear any more of that kind of talk.  Yes, sir. I'm sorry. Mr. Washington. Oh, come in, come in. It's all right. I, um... What's your name? I ain't got no real name, Mr. Washington. Just Hattie, just old Hattie. A homeless name I ever had. Well, sit down, Hattie. You're tired, aren't you? No, sir, I was all right. I'll come to bring you something, Mr. Washington. To bring me something? Yes, sir. I hear it tells how this school is having a hard time. I thought maybe these boys and girls ain't getting enough to eat. Oh, Hattie, it's not as bad as that. What I hear tells is, and I know what you're trying to do, Mr. Washington, I know you're trying to make better men and women for the colored race. Well, Hattie... I ain't got no money to give, but I got these eggs here. I've been saving up from my hands. They've been laying real good and I want you to take them. You take them. Oh, you, Mr. Washington. Hattie, do you remember the story of Moses in the burning bush? How, in a time of sorrow and pain, the Lord God appeared to Moses in the burning bush and said to him, I have seen the affliction of my people and I will deliver them into a good land. Well, Hattie, these are not really eggs. They are burning bush. There are rainbows in the sky, the lightning in the clouds, and the sign that says it's it's all been all right. It's been worth all the sweat and the toil and the struggle. Certainly, I'll take them, Hattie. They're the finest eggs I've ever seen. Booker T. Washington was right about those eggs. They were the sign. They symbolized the people's faith in the work he was trying to do. Under Booker T. Washington's presidency, Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute developed into the nation's leading exponent of industrial education for the Negro race. Today, at Booker T. Washington's birthplace in Franklin County, Virginia, his ideals and teachings are being perpetuated in the Booker T. Washington memorial. And as the inscription at the base of his statue at Tuskegee reads, he lifted the veil of ignorance from his people and pointed the way to progress through education and industry. Booker T.

Andrew Cuomo on Tuesday denied the findings of a five-month investigation by the state's Attorney General that found he sexually harassed multiple women. The investigation showed that Cuomo engaged in unwanted grouping, kissing and hugging and made inappropriate comments to a total of 11 women. Cuomo claims the facts are much different than what has been portrayed.  I am 63 years old. I've lived my entire adult life in public view. That is just not who I am, and that's not who I have ever been. There is one complaint that has been made that bothered me most. That was a complaint made by a young woman, Charlotte Bennett, who worked in my office. And it's important to me that you fully understand the situation. Charlotte worked in my office last year as an assistant. She was smart, talented and eager to learn. She identified herself to me as a survivor of sexual assault. She said that she came to work in my administration because of all the progress we had made in fighting sexual assault. She talked about the personal trauma that she endured and how she was handling it. I could see how it affected her. I could see her pain. People now ask me, why was I even talking to this young woman if I knew she was dealing with such issues? Why did I even engage with her? That is the obvious and fair question and one I have thought a lot about. Get notified about fresh news updates.


Good evening, this is Rafael from Hardware Sugar with an interesting review. We don't normally do cell phone reviews, however, I just ordered the S21 Ultra and I am saying goodbye to my Note 9. And because we are not a cell phone reviewing page, no, we do not have 20 extra cell phones in our closet, nor do we change our daily driver every month. I have religiously only used the Note 9 for two years and I can tell you right now that there is still potential for people to buy this phone, even though it's already 2021. So this is going to be a very lengthy review and I included timestamps in the links below. I was lucky enough to be able to take it around the world with me to all sorts of places, one of which was the Inca Trail where we took a three-day hike across the mountains of Peru in order to get to Machu Picchu upon sunrise. I took sunset photos in the middle of the ocean. I also recorded one of the largest glaciers slowly melting into the ocean. And of course, it's legit. It's easy to order, search for the software you need, add to cart, check out, and you're done with their payment options. No more than a minute, finished.

I took it with me to the Atacama Desert, which is the darkest place in the world, and we did stargazing, and I saw a satellite. I was able to track a satellite with my Note 9 and I'm hoping the footage comes out, but you could definitely see something moving. 2018 was also a very interesting period because we tore down our house and we needed to move to a condo and it was on like the 42nd floor, so we had some really great sunrise and sunsets for two years straight. It's also the cell phone that I use in order to document the house that my parents built. In truth, I have taken the Note 9 to almost every possible photographic and video setting I could imagine for the most part, really. However, as I'll talk about later in depth, there were some things about the camera which really irritated me. Also, I'm not a professional photographer and one of the great gauges of whether or not a cell phone camera is really great is if it can give you good photos and videos, even though you're not an expert. Manufacturers place a lot of focus on not just the hardware, but also the software involved in making sure you get really nice photos and videos. What follows are photos I have taken with the Galaxy Note 9 for you to assess if it is something you would want to invest in in 2021. Almost all the photos and videos were taken with the main camera except the occasional selfie which I took with the front-facing camera. If at any point you want to tap out and head on over to the other parts of the review, feel free to check out the timestamps in the description. Even if it is a three-year-old phone, the quality of the images speak for themselves. As Chase Jarvis once said, the best camera is the one you have.  Sit back, relax, and enjoy the show. 2019. And it's actually a flagship cell phone several months after it's been released. The Note 9 came out August 2018. That was literally five months after the release. So here's my tip. Do not get a flagship cell phone if it is older than three months. You're going to end up wasting money and feeling bad because the latest rendition of the flagship phone will be just coming around the corner. And Samsung releases two kinds of phones regularly every year. The S-series cell phone comes out usually in the beginning of the year and the Note 9 comes out around August of every year. However, we don't know if there's actually going to be a new note. I had to break my three-month rule because of how bad my battery life was on the iPhone 7 Plus. And so I just went in and got my Note 9 just before one of my trips. And so this after-action review is really about my relationship with the Note 9. How does it feel after two years? I say this because the Note 9 is still a great purchase in 2021 if you're looking to save because we're living in a COVID era and every little amount that saved really comes a long way. So if you don't need to upgrade to the latest flagship cell phone, don't worry about it because really the Note 9 is fantastic. In 2021, the Note 9 retails for US$350 or US$21,000. And if you're thinking of just skipping that and just going straight to the S21 Ultra, that costs US$1,200 or here in the Philippines, it's US$70,000. So if I like the Note 9 so much, why change it? I have a problem with my Note 9 which is that there seems to be a permanent form of fog at the camera lens and I need to brush it off every time I'm about to take a shot. And it's especially horrible when taking shots which have lights. You end up seeing these streaks of unnecessary god rays from just a light bulb and it's very distracting. And to be honest, it was never like this before. I noticed this problem around December 2019. The light rays are a noise which didn't exist prior and I can only imagine that maybe it's because I dropped the Note 9 multiple times, easily 30 times or more. But because of the clear case that I have, my case has completely protected my screen and really for me that is the most part. There are no, nothing shattered, there are no major scratches on the screen. It is almost brand new practically. It's only that irritating part about the camera lens. I'm another theory that I'm thinking about is maybe Walter actually entered the camera, never left. Like it's just stuck there. I have taken to the pool, I've taken to the beach. I would chalk up the camera problem to my own negligence because I haven't exactly treated it perfectly well. But nevertheless, the problem is clearly there. The overall design of the Note 9 has aged very well considering that it's almost going to be a three-year-old phone. It has thin bezels and it feels like you're holding a delicate shard of glass. I can feel the marriage of glass and metal just perfectly working together. To emphasize that this is not just a tool but actually a almost living form of art. And speaking about the bezels, I really dig that there are no weird camera cutouts of the Note 9. There is no iPhone lip which covers the top part of all of their recent phones. What takes me out of the viewing experience is when I see a punch-out hole or if I see the iPhone lip. Here, even though it's an older phone, it has a great screen and you are never taken out of the video experience because there's no break in video, okay? That's into my opinion, that's really how cell phones should be. The Note 9 is protected with Gorilla Glass 5 and aluminum frame. However, ever since day one, I've used a clear case from UAG. I dropped this at least three times on jagged granite steps along the Inca Trail. And here it is in almost pristine condition. The only thing that I could definitely see here is the wear and tear of where the fingerprint scanner is. One thing which other reviewers don't seem to cover is how a cell phone reacts to alcohol. I have been wiping down my cell phone with alcohol since March 2020. And it's already January 2021 and my phone screen is still impeccable. I was concerned that I would actually be destroying something. Even though Samsung came out and said that you can use alcohol on the screen, there is a rubbery feeling which encapsulates the screen which is really irritating. So actually, what I do is I place isopropyl alcohol and then after that I let it dry and then I wipe it down with just regular water to get rid of that rubbery sensation which I don't like. And so far, I don't see any problems whatsoever with the screen. It feels like brand new after the alcohol and water have dried up. With the release of the S21 Ultra, it is becoming clear that Samsung intends not to have SD card and headphone jack support for all their new and upcoming cell phones. The Note 9, however, still has both a micro SD card slot and a headphone jack. Now, would you actually be using that micro SD card slot? It depends because for me, I have the 128GB version of the Note 9 and I think it's already perfect as is. It's just really all the question about how often you transfer your files to your PC or to your hard drive because really, if you're just going to be taking photos for three years, yeah, most definitely, that's going to fill up really fast.  But no, I never did because I transferred my pictures and videos regularly and I sort them into my hard drive and folders. The headphone jack is very useful. I thought I wouldn't find it useful because I use AirPods. Yes, I use AirPods even though my phone is a Note 9. It's a carryover from when I was using an iPhone 7 Plus. And just to highlight, the AirPods work well enough. I'm the type of person who believes that wired is always better in terms of sound quality. Of course, it's not convenient and I rarely use earphones with wires. But I like to have the backup alternative because it uses up less battery for both your cell phone as well as your earphone. And I always have some degree of anxiety that the Bluetooth earphones won't sync every now and then. And so I always like having that backup. Now let's talk more about the curved screen. So the Note 9 has these really nice curves at the sides of the screen, which most YouTubers complain about. They complain that it leads to unnecessary pressing or poor palm rejection. Palm rejection is a fancy word of saying that you're resting one part of your hand on the phone. A small portion of your skin ends up pressing something which you don't intend to do. In a way, it leads to an overreaction in terms of response for the phone. I however do not agree. I don't agree because most people will actually get a case for their cell phone. And for a Note 9, I've had the same case ever since. I've never changed it. And it just has enough lip to protect the sides of the phone. Yet at the same time, you can still feel the curve. And might I say that the curve actually creates the premium finish, which sets it apart from other cell phones. In fact, it's interesting to note that the S21 and the S21 Plus are now flat cell phones. I feel like we're going backwards instead of forward. However, the S21 Ultra retains the curved edges precisely because even Samsung thinks that a curved edge is a more premium and a more unique finish. The case pretty much prevents unintentional pressing of the screen. The colors of the screen are rich and diverse. It really still is one of the best screens that you could have on a cell phone. One thing though that the Note 9 doesn't have yet is a high refresh rate. The Note 9 is still sporting 60 frames per second. While the S21 Ultra for instance can go up to 120 or even the S20 can go up to 120 frames per second. Now, what does that really mean to Apple users? What you're experiencing now with the latest iPhones are restricted to 60 frames per second. It feels like a buttery experience for you. But the moment you test anything with a high refresh rate that is above 60, you'll definitely notice it. My advice to anyone who's planning to buy the Note 9 now in 2021 is do not attempt to try out a phone that has 120 frames per second. Once you try a higher refresh rate phone for the first time, it's really very difficult to go back. But I could just imagine the paradigm shift that would be involved from moving from 60 to 120 frames per second. But again, this is not to detract from how great the Note 9 screen is. And if you've never experienced 120 frames per second, you won't know what I'm talking about. And for the most part, the Note 9 works very smooth. It's butterly nice. And for the most part, there's no problem. The user experience for the software-wise has not changed since I bought it two years ago. In fact, I most recently just updated the firmware for my phone while I was making this video. And still, no slowdown. So there's no lag, the movement is smooth. And overall, it doesn't feel like a three-year-old model phone. Much of that is thanks to good firmware updates and battery life. Even at two years old, I am still getting a battery life which lasts me for a full day without feeling concerned that I might need a power bank. I could easily still go eight hours with heavy use until I need a charge. It also has fast charging, and you can expect to have it up to at 50% within half an hour. To conclude, the Note 9 is a cheap and good-looking smartphone, which carries a beast of a camera even for 2021 standards. It may not have all the new bells and whistles, but it has all the things you need when you want to immortalize a memory. And I want to give a special shout-out to our top fans, IPX Addict, DeepRai Shun, John Ochia, Christian Espinosa, Mark Palania, and Asher Anima. Thanks guys, we really appreciate it.

So for me, I'm able to look myself in the mirror and say, nah, that ain't that no more.   They ain't gonna be real with me, nigga.  I'm just sayin', you know?


Hello, welcome to SuperCloud 3. This is our third installment of SuperCloud, our coverage where we talk about the next generation of cloud, I'm John Furrier, Dave Vellante. Dave, a third installment. We're doing these SuperClouds, we're going to have a big event maybe coming up. Great to see you. Hey, John, great to be here in Palo Alto, live in the studio. So this is security plus AI. This is a different focus on SuperCloud this year, this segment, security and AI, two big things going on together. You know, at 2021, John, you and I sort of lay down this concept of the SuperCloud. It was kind of interesting. It was sort of tongue-in-cheek at the time. We got a lot of heat for it. But then in last August, we did SuperCloud 1. It was really to define the concept, really try to flesh out the definition and test the validity of it, which we did. And then of course, this January, we kicked off SuperCloud 2, which was all about the practitioners. We had Walmart, we had Saks, we had Western Union and a number of others. It was all about sharing data across the cloud. And of course, this is the year of AI. So you got to talk about AI meets security.  I think we're going to have an AI component in every SuperCloud conversation. It's just accelerated onto the scene so big. It's changed the game, it's changed the makeup, even the conversation around the physical layer all the way up to the applications we've covered on our QBOD and many other conversations. And it's been very interesting how that's changed the cloud scale next-gen conversation because now you see the cloud players talking about GenAI, in addition to the higher level services, they've been adding on. So that's going to change the conversation. And again, this SuperCloud 3 continues the tradition momentum. We have great names, we have the co-founder of Cloudflare, Doug Merritt's going to keep opening Kino, he's going to come out of retirement. He's now the CEO of Aviatrix, a very new company position for the multi-cloud, multiple environment. We've got George Kurtz from Crowdstrike, Zscaler, VMware, Dell, Cisco, Snowflake, Laceworks, Octa, the list goes on and on. These are the industry leaders and practitioners coming in to talk about what this next generation is about. And it's not just about being an IT person with a vendor. SuperCloud's an environment now, Dave, where people are looking at their careers and saying, this is next generation IT, this is next generation data, this is next generation infrastructure, next generation cloud, next generation data, next generation applications. And people's careers are going to be involved in SuperCloud and we're going to unpack that this week. So SuperCloud is off the course all about taking advantage of the best of breed of services across clouds, creating that abstraction layer and simplifying the complex. And now you inject AI into the equation and it opens up a whole new realm of possibility. Almost to affirm, John, when we talk to organizations out there, whether they're buyers or sellers, virtually everybody's saying, well, we've been doing AI for a long, long time. And so one of the things that we like to do here in theCUBE is try to squint through, okay, what's really AI? What's machine learning? What's true AI? What's AI washing? I mean, everybody literally is using AI in some way, shape, or form. And then what's the right application for AI? We talked to Jeff Jonas last week and we said, look, if you're using generative AI and you want to get the same answer week after week, day after day and explainability, you're using it wrong. You should be using it for ideation and other things. Okay, so there's a lot. We're just getting started. There's so much more to open up. So today we're going to really dig into it today and tomorrow, the application of AI and security. I mean, I'm curious to know what people think. Who's going to ultimately benefit more from AI? Is it going to be the attackers or the defenders and how that's all going to play out? That's one of the many questions that we have today. And what's interesting too, in all the conversations we've had coming into this, it's the offense versus the defense. The offense meaning the adversaries are pushing hard. They're winning the game and everyone's playing defense. And so as the best offense, a better defense, you have to put more points on the board, as we say in football, all excellent, David. And the other thing is the growth side too. If you look at the market and I want to get your thoughts as we unpack this before we kick off is the growth side for enterprises and startups and the financial market says, who's got the right equation in the super cloud in this new market? You kind of have winners and losers. We kind of got a tailwind on one hand with AI and the super cloud. And you got a headwind with the old models of IT and technology. And you're seeing the capital market startups running out of runway. You got funding environments tight right now. And one hand you got great funding. On the other hand, you don't. So that's growth issue. How do you grow this market? Well, in, you know, pre the generative AI chat GPT the super cloud looked like a great opportunity and it still is for people. But the equation has now changed because to your earlier point, you had Amazon kind of in the lead with SageMaker and all of these other AI tools. And then Microsoft basically cut the line with the open AI deal that it did. And so it sort of bought its way into the lead. And of course you got Google and the whole code, code red thing. But the point is the, the hyperscalers have all dominated in the AI conversation. And they put a lot of investments in there. And he had other guys like Databricks and some other specialists like hugging face and anthropic sort of, you know bounce around, but the, but the hyperscalers have a lot of momentum in AI. We're going to show some data. You know, AI kind of during the pandemic was one of the top four in terms of spending momentum, momentum according to the ETR data. We'll show some of that a little later. And then it sort of died down, you know as the macroeconomic headwinds hit. Well, boy, it's back up into the right again. And, and so it, but the, but the positions have changed. You know, it was AWL, all tides are rising or rising all ships, but the positions have changed. AWS was kind of number one. Now it's like Microsoft and sort of narrative in the industry, AWS is playing a little defense and then going on the offense.  And so there's really interesting changing dynamics in the chess board. Yeah. And tomorrow we got a video exclusive with Matt Garmin who formerly ran EC2. So he knows his tech. He knows what's going on on the compute side. He's running sales and market for AWS. They have a master plan. We're going to hear from them. They're definitely still in the lead. No doubt about, they get the best cloud right now. Amazon is in the head. Azure's catching up. But are they heading AI? AI, they're, they're on their heels because they, they're losing the narrative battle. Microsoft absolutely destroying them. In my opinion, the PR side is no, no contest. I mean, they just with open AI, they've been surging ahead. Amazon's playing catch up and they're going to slowly chip away at it. But I think the market for the cloud we'll get into it later, but the market for the cloud for AI is coming. The builders are the coders right now. They're building the apps, the hosting providers, AKA the hardware, Amazon will probably kick into gear once we have a tsunami of real customers coming in. And I would say right now, not in revenue terms, but in mind share terms, I would say open AI is by far number one. And of course you've got Microsoft and open AI as you know, in bed together. So really those two have sort of catapulted themselves and believe, but as we said earlier, it's really early days and Amazon has a great story from silicon all the way up, you know, through the stack. Well, let's kick this off. Let's get into some of the data. I know you got some stuff to share on super cloud three to kick this off, to set the foundation as we get this agenda going. What's the analysis? What is the security plus AI story? So we have a data partner called Enterprise Technology Research. And if you bring up the, the slide that shows the sector positions here, this is their entire taxonomy. So it ranges from, you know, every sector from storage to servers. And you can see here on this slide, you could see that the, the, during the pandemic, there were four categories that were top in terms of spending momentum. So it's a measurement of the percent of customers that are spending more on a technology platform. So you had AI, containers, cloud and RPA. And you look at what's happened here. It sort of bottomed, hit the nadir in, in 2022. And then the month before chat GPT was announced that hit the bottom. And then all of a sudden it's shot up to the right. So AI is now number one. You can see cloud computing is still, you know, super high. Now look on the right here, you see information security. It's very penetrated. This, this horizontal axis is penetration in the market. So you can see security is highly penetrated. AI not so much, but the vertical axis is all spending momentum. And so now you've got AI meets security. So you have a big market that's mature and you got a new market that's immature and hot coming together to solve problems. Yeah. And, and we, and one thing about super clouds we said from the first edition of our session, now we're on our third, is data has been the consistent theme of all of our super clouds. Of course it's been, you know, multiple environments, but that abstraction layer across environments really is not just compute and workload, but it's data underneath it. At the end of the day, the security is a data problem. And you're starting to see kind of data fusion came up a lot in our pre conversations going at the event. And as you said, Dave, data and chat GPT showed the world that AI and generating AI capabilities will have an impact on the low hanging fruit for use cases and security. So, you know, I'm expecting that the security to accelerate on the platform side and in the point solutions as well, but mostly on the platform side with security. So another quick data point here that we can show you which is this ETR is a methodology called net score that just shows the granularity, essentially who's spending more, who's spending less. And so you can see here in this slide that the greens are spending more, the gray is flat spending, the reds are spending less. And you can see again, where AI bottomed an October of 2022 right before chat GPT and look at the line, that blue line is spending momentum up into the right, right after chat GPT is announced, that yellow line is market penetration again up into the right. So, you know, this data doesn't surprise you, but it does quantify the market impact and open AI is top of mind for everybody as is Microsoft. Of course, Google and Amazon, it's rising their penetration as well, even though the positions of the leaders have changed. It's funny, people have been calling it closed AI because open source has gotten so much momentum since open AI and chat GPT, a lot more open source modules and LLMs happening. So interesting, interesting dynamic there. What does that data tell you, what's your takeaway? So I think that people, you know, normally when you see markets enter a hype cycle, normally adoption and spending comes way after the hype, but it seems like with AI, the hype and the spending are aligned. I don't think I've ever seen that before. And so you've got the hype cycle and you've got people now, I think there's still a lot of experimentation, but people are rushing. It's like a gold rush. Wow, we're going to get cut out if we don't invest. It's interesting, they'll be covering digital transformation that buzz words, become cliche. It's now called business transformation, but if you believe that digital transformation is digitizing business in the world, then everything's data. And if everything's data, then you're going to have a data challenge. If you have a data challenge, AI helps solve that. So to me, I think the confluence of next generation cloud scale applications and generate AI is hit the lucky strike here. And I think that's a growth curve combined with a hype curve. So you got hype and growth at the same time, just the timing of the perfect storm of innovation. I mean, I've never seen anything like it. And you got the power plays with the cloud, fully available, full elasticity on resource. So if you got elasticity of resource, a robust developer environment with open source combined with now automation and generative AI, you have the perfect storm for innovation. This is the super cloud. This is why I like this multiple environment. We haven't gone through the intelligent edge. If you look at the industrial IoT market from critical infrastructure, Dave, to just wearables, you're going to have an edge that's going to completely be transformed by AI and data. So it's going to be very interesting to see how the scale of this takes off. So I want to give you one more data point. We have AI meets cloud security. So we cut the ETR data amongst 574 firms that are AI accounts. Okay, and we said, right, give us anybody with the mentions over a hundred and cross that with security. So the vertical axis here is spending momentum. The horizontal axis is penetration. That red dotted line is highly, highly elevated spending momentum. And you can see here, look at Microsoft up and to the right, as it always is in these things, but you got Zscaler, Octa, CrowdStrike and Palo Alto networks. All of those guys are coming on super cloud all above that 40% mark. And you see Cisco, which is quite a bit to the right, but doesn't have that spending momentum. John, we're going to have G2 Patel and Tom Gillison. They got some work to do, but it's still, they got a $4 billion business there. I got into a little kerfuffle with Keith Townsend during Cisco Live.  I guess they have a $4 billion security business. A quarter per year. But a billion dollar quarter, but they don't have the spending momentum of those others that we mentioned.  So a lot of the winners that you see here, and if you reduce that end to folks less than a hundred mentions, this chart becomes impossible to read because there's so many security vendors out there at such a crowded market. It's interesting, you know, we hear all kinds of hype.  If you're not a networking and security company, I don't think, or data company, you're not going to be in business. I think, you know, the network is the security. I think what a security company looks like is going to be extinguished soon. I think that's going to be a scene where everyone has to be a security company from day one. And think about it. I mean, Cisco, okay, four billion, but the network is secure. So let's, you know, we got Cloudflare coming in, talking about the network is security. The future lies with AI-enabled security and analysis from CrowdStrike. And, you know, and Cisco's got a golden opportunity. So I think from a revenue standpoint, yeah, they might be low, but network, data are two areas that are hot for security right now. One of the things I want to explore today and tomorrow is how people are using AI, how they're applying it. And what about generative AI? I mean, I see generative AI as a great way to get ideation as to how to hack a network.   And if so, how? Because it's generative. So the answers change, it hallucinates, you know, you hear all about that. So there are other forms of AI, I think that security companies and networking companies are applying, and I want to learn more about that, to really understand how practitioners can take advantage of it. Are they actually going to actually even see it? Is it going to be buried inside? Obviously they can use AI to help prioritize, you know, to help remediate, to help identify flaws in the network and their security, which is not up to date, et cetera, et cetera. So we want to dig into that a little bit and really learn where the value is for the customers. Yeah, and I'm interested in learning more about how security can be democratized, because right now, like data science in the early days, to do security really well, you got to be kind of alpha, you got to be totally peaked on the technology. You really can't kind of wade yourself into the shallow end of the pool here. You got to really know your stuff. You can't not know security from day one because the adversaries are strong. And then the application market's going to be interesting to watch how the applications and platforms emerge. So platforms versus tools always comes up, board level conversations, culture, security and data is going to be really interesting. I think the other thing that we really want to explore is this notion of zero trust. Everybody talks about it, it's the big buzzword. Every CISO is on a path, he or she to zero trust architecture, but it's hard, right? It's been a difficult journey. Why has it been so hard? And will AI make it easier and accelerate that journey? I don't even know what zero trust means these days. It means so many different things that'd be interesting to get the perspective. Okay, SuperCloud three, we've got a great lineup. Again, two days of wall-to-wall coverage with live performances coming into the studio here in Palo Alto, it's theCUBE Studios. I'm John Furrier, Dave Vellante. We're going to have ongoing coverage live here in Palo Alto. Stay with us for our next guest, Doug Merritt. Coming out of retirement, now the CEO of AVH is going to come on theCUBE and tell us what he's up to. Looking forward to talking to him.
