You can go from no energy to, holy s**t, I have so much energy, like that. Simply because you're using the body, the way that the body is made to be used. Today, we're going to be talking about the nine ways to naturally have more energy. I'm going to give you some that are going to be decently obvious, but I'm going to give you some tips around how to make them better. And I'm going to give you some that are just going to be something you probably never thought of before. So the first one as how to have more energy is to get some sleep. Now you might be like, well, no s**t. Well, let's dive deeper into sleep. Sleep is obviously extremely important for your energy, but there's a couple of hacks that you can definitely have. Number one, your room should be as dark as possible when you sleep. You should figure out how much sleep you need. For me, it's about seven and a half to eight hours. I can sleep for 13 hours straight. If nobody wakes me up though, I just can sleep. But if I had to go too long, then I don't feel good. If I go too short, I don't feel good. So I've come to realize in my natural times about seven and a half to eight hours, which is common with people, right? Make sure your room is really dark. Usually it helps if you're colder as well. And one of the things that helps with sleep is making sure that you keep a very consistent time. You go to bed and you wake up at the exact same times every single night, every single morning, during the week, and also during the weekend. So it's very important to keep your circadian cycles exactly the same. And if you want to research more about circadian cycles and how to help with them, that is definitely one way to do it. Now, one thing that helps with that as well, everybody seems to want to wake up earlier. It's very simple to wake up earlier. Do you want to know how to do it? You just force yourself to wake up, let's say it's five o'clock, and you're like, but I'm a night owl. I went to bed at midnight. All you got to do is force yourself to wake up at five o'clock. You're going to be more tired that night. And you're naturally going to start to fall asleep. So if you wake up at five o'clock and five o'clock and five o'clock, no matter what, your body will change. It's circadian cycle and start to make you go to bed earlier. A lot of people think that they're night owls. Nobody's really a night owl. Very, very few, like one out of a hundred people out of studies have done and found that people are actually night owls. What happens is it's just the problem is that people are around too many screens. Too many screens, they are keeping themselves up. If you were to go, okay, when the sun sets, I'm going to read a book, try to keep yourself awake if that's what you did every single night. You're going to fall asleep. First thing is sleep. When you wake up, one way that's going to help you, when you break your sleep, if you've heard me talk about this before in my podcast, is to walk outside.  Second thing that you want to do to have more energy, which goes with number one, is to drink some caffeine if that's something that you're into. Now, the secret is to not drink caffeine within an hour of waking up because that's when your cortisol levels are really high. It's best to let your cortisol levels drop and then have caffeine about an hour to two hours after you wake up. So for those of you guys that have a lot of caffeine, this is a secret. Wait about an hour. Along with caffeine is to stop drinking caffeine at about noon if you really want to have good sleep and have more energy. If you want to have a whole lot of energy, you can stop drinking caffeine completely and eventually after about a month, your body will start creating its own energy. So caffeine is super important in this sense. Also, what type of caffeine you have. It's crazy. I didn't know there's so many different types of ways you can get caffeine. So there's coffee, which you could use, but I'm starting to drink less and less coffee over the past year and a half and I'm starting to go more towards tea. Tea I drink the most is called Yerba Mate. People always send me messages saying, Rob, what is that tea that you talk about? It's called Yerba Mate, Y-E-R-B-A-M-A-T-E. Yerba Mate, instead of dehydrating you like coffee does, it actually hydrates you and it's got a lot more nutrients inside of it as well. It's also got a lot of other stuff. When I was talking with Dr. Andrew Huberman, who is the neurobiologist out of Stanford, he told me he drinks because there's a lot of extra things that are benefits for your brain of actually taking Yerba Mate versus coffee. So tip number two, obviously, is caffeine. Tip number three, take some B12 if you want to. Now I'm not a doctor in a sort of way, so don't listen to anything that I say, but I take B12 sometimes throughout the day to get something natural without having this massive spike of caffeine and then a drop after. So B12 is something that definitely helps as well. Super simple. Tip number four, stop drinking so much alcohol. Actually, if you really want to help yourself out, stop drinking alcohol, period. If it's something that you could do. I very rarely drink alcohol, but this is something super interesting that happened over the past week. Last week was my girlfriend's birthday. We went out a couple times and I didn't even get drunk at all. I just had a couple glasses of wine and I wear this thing on my wrist when I go to sleep. It's called during the day, mostly throughout the entire day and then also when I sleep, it's called a whoop and it literally tracks your body the entire day and it tracks your recovery as well. Something really crazy happened. My recovery from having two glasses of wine completely plummeted even though I got more sleep. Three of the nights we went out and we had a couple of glasses of wine like her friends were in town and then we went to San Antonio where she's from and then I had two glasses of wine there. My recovery during sleep got destroyed from two glasses of wine. Alcohol stays in your system for up to 80 hours. That's over three days it will affect you. And so I always knew this, but I was like I'm gonna have a couple glasses of wine, no big deal. So on the days that I did not, the four nights that I did not drink the two glasses of wine, my recovery was around 90 to 94%, which means that I woke up and I had energy. I woke up and I felt good. I woke up and I immediately was like, cool, I can work out, no big deal. What happened was then I look at my whoop and I saw that every day that I drank, the night that I drank, my sleep was around a 31 to 35%, which means that I didn't feel anywhere near 100% those days. So if you want to have more energy, don't go home and drink a beer. Don't go home and have a glass of wine. For some of you guys like, but hold on glasses of wine are actually good for your heart. Well, just so you know, you can go back and listen to my interview that I did with Dr. David Sinclair, who was the head of longevity at Harvard, and he actually says that, I think it's Resvederal, I think is what it's called, the antioxidant that they found that's inside of wine, red wine, that they did a whole article and said, oh my gosh, this is so good for you. They've actually found it's very small amounts and it doesn't really do anything for you. That was just people over promoting that wine is good for you. It's not bad, bad, bad for you if you're gonna drink just one glass of wine, but what you have to realize is this. The thing about alcohol is that it will help you fall asleep easier, but it will make your sleep worse. And the reason why is because it changes your respiratory rate and it also changes your heart rate. The other thing that was interesting when I checked my recovery, every single night that I drank, my normal resting heart rate is about 50 to 55 beats per minute when I'm sleeping. It was literally up to 60 to 70 beats per minute just when I was sleeping after having alcohol, which means my heart rate went up 20 to 30% while I was sleeping. It's not a good thing to have your heart rate be up while you're sleeping. So if you want to have more energy, stop having a glass of wine, stop having a drink when you come home, stop having beer. It is destroying your sleep as well. Number five, put some music in your house. I'm really big. If you ever come over to my house, I'm really big on always playing music. There's always energy and vibration going through my house at all points in time. For me, and I don't know about you guys, I have favorite songs that just feel like they give me energy. And so one of the hacks that I find with a lot of people that make it super simple is just start putting on music that you like. Don't even put just background music. Put on music that you like throughout your house while you're driving, while you're at work, wherever you can listen to music, if you have favorite songs, start putting those favorite songs on. Have the vibrations go through your house. We're vibratory beings. We're constantly vibrating at all points in time. That's just what we do. If you look at us, we look like we're solid beings, but really what we are is we're just a vibrating piece of mass with 70 trillion cells that are constantly moving and vibrating as well. And so when you have energy and movement and music going through a room, your body's going to feel it. Your body's going to hear it. You're going to start singing along with it. You're going to start moving your body a little bit more. So a thing that I recommend is to put music on whenever you can have music on, especially if you can put on your favorite music. Tip number six, try something called breath work. There are many, many different types of breath work, but this is something that we do with our team every single morning. We have a team meeting every single morning all hands on deck. Everybody that's on our team comes in and we do breath work every single morning, guaranteed the very first thing that we do. There's multiple different types of breath work you can do. I'll give you three of them that I recommend. We've done all three of them with my team. They enjoy all of them at different times. One of them is called breath of fire. Breath of fire is where you breathe in and breathe out of your nose as fast as you can for as long as you can. And when you don't think you can do anymore, you just keep doing it. I like to put on music, of course, like I said, and I'll do breath of fire. So it's literally and I'll do it. Sometimes you get some snot flying out of your nose. No big deal. That's just part of the process. That will literally start to invigorate your body. That's breath of fire. Another one that we do is called Wim Hof. So Wim Hof, but we also do something a little bit separate. Another thing that I learned from Wim Hof. So it's 30 deep breaths in, but then on the 30th breath, you ready? Here's a secret. You breathe in as much you possibly can. Hold at the top and then force yourself to do as many push-ups as you possibly can. Before breathing again. This is something that I do. This is not a recommendation.  This is what I do. If you want to try it, you can try it. What I have found and here's what's crazy is if I want to just do push-ups right now, I can do about 40 push-ups in a row. Here's what's crazy. If I want to do the breathing exercise and then do my push-ups, I can get about 60, sometimes even more, without ever breathing again. And the reason why is because I'm over oxygenating my body, which is what your body needs and also your muscles need a lot of oxygen. So I'm over oxygenating my body and I'm doing these push-ups. I'm doing it to music and I'm pumping them out and I have literally a song that we listen to every single morning. It's called Strobe by Dead Mouse. We put it on, we just crank it out and we just do the push-up. We do the breathing and we do the push-ups. Every single time, that's the very first way that I start my morning. Before I ever have any coffee, any of that stuff, and I can literally feel my body light up with energy and I feel completely different. If I'm ever feeling drained throughout the day, I do one of these as well. And the third one I'm going to tell you, I don't know what they're called. I just call them skis.  So for those of you guys that are watching video, for those of you guys that aren't watching video, you can listen on the podcast.    And when you breathe out, your hands go below down to your waist. And it's best to stand up and you literally use your entire body as if you're skiing down a mountain and your hands are going up, you're going down. Your hands are going up, going down. When you breathe in, your hands go up.  Do this for two to three minutes straight with music blaring as well. You can go from no energy to holy s***. I have so much energy like that. Simply because you're using the body, the way that the body is made to be used. Super simple. So what was that again? Breath of fire. Or Wim Hoth. Or the skis. All of them are different. I use each of them, depending on what I'm doing. Try it out. I promise you, at some point in time, you're going to get a ton of energy from it. See if it works. See if it works. If you're on your phone, chilling on the couch, scrolling through Instagram, you're like, oh my gosh, I got to get up and do this thing, but I don't really feel like doing this thing.  Put on some music and I guarantee you it'll just rush energy into your body. Tip number seven, get outside. Take your shoes off, put your feet on the ground and go outside in the sun.  So I got to get him outside as soon as we wake up in the morning. First thing I do is I put some shorts on, I keep my shirt off and I walk outside barefoot and I keep my feet in the grass as long as I possibly can and get as much sun on my body as I possibly can. And like I told you, I look up at the sky, the blue in the sky and I try to get all of the reasons why I should be awake for my body to go, oh yeah, this is the time when Rob should be awake. The sun is now coming up, he's outside, his feet are on the grass, he's getting sun on his skin, he's looking at the blue inside so that means that the sky is, you know, obviously the sun is up, we should stop making melatonin. I'm trying to give my body all of the reasons why I'm supposed to be up right now. Get some sun on your skin. Also, with all of the stuff that's been happening with viruses and everything, vitamin D, which is what you get from the sun, is one of the things that kills the viruses the quickest, according to everybody is the people that have a lot of trouble with it tend to have vitamin D deficiencies and most people have vitamin D deficiencies. Get outside in the sun more, get as much of your skin to be able to, much sun to be able on your skin as possible, and I guarantee it'll help you. Number eight, exercise in the morning. It is a fact that the more that you exercise, your body will start to create more energy. You know, I look at one of my friends, my friend Amy, when she lived here, she doesn't live here anymore. When she lived here in Austin, she was doing like, God, she was doing like four to five cycling classes every single day and everyone was like, how does she have so much freaking energy? She has so much energy not because she was just blessed with energy. She has so much energy because she has literally, for years, told her body, this is what we do, this is what we do, this is what we do. And so when she doesn't go and do four cycling classes, she has the day off, of course she's got so much energy. Of course she can keep going. Of course she wants to party until late night because her body knows it needs to create lots of energy. If you've been in a cycle of not working out, not forcing your body to move, your body's learned that. You can make it relearn and make it start to create more energy. So work out in the morning or at least, even if it's not in the morning, just work out at some point in time and force your body to learn. It needs to create more energy. Your body is an amazing, adaptive piece of machinery. Force it to adapt the way that you want it to adapt. Last but not least is to drink more water and preferably drink spring water like this, if you're looking, drink spring water. Doesn't have to go through a filter. It's coming straight from the earth. It's also in a plastic, or not a plastic bottle, a glass bottle. You can do your own research on why plastic isn't good for you and how plastic raises your estrogen whether you're male or female. But if it comes from a glass bottle, usually ends up being a lot better for you as well. If it's spring water, ends up being a lot better for you as well. But just regardless, just drink more water. It's mind blowing to me how little water people drink considering that your body is 60 to 70% water. One of the things that they found is that most people when they're tired, the very first thing you should check is actually if you're dehydrated. Because a lot of times, the first thing to go down as soon as you're dehydrated is your energy. Your body runs off of water. If you don't feel like you have energy, maybe you should see if you've got enough water. Drink a lot more water and your body will actually start to filter out all the toxins. In the same time, it'll run more efficiently. Hey, thanks so much for watching this video. If you want to learn even more about Master Your Mind, click right here and watch this video as well. Uh-oh. I'm about to offend a whole lot of people. Here we go.


here the shea milker grabs a steel bar you are the bully if I saw you if I caught you doing that mate I'd wrap that pole around your bloody head hello everyone welcome to another video now just when you thought the dairy industry wasn't disgraceful enough with its you know forcible and pregnation baby stealing just exploitation and murder there was this that came out of recently out of a newspaper here called the newsroom now this was about a guy who was caught beating a cow or like he likes to say educating the cow so this was this is a news article here's one from last year it says this is a story Northland share milker who was secretly filmed allegedly violently and repeatedly hitting cows with various weapons including a steel pipe has pleaded not guilty to charges so he was facing six charges related to the ill treatment of animals so this is important here footage of the alleged abuse was covertly recorded by a farm animal advocacy group farm watch so basically they've left cameras on this guy's dairy farm and he's beating cows with poles and bars and if you see the the cows legs here in this photo here swollen this is one of the poles that he was hitting the animals with fast forward to this year July 6 2020 this was articles written cow beating footage has been thrown out of court what so hidden camera footage showing cows being beaten with a steel pipe was deemed unlawful in court but partially on the grounds that would encourage undercover filming in the future how ridiculous so here look Luke hit one cow in particular around the legs with a steel pipe so severely both legs were swollen and she struggled to walk now the judge has thrown out this this footage used to convict this guy or used in court for this guy because she said it was reasonable to infer that if encouraged this group could continue to gather evidence via trespass because they had trespassed and gathered the evidence illegally they couldn't expose another illegal act which is a worse illegal act which is bashing an innocent animal now how backwards is that so so you tell me that if there's a child being abused and you go and collect covert footage but you've trespassed to collect that covert footage you wouldn't use that footage in court how unjust how ridiculous the activists are doing the right thing and exposing a animal abuser and you know that the the evidence won't even be looked at in court it won't even be admissible it's just crazy the judge knows what's up I don't even understand how they let that happen you know so listen this the case summary documents show his explanation for the treatment was there were three cows in the herd that were grumpy bitches and he was sick to death of them kicking the out of him or other cows he said he faced two options send them to slaughter or educate them well you know what mate like if you didn't have like this massive herd of dairy cows you know pushing him around you know trying to herd them into milking parlours all the time plot close proximity then you wouldn't have issues like this so I mean educating them with a steel bar is taking it too far way too far I mean it seems like you're the one he needs to be educated mate the defendant accepted that he did not meet the minimum standard but somehow he had to educate the cows and that's how the animal kingdom works cows are bullies cows are not bullies they are gentle submissive animals and you're the bully you are the bully and I can't believe is using the animal kingdom to justify his actions like this is how the animal kingdom works well I tell you what else happens in the animal kingdom murder rape animals being eaten alive well fully conscious having their throats ripped out you know there's a lot of horrible things that happen in the animal kingdom and to say like imagine going to the judge like this is just be just just be ridiculous but imagine shooting someone in cold blood going to the judge or you know stabbing someone to death to death in cold blood eating a piece of their body like you know these serial killers have done cannibals and serial killers have done this then go to the judge you know this is what happens in the animal kingdom the animal kingdom is you know this is how it works it's a it's a very violent place in the animal kingdom so you're on it you know this is just how it is I don't know it's just crazy crazy and it's not even funny because like to claim the cows are bullies that's why you hit them with a pole just absolute insanity you're a bully should we hit you with a pole I don't know that's a question to ask so farm watch this is the footage the people who got the footage great work farm watch spokesperson Debbie Matthews said that the limp sentence was outrageous he got like what was his sentence let's have a look he received a fine of $3,000 plus $130 in court costs wow he didn't even get like a prison sentence or a suspended prison sentence or anything like that he just received a fine $3,000 a fine for beating someone Debbie Matthews from Farm Watch also said that if this doesn't warrant him being banned from working with animals what does we think the public will be disgusted with this outcome yeah like what do you guys think even the meat eaters what is what are the meat and dairy eaters think of this so that's what I want to know like what do you think about cows been beaten with poles I could almost guarantee you would be against that type of treatment I mean you might not be against slaughterhouses which is weird and bizarre if you think animals shouldn't be beaten with steel poles you should also oppose them being slaughtered I don't know like are you against the cows being hit with a with a pole to educate them well they've got some footage here we can play some of it if it's too graphic we'll have to censor it here the shea milk it grabs a steel bar oh there you go and smashes it around the cow's hind legs oh yeah that cow look like the cow look like they were being a real bully then to deserve that like I don't even know what this cow did to deserve to be beaten with a pole like you're the bully dude you are the bully if I saw you if I caught you doing that mate wrap that pole around your bloody head look at this he's he's painting the animals she's treating them with contempt he obviously doesn't treat them with the respect they're just milking machines to him bashing in with poles really funny really funny mate included those from former staff because who had been milking the hood alongside him had witnessed his anger being taken out on the cow's ah so it's training he's just training the cows I don't know yeah like I don't know what you think about that type of training through my eyes there was no reason for him to be beating those cows with that that pole the cows weren't attacking anyone there was no self-defense involved there was no reason for him to raise his hand to these cows maybe not being as submissive and you know cooperating with him as much as he's like it looks like it's just frustration he's been frustrated with these animals and he's just started beating them treating them with contempt and you know disrespect so what do you guys think in the comments section what do you guys think that this guy got off with a $3,000 fine they didn't use the footage in court because it was obtained illegally I feel like that's an injustice and because the judges rationale was that because it would encourage more people to obtain footage exposing cruelty illegally well you know why the hell would that be a problem why the hell was that a problem well maybe trespassing you could see as a problem with but if they're if they're going there with with a good reason with good reason to to expose cruelty I mean why would we wouldn't hold that standard for dogs if there's a dog locked in a car and it's a hot day we smashed a window we rescued the dog if you find out that there's you know dogs being treated cruelly you know you run an investigation if you find out that um you know there's children being abused and you have to take matters into your own hands because the police won't help you know taking some footage as evidence is a good idea I think these are good ideas yeah but to throw it out and then let him get off scot-free seems like an injustice that doesn't seem like justice has been served he's obviously shouldn't have animals in his care he should have got a way harsher sentence the the beatings with the pipe were just disgusting to say the least yeah the judge should have gave him a much harsher sentence even without taking that footage into account what do you guys think of that what are the dairy meat eaters think of this today they probably wouldn't allow this either I mean do you know you just can't avoid it I would just boycott dairy industry boycott animal agriculture completely and then you know for 100% this stuff isn't happening or you're not actually supporting this stuff the stuff's still gonna happen but you know this is whether or not you want to be supporting industries that are doing this to animals alright guys I'll see you on the next video what do you think about that leave your comments down below yeah disgusting or do you think it's acceptable I mean I doubt anyone thinks that's acceptable but you know go ahead leave your comments down below and I'll see you soon in the next video peace


So most of the time I recommend that people just brand their own name Because your name is the longest lasting brand You'll ever have in your life unless you change your last name, right? And so I've seen more people go from using company names To eventually over the years they say ah it's so much easier just to use my own name So then they start branding their own name when I say brand I mean, you know, that's where most people go to your website is your name or your company's name Of course, what's on the you know at the top of your newsletter and all you know your social media Following where you know are they looking for your company name looking for your name? so I've seen more Businesses that are mostly about personal brand go from a company name to a personal name And so that's what I recommend just kind of going with you if you're not if you're not really sure Just go with your name. It's it's long-lasting. I mean, that's how I do it I don't have a company name my name my company name business name legally just me now you the other thing though is You might want to have different programs in your business like Maybe a coaching program a membership site a pro an information product a Telesummit whatever this you might have different programs that you could brand with its own name And so even though your overall umbrella brand is your own name your different programs or services could have its own cool Name that represents the key benefit of that program or service and so Anyway, I hope this is helpful. I'll add some more information and examples in the notes of this video and Any questions? Let me know


All of our previous datasets came from Orange's dataset server. Remember, so far we've been using the datasets widget. We loaded the data, say on countries and their socioeconomic indices, and started off by checking it out on a data table. But what if I wanted to use some of my own data? As it turns out, Orange can't read tabular data from various sources, including Excel files. So, let's start out by constructing one such dataset. My spreadsheet will include some data on students. First, I add a column of names, let's say Jill, Anna, John, Stacy, Mike, and Fred. Next, I add a column with their age, gender, and eye color. And then, I add their times for a 100 meter run. Not that this data makes any sense, it's just an example of how to prepare a tabulated dataset for any machine learning. Now, I store the dataset I just created to the desktop in a file. Let's just call it fitness. Now, I open Orange and place a file widget on the Orange canvas. Like with other widgets, I use the right click to find this particular widget. Orange comes with some preloaded datasets that I can access from this widget, but right now we're interested in our fitness data. So, I click on the three dots button and find my Excel file. Here it is. The file widget reports on the data columns and shows the names of the features. Notice that Orange also detects the feature types. For instance, age is a numerical feature, as it stores numbers. The color of the eyes is categorical. Categorical and numerical features profile the students and we can use them, for instance, to compute distances. We can't do anything computationally with names, sort of textual meta features, though. Meta features provide additional information about the data instances, for example, to identify them in a scatter plot, but Orange doesn't use them in any modeling. As a side note, Orange does actually provide a way to analyze text in the text mining add-on, but I'll skip that for now and go back to our dataset. The first thing to do after loading the data is to check it out in a spreadsheet. Let's open it in data table. Here, we find our data just like we set it up in Excel. Let's say I don't need information on eye color. I can use the select columns widget and move the eyes from the list of features to the ignored box. Checking the data in a new data table, I indeed find no eye colors here. Good. The select columns widget is a great widget to manually edit the data domain and play with including and excluding features. We'll use it from time to time in our next videos. Moving on, I would now like to save my edited dataset. This can be easily achieved with the save data widget. I just click save as. Choose to save my data in an Excel file and rename the file to something like fitness no eyes, as creepy as that sounds. This file can also just go on my desktop for now. Taking a look at the file, I can double click it to view it in Excel. Here, notice that apart from the feature names, Orange also stored some extra data on the feature types in the second and third rows. This extra information can be toggled on or off in the save file widget. Great. Now we know how to repair some of our own data for Orange. And we also know how to export data from Orange. Note again that every time we repair our own datasets, it's just good practice to first check it out in data table. In my running example, I used Excel, but Orange also loads tab or comma separated datasets, as well as datasets in a bunch of other formats.


speakers all around getting an amazing sound experience all the way around on the top. It's crazy. This is 8K display. Here's the NHK. So, who are you? I'm from NHK and we exhibited 8K related technology over here. So, right here it says Super High Vision 22.2 multi-channel sound system. And there's a lot of speakers everywhere. Yes. 8K has two features. One is the 8K resolution which is 16 times as many pixels as the current HD. And another feature is the 22-butch channel sound. So, you can feel the three-dimensional sound system. So, can you explain a little bit the strategy of where you put the... You have top layer, middle layer, bottom layer. What is LFE? Yeah, LFE is located over here. Like Subwoofer? Yeah, yes. To support the lower frequency. And you want to have higher and low, but how do you record it? And how do you position the sound? Is it a choice or you copy the space over there? Yeah, we use the microphone directing various directions. And then we produce 32-much point sound. Because right here it sounds like the instrument is maybe in the corner. The other instrument in the other corner. If it's playing over there, then it's on the right. If it's playing over here, it's on the left. Lower. The whole thing is in the space. But how much content will be able to be recorded like this? You need to record with 22 microphones to make this? Yes, you don't need exactly 22 microphones. But we use many microphones directing many directions. So and then you later post-production you choose? Yes. In the post-production you can say let's put it back, let's put it up. Yep, yep. And you're launching this broadcasting solution? It's going to be launching in Japan? Yes, it's already launched the test broadcasting last year. And we will start the regular service next year. So is this the best sound system in the world? We believe so. It's not just about how many speakers, it's like you feel that you're there, right? Yep.  You feel you're there. Yes, there's more than 20 speakers over here, so you can feel like you are there. This is quite an ideal environment, but you can reproduce 22.2-multi-channel with less speakers also. Like a line of other speakers. So it's possible to make a surround with less speakers? Yes, yes. And it's still the same broadcasting system? Yes. Is it going to be HDMI 2.1? Or it should be part of the new specs of the HDMI connection, right? Yes, it is expected to be included in HDMI 2.1.


What's going on guys? It's your boy DPJ here today with another Destiny video now from day one in the Destiny universe. The feature to apply skins to your ghost was something that I think we all wanted and if you didn't have the special edition pre-order you were stuck with the plain old standard white little light. Now we all know it's basically a fact that when the taking king comes out we will all indeed be able to obtain ghost skins for our ghosts but that is not all these ghost skins will be more than just a paint job they will offer some neat perks according to a recent new feature from the gaming former which I will link in a video description if you guys do want to read through all according to this feature available ghost skins coming with the taking king will offer a choice to boost intellect discipline and strength so boosting intellect discipline and strength won't be just down through the armor that you're wearing will now have a boost that comes from your ghost. I'm actually curious to see how this works I'm also curious to see the many variants of ghost skins that come with the taking king and I'm seriously hoping that there are more than just a couple available. Another thing gaming former states about these ghost skins is some of them offer special abilities for instance some ghost skins according to gaming former have the ability to sense nearby materials and other resources they also mentioned some have perks that offer increased bill amount for killing hive enemies now we are more than talking if this is just a start of new things ghosts offer in terms of abilities I'm seriously looking forward to what can actually be obtained and the perks they offer imagine a ghost skin was obtainable from the new raid this wouldn't surprise me whatsoever then also I can imagine being different rarities of ghost shells available why wouldn't there be a rare a legend or even an exotic ghost skin available I mean if they are taking the route of giving ghosts special abilities I can seriously see different rarity types but both skins and shells and the abilities and perks they offer are just another thing which is making me super hyped for the taking king which drops in little over a month on September 15th I am super duper pumped for this shit I really am especially from all the info we've heard over the past week but guys let me know your opinion on these ghost skins down below in that comments section thanks for stopping by as always do drop a like I'd appreciate the support and peace out until next time post

After all of the backlash over the last couple of days, it looks like Morgan Adams has released a public apology for her collab with Trisha Paytas and hopefully this is a wake up call not only to Trisha Paytas but to all of us. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem, but focus on the solution. And if you're new to my channel, my channel is all about mental health and what I like to do, I like to take different topics going on in the YouTube community, try to see what lessons we can learn from them to improve our own mental and emotional well-being. So if you're into that stuff, make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell. And if you just subscribe and ring that notification bell, for those of you who are new here, just so you know, we only look at these different topics that are going on so we can do some self-reflection. Alright, so I'm going to give you a little brief overview of what's going on. I'm going to read the apology that Morgan Adams sent out, but I'm going to share a little bit of my story and what I still try to do to this day to improve my mental and emotional well-being. So anyways, those of you who saw the video yesterday, Morgan Adams recently did a collab with Trisha Paytas and there was a lot of backlash, a lot. I showed some of the top comments on there, Insider Magazine even covered it and how Morgan's fans were really upset. So anyways, Morgan Adams took to Twitter yesterday, she probably released this on Instagram too, I'm not sure, but she put out an apology. Alright, so it says, from the bottom of my heart, my intention always has been and always will be to make videos, to make people laugh and be entertained. I know for a lot of people this video has crossed the line and I am truly sorry for anyone who has felt negatively from my actions and I hear you and I see you. I will always do my best to take your feedback and show you that I really do care. And I know mental health is so sensitive and personal to every individual including me and I'm sorry for my actions affecting you and will take full responsibility for that and hope to do better for you in the future. As for our timeline, we filmed with Trisha before any stay at home orders were in place. I stayed at my apartment alone for 25 days to make sure I wouldn't get my family sick then came to stay with them. This was filmed over the course of a few weeks, also I see a lot of people saying their comments are being deleted. I appreciate and understand your feedback and value your feelings and haven't deleted any comments YouTube filters through what the top comments are so people have new comments to read. I hope you know my heart was in the right place and I will take accountability for anyone who I have negatively impacted. I'm sorry I love you and I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. All right, so real quick there is this thing right and I know 99.9% of you watching this are not YouTubers but what I will say is try not to be so quick to accuse YouTubers of deleting comments.  So cut Morgan some slack as well as any other YouTuber when you believe they're deleting comments. There is also a chance also a chance that the person who left the comment deleted their own comment because a lot of people put stuff out there and they don't think it's going to get so many views right like somebody might have left something nasty and then it becomes the top comment and then maybe they're like ooh maybe I don't want to be associated with this comment because a lot of us don't expect to get that much attention when you know we post something right. So anyways just to touch on the Morgan Adams side of things slightly because I want to focus more on Trisha Paytas and self-improvement and all that. I saw some of your comments and everything like oh you know Morgan Adams has no control over Trisha Paytas neither the Shane or Ryland da da da da yes yes like what we have to realize is yeah we don't have control over other people but we do have control over who we hang around right like here's the thing like you guys so I am a 34 year old man god I'm getting old but you know I realize when I hung out with certain groups of friends every time I went out something crazy happened right like every time I went out with a certain group of friends or a certain friend you know just us going to hang out something nuts happened it was chaos right then all of a sudden I was like huh well if I'm trying to improve my life if I'm trying to improve my mental and emotional well-being and every time I hang out with this person something crazy goes down maybe I need to remove myself from that situation like you guys let me tell you this right now like I have a very small core group of friends I mentioned this in the last video but my life is so peaceful and full of serenity because I have eliminated the chaos like I still have a lot of friends from way back in my drinking using and partying days but I love them from a distance like I cannot have them in my life on a regular basis because of the chaos that they bring everywhere that they go right now this doesn't mean that I love them any less or I don't want to be friends with them but until they are willing to try to improve right or to try to change that chaotic factor in their life like I can be there for them you know as long as I'm monitoring my own mental health right like you know we all have those friends we all have those friends where every time they message you like the sky is falling and everything is crazy maybe it's somebody that are hooking up with maybe it's you know their family and or whatever it is right and we really have to be mindful of ourselves like something that I've been talking a lot with people about especially during these crazy times it's something called empathy fatigue alright when we give too much of ourselves it completely drains us mentally and emotionally alright so anyways now let's get back to the Patricia Paytas aspect of this and like I said in the beginning I'm hoping it's a wake-up call for her but I'm hoping it's a wake-up call for all of us so what I had to realize in my life was I didn't want to get better right I was a drug addict I was an alcoholic I was absolutely nuts I was I was the chaotic friend the chaos I was just talking about that used to be me right and I used to just wreak havoc wherever I went and I didn't care I didn't care I had this message to the world this is who I am if you don't like it get to step it right like that's the way I was living but when I when I really looked at it I was like holy crap Chris it's not just about you right like your friends are embarrassed by your behavior what you're doing Chris like when people associate with you it is harming them you see what I mean so part of my own mental health journey part of my sobriety journey was I had to quit thinking about myself right like if I didn't want to get better for myself I had to get better for other people I didn't want to be the drunken father showing up to my son's school events and embarrassing him right I had an alcoholic mother these things happen to me when I was a kid so I stopped thinking about me and saying oh I don't care if I embarrass myself it's like am I embarrassing him am I making my son look bad right I try to act right so I don't make my girlfriend look bad I try to act right so I don't let you know my parents look bad the other thing is to as a as a person a long-term recovery I am also very mindful like even though I didn't ask for it even though I didn't say hey you know look at me I am a representative of the recovery community right so I try to be mindful of that and what I do what I say how I you know maintain my sobriety right so we need to realize that and it's the same thing with our jobs we are a representative of our jobs and I know like you know leave work at work that is a huge part of life right but it's just human nature to associate us with these other things so I have to remember that as well so when I look at you know Trisha Paytas or all of us who might have Trisha ish behaviors you know like Trisha Paytas has said many times like you know this is my truth this is how I am you know I struggle with mental health issues I struggle with mental illness and it's like I get that I get that so many of us do but I'm telling you right now if you cannot find the the the willingness to get better for yourself and improve your life start thinking about other people you know what I mean like especially for those of us in recovery when I first got sober like I I didn't want to live like drugs and alcohol were the only things that woke me up in the morning and helped me move forward like just knowing I was going to get you know get more and get drunk or high right so when I got sober and that was taken away like I had nothing to live for so they say that you have to stay sober for yourself but there were certain days when I had to stay sober for other people so think about that because I know a lot of you aren't struggling with addiction but think about that with your depression with your anxiety with your trauma with your bipolar disorder with your borderline personality disorder with whatever it is like maybe you don't want to do therapy maybe you don't want to meditate maybe you don't want a journal right but if you're struggling to find the willingness to do that think about how you working on yourself can help your relationships think about how you go into therapy can help your relationship with your significant other with your family with your friends with your job think about how journaling might help your relationships you see what I mean if we can't find the willingness to do it for ourselves we get out of that mindset and we try to do it so we can foster healthier relationships in our life as a whole so again this video isn't just you know about what's going on with Trisha Paytas and Morgan Adams and Shane Dawson and all those other people we need to reflect on our own lives use this as motivation to start improving your life on a day-to-day basis so you can have better relationships with the people you care about you know what I mean anyways that's all I got for this video if you like this video please give it a thumbs up if you're new make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell and a huge huge thank you to everybody who supports the channel over on patreon as well as everybody who supports the channel by buying my mental health books at the rewiretole.com or the merch from the merch store you're all awesome all right thanks again for watching I'll see you next time


Good morning, and thank you for being with us this morning for our 50 years of video calling event I am patients Whitworth I serve as assistant vice provost for operations and strategic initiatives at Carnegie Mellon University and it is my pleasure to welcome Carnegie Mellon University provost and chief academic officer James Garrett, Jr. Thank you patients Welcome to our 50 years of video calling event. I'd like to thank everyone joining us on this historic day I'm also excited to have Mayor Bill Paduto and Alcoa Chairman Mike Morris taking part in this event Today we commemorate the launch of the world's first commercial video conferencing service that took place 50 years ago today The service launched with its first call from Pittsburgh Mayor Peter Flaherty to Alcoa Chairman and CEO John Harper Using an AT&T mod to fix your picture phone Today we have their modern-day counterparts with us Bill Paduto and Mike Morris It is particularly fitting that we're joined by our mayor To commemorate this celebration of Pittsburgh's leadership in launching big innovations Mayor Paduto is Pittsburgh's number one champion for research and technology development and a passionate advocate For the quest for innovation to expand opportunity for all Mike Morris serves as chairman of the board of directors of the Alcoa corporation Previously he held positions of increasing responsibility in energy and natural gas businesses He was the founder of and president of an our gathering company one of the first gas marketing companies in the United States Michael is a trustee of the Michigan of the Michigan State University College of Law Bill and Mike, thank you both so much for being here today Thank you. I'd like to recognize one of CMU's esteemed board of trustees members Todd Hunt who is in attendance today Todd's great-grandfather Alfred Hunt was one of the co-founders of the Pittsburgh reduction company, which later became Alcoa Your family has played in an integral role in the creation of our hunt Library and so it is an honor to have you here to witness a part of our institution's history as well as a part of your own family's history We'd also like to acknowledge another special guest in our audience from the company that made the original 1970 picture phone network possible AT&T Joining us today virtually is mark Blakeman president of AT&T mid-atlantic states observing the call just as AT&T officials did 50 years ago As the key player in introducing commercial video call services AT&T embodied the entrepreneurial approach to technology that Pittsburgh's business and civic leaders eagerly embraced a half century ago and continue to do so today One of the reasons Pittsburgh was selected as the site of the launch was due to its reputation as a center for technological innovation Much like it is today with pioneering companies such as Alcoa and leading academic institutions like CMU While the Pittsburgh while the picture picture phone system never took off commercially It laid the groundwork for modern-day video conferencing applications like zoom Google hangouts Skype and FaceTime The events of the past four months reinforce how essential this technology has become to our everyday lives And it is these very platforms that have allowed us to teach Learn connect and maintain business continuity in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic As part of an initiative to preserve and promote the history of science and technology Carnegie Mellon's university library's special collections have two vintage mod 2 picture phones I would like to thank Andrew McGee and Shannon rift from our university libraries for their leadership in creating today's event I also want to celebrate that professor Chris Harrison of the human computer interaction institute and his lab Who have led a cross campus team? refurbished the historic phones and updated them with modern components so that they can function today Later in the program you'll hear from chris andrew and our other faculty panelists Share more about this project and the enduring legacy of this technology Without further ado, I'd like to turn it over to mayor produto and chairman morris. Thank you Thank you, jim Mike, it's great to see you this morning Thank you very much, mr. Mayor. I would uh have not guessed a year ago that this would become such a commonplace way of communicating Uh, but it certainly has and we have a great shared history between the city of pittsburgh and alcoa in creating this mode of communication That really is true when you look at the video of 50 years ago It really was quite a breakthrough and that technology compared to today's technology Is as different as those 50 years are in our everyday life and to your point The last year the last six months anyways has put all of us in a very different light In using this technology at alcoa Just as i'm sure you do with your council of mayors and even in some of your own meetings This technology allows us to communicate Over the five continents where we do business each and every day And when you think back to the creation of the pittsburgh reduction company and what the hunt family was able to do It truly is breakthrough technology in so many ways, but for their creativity The world wouldn't know aluminum as an element to be used in so many ways to lighten The burden of transportation air travel and all of the other things which as you know leads to Energy efficiency in so many ways building structure efficiencies in so many ways So it's always nice to have one of the hunts with us as well And I surely know they have been instrumental in carnagy melons history. I'm sure you're happy to have them with us as well No, uh, Todd and his family have been a part of pittsburgh's fabric for over 150 years um, the hunt family itself Has been instrumental in basically creating a city of innovation Aluminum and the process in order to be able to create it Uh was more about the innovation behind it than the materials in the use of it And it has set forth Uh the ability to have places like carnagy melon university Creating generations of engineers who've transformed not only this region, but this world It really is true and and as you know better than I pittsburgh has been a strong base of creativity for many many Industrial activities in the world. We as you said at the very beginning We show a film at our annual meetings that we used to have in person Our shareholder meetings. We used to show a film that began with the creation of aluminum But then creating the market for the use of the product. I mean, there was no known use It's almost as uh steve job said years ago. He said I want to create a phone That people don't know they need but ultimately they're going to want to need and have to have and of course, that's what we did and I grew up myself In the energy business and the electric utilities With the battles of edison and the folks in pittsburgh, of course Went over how do we how do we actually use electricity? How do we create a market for it? How do we make it? Employable for the average citizen to use over the years Our major research and development facilities at alcoa incorporated and alcoa corporation Are located in the greater pittsburgh area where we continue to make progress and and innovations so aluminum as it got into the competition with With ceramics and other fiber optic and fiber activities for the skins of airplanes as compared to aluminum planes that were so used to All of that creativity was right there in the greater pittsburgh area So it really has been a foundational state for many many of america and the world's great innovations and something I know you and your predecessors are dutifully proud of yeah, I had the opportunity back around 2008 When I was a council member to travel to norway And do a fellowship for one month studying energy policy And one of the um, if you're quite well aware quite a large center of aluminum production Based upon the hydropower that has been able to be produced there for Such a long time as well as the natural resources of energy That norway has Uh, I think pittsburgh is very similar in in a sense You know yesterday, we celebrated the anniversary of the iphone. I think it's uh 13 years old Yeah, uh, and it's been absolutely transformative. You know The ability for everyone now to have this type of a communication Is in the palm of our hands, but imagine 50 years ago. I mean 50 years ago. I 40 10 years ago, I'm still tripping over that phone court my mom's kitchen You know, I mean the idea of actually seeing somebody the amount of circuitry that would be necessary the amount of Just technology to be able to have that type of a technology that we Just assume as natural today With the generation that grew up with this It really was george jettson No, it is and you'll recall when maxwell smart spoke into his shoe. We all laughed Or tracy into his wristwatch, but today all of those things are real. So for us at alcoa We we just had our annual shareholder meeting virtually And it's the first time we've ever done that and this technology allowed our shareholders all across the world To be able to ask questions of roy harvey our day-to-day ceo And it really was a creative Utilization you may recall in the years of paul o'neill's leadership of the alcoa incorporated organization We became one of the world leaders in safety and safety operations We use this technology today If we have a safety event anywhere in the world in the continents that we do work on We share that with all of our fellow workers and associates so that they can understand What happened what we've learned from it how we can avoid it going forward. So To our friends from at&t who were on the call here with us today God bless you for the creativity and the stick-to-tiveness because As you can see in the original film that I know some people had a chance to view AT&T Took a multi-billion dollar hit when that technology didn't hit the market as fast and as broadly as they hope That it would But as frequently is the case for inventors and creators it takes a while Before your creation is truly Accepted and understood for the magnitude of what it can and in fact does do well 50 years later As the city of pittsburgh we we follow in those footsteps of innovation And not only that but we are proud to announce that zoom Is now going to make pittsburgh It's hub for innovation and research on the east coast The the the path that was laid down 50 years ago today by leaders of alcoa and by leaders of our research and technology Industry Continues and they walk within those footsteps Oh, that really is amazing And it just again it shows the ability and the functionality of the technology that we have in front of us Well in the words of my predecessor Uh, let me make sure I get these right Mayor pete flairty 50 years ago It's nice to be with you And here's looking at you Then when I saw that film I thought how quaint that comment was to call a conclusion to that call at that time And and as you'll remember my predecessor john harper Went through a lot of technology advances because he showed us all How to get off of the video To come back on the video And then to brings one voice back to the screen as well And and like zoom, I know you know that alcoa corporation for some years had lost its way and Moved its headquarters to new york city But in april of 2017 We were warmly welcome to come back home To pittsburgh and and there's our world headquarters as it exists today And and as I said we do business on five of the seven continents So we clearly are a worldwide organization proud to be headquartered in pittsburgh, pennsylvania Well, it is truly a gem of the alagany and a commitment to Uh the early hunts family investment into this region, but the continuation of a strong Corporate partner and a fabric of all of western pennsylvania, and I thank you Well, you bet it's a it's a joy to be here and have the opportunity to With such advanced technology from what we had 50 years ago that I you know, we were originally we were all going to be together at the university but this probably is every bit as good and You didn't have to travel a few blocks to the university and I didn't have to travel a few miles to the university We were all able to do this in a very convenient way Yeah, I have to thank kernagy melan not only kernagy melan, but the folks at the hunt library The the school of computer science A hunt library is a massing or collection of artifacts and not only including these Beautiful cameras. I looked at I had a chance to see one of them yesterday Not just the The innovation of technology, but the Architectural design of them. I mean it really does look like something Of the pan am 1960s era I mean it And with aluminum based And built But uh just the the partnership that kernagy melan has provided To you to us To the rebirth of a of a region That has gone through some very resilient times. It's They have been our true partner throughout all of this And that is impressive and We love all of these innovations the skin on all those cell phones and on these IMAX and things that we're looking at our aluminum products made proudly by the alcoons worldwide and It just shows what a technology can ultimately bring for us and as I said earlier on the battle between George westing house and thomas edison Just again introduced creativity to the world In another product that was started right there in pissberg as well Something to be very proud of mr. Mayor. Thank you. Thank you. And as I said mike Nice to be with you Here's looking at you. Thank you very much. Mr. Mayor Thank you, mayor pedudo and mr. Morris at this time We did want to take just a couple of minutes If you are available to take a few questions from those who have joined us on zoom that Your questions can be submitted and the q&a box If you are able to see it But as we're waiting for those to come and I thought I might kick us off with the first question Which is really related to this kind of time in our history You both kind of spoke to it as where many of us are working from home or working remotely We're using video technology more than ever And I'm wondering if you could share a little bit about how you're using video conferencing and your own daily routine or in the routine with your teams Mr. Mayor um I would say that it's just something that i'm doing on a daily basis now it's it's become every day a part of my job just as A phone conversation or a meeting in this conference room would have been Uh three months ago The necessity of having a video Conferencing uh goes beyond just the sharing of documents which they thought of 50 years ago Which is remarkable Creating a mirror screen in order to be able to share not only this type of conversation but the document that you were reading off of and It's it's encompassed within meetings that are held between my own staff and we're all just a few miles apart and uh globally where we have had uh video conferences on a weekly basis with uh colleagues in asia in europe and africa And uh being able to do so seamlessly During a time of a pandemic Has made the ability of the deliverance of the critical services for the city Able to continue Well that clearly uh Is a great answer when you think through the challenges that we all have had for us Again, you mentioned norway earlier one of our most efficient facilities is located in iceland Our head of operations is headquartered in europe because of the stretch of saudi arabia to north america and from australia Again to iceland This technology has been extremely beneficial for us as we continue to do the work that we do Thank you Mr. Mayer we we spoke about this a little bit earlier But i'm hoping we can talk about it more about what features of the pittsburgh business community encourage businesses And entrepreneurs to embrace new and experimental technology Like alcoa did with the picture phone 50 years ago Well, I think uh part of that and i'll leave the the business side of that to mike but uh innovation Is profit i mean the ability to create better the ability to create more efficient And as we really come to understand most recently the ability to create more equitable It has a bottom line that helps to build out the profitability Uh pittsburgh, you know is is often referred to as a city that was built on steel But it it was the besamer process that really built pittsburgh It was the innovation and the production of steel and then steel to aluminum That helped to build the united states and to build the world And that innovation is in our dna Is as we look at institutions like kernagy mel and what we see are they are producing the critical Part of the 21st century economy, which is talent And a city like pittsburgh that is able to produce that type of talent becomes very attractive to companies Not only to grow within western pennsylvania, but to locate here And that's so true for us as well as we see the opportunities to put aluminum to work in carbon reduction technologies lightening the load when you see organizations like tesla bring an electric vehicle to the marketplace considerably more aluminum in that production when you look at the decision that Ford motor company made just a few years ago to take the Most prolific automobile they've ever created since the model t the ford f 150 truck And turn a great deal of that body into aluminum Was quite a decision to be made by mulally at the time But it lightened the load it increased the mileage opportunity for that vehicle Without fighting a lot of government standards. So these changes in this creativity All of which is pittsburgh centric has served the world really really well Mr. Mayor mr. Morris, thank you both for your time this morning It has been really great to recreate this moment in history and we appreciate you joining us Patience, thank you for making sure we all stayed on cue and stayed on time Thank you. Bye. Bye. Bye great All right as we move to the next part of our program I think that we will invite our panelist to join us on screen And before we move to q&a for our panelists I just wanted to do a round of introduction So I will introduce you and maybe you all could share a little bit about your research Um And yourself so first we'll start with professor chris harrison who's an assistant professor of computer science at carnegie melin Yes, thank you. Uh, so in addition to being a computer scientist My particular area of study is human computer interaction And I really cares about that intersection between computing and humans and how we can bring things like Sensors and artificial intelligence together to enable entirely new ways to communicate entirely new ways to harness the incredible potential of computing and the picture phone is a great example of bringing that human Side and the technology side together to enable entirely new experiences Thank you chris Next we'll go to professor molly rite steenson who's a senior associate dean for research in the college of fine arts Good morning. Hi My research deals with the history of artificial intelligence and computations So I look at devices like the history of like the video phone But I also am an interaction designer Which means that I think about how we interact with these different kinds of devices So 17 years ago some of my students were looking at mobile video experience but there just wasn't traction for it yet and Now I think we see it very very differently Thank you, professor steenson and next we'll go to andrew magie a postdoctoral fellow in the history of science and computing in the carnage mellon university libraries Thank you. And good morning. I'm a historian of technology culture business and Markets, I'm interested in the intersection of how technologies are developed and received in societies The video phone is a perfect example of how technological innovation cultural change and societal shifts coalesce into Something that takes a long time to develop and be accepted But eventually becomes a fundamental part of who we are as an american society by celebrating 50 years of Commercial video conferencing We're making a direct link between a particular moment of time and something that is increasingly commonplace today Thank you All right, I think it's okay We I would invite audience participants to submit any questions They have for our panelists and the q&a features and we will get to those as we can in the time of this event But I think I'll kick it off with the first question and I'm going to go back to you professor magie What makes historical what makes the historical call we are recreating today significant And why is it worth commemorating this particular technology moment? Thank you patients We're basically looking at the development of a commercial network in 1970 when this call is tested out in pittsburgh on june 30th And then opens commercially the following day on july 1st It's really the key moment when Video calling moves outside of the lab. It moves outside of exhibition booths at world's fairs and Special events in washington in new york And it's the basis of what will hopefully become a commonplace network of viable commercial enterprise Where people can telephone from their desks and eventually from their homes and see one another It's the culmination of decades of research up to that point in the 1970s Investigating how to link the promise of seeing one another over a distance with the advancing technology telephony electronics Signals processing that would make possible this Amalgamation of technological capacity and infrastructure so that people could finally link voice and link video And talk to one another in real time. It's important because it's that direct through line to the moment we live in today Thank you Professor Harrison I wonder if we could continue the conversation We just heard the mayor and chairperson morris have related to pittsburgh And I wonder if you could speak to why was pittsburgh chosen as for this first commercial video phone network And what do you think this says about the past and the present of technology innovation in the city So the picture phone service was actually supposed to launch in in two different cities It's supposed to launch both in pittsburgh and new york city simultaneously and that's because both were Major hubs for large corporations that would have the deep pockets to pay for this expensive service And also they were in a very dense urban core to carry the signal Was actually very expensive requiring specially upgraded switches and three phone lines for every one call And because of that it made a lot of sense to preserve bandwidth on at&t's network at the time By keeping kind of the customers close and in a compact area, which was true in both new york city and pittsburgh unfortunately, there was Kind of they couldn't upgrade the equipment in new york city in time and that left pittsburgh as the sole launch city today 50 years ago To the can I answer the second part of your question about what does this say about pittsburgh as a technology hub? I think a lot of people see pittsburgh as sort of a recent success story But I don't think that's actually true and this is a great example of how that innovation and legacy has gone back More than 50 years and including back to alcoa, you know in the 1800s And so pittsburgh has constantly been a site of drawing, you know innovators and entrepreneurs And and has a continuous history of launching innovations that continues to this day And that we're very proud of Thank you, professor hairs Well, tix i'll go to professor steenson And I I wonder if you could just comment a little bit about the mod to picture phone as a design object What may its aesthetics and user functionality tell us about video conferencing tools and methods? Well, I hope you got a chance to see the images and the ads about it because they're it's fantastic You can think of the mod one with the the oval and then the mod two with its rectangular form the beautiful stand There's some lightness to it. It's uh, it's space age, but it's space age in a kind of 70s way It's no longer an artifact of sort of the sputnik design of the 1960s And it's I think really important when we think about the form factor of our technologies It says something about the period of time that we're in so we talked The mayor mentioned the iphone and it's launched 13 years ago And we think of what about what that device looked like well Think about what the mod to picture phone looked like and what that meant the small camera The compact television screen tv screens weren't compact at that point even a portable tv was really pretty rare So we see these different elements of of screen of camera and of just the form of the beautiful device That are all that are all characteristic of its time period and the hopes for what it might mean for communication in the future Okay, thank you I I think just to continue on that discussion a little bit. I'll ask this question to all three of you But what can the development of the picture phone its receptions and its legacy tell us about the potential future for technology And and maybe even what will video conferencing look like in another 50 years Andrew, why don't you kick us off? All right, I think the picture phone today is often told as a story of a failure Because its Pittsburgh launch did not translate into broader commercial success But I would argue that instead it's a hidden secret success It's really a case of laying the groundwork for what would become a commonplace widespread technology The hundreds of millions of dollars that 18 team poured into it would pay off eventually in broader commercial acceptance of video conferencing At the time it was seen as a futuristic technology It was Lated with expectations that no actual technology could meet. This is the kind of Connecting across space and time That seems to convey The future the world we don't quite live in yet. It's why video conference images were used in Stanley Kubrick's film 2001 a space Odyssey. I think we can say that video conferencing in the future will embody our dreams of the present right now But will actually manifest in a form that we can't fully anticipate Can I add something to that? Um, I really like that idea that these what seems like a commercial failure In the moment really is not and we see that throughout the history of computing particularly That there's kind of a long story about how an idea is created and then many years later We see its success outside of what seems like commercial success You know, we saw that with the IBM stretch And the way that IBM that that underscores IBM architectures later on in mainframes We see that with video as well with video phone And we might look ahead and think well surely we're going to be in a moment of hologram And holography and yet that's something that we've been researching for some 40 years already. Anyway, and so I guess in a sense what's old is new again and what's new is old um, but what makes it come to life is connectivity being inexpensive to chris's point to uh to Miniaturization of chipsets and to screens that over that don't overheat Those are the beginnings of things that make things possible for a bigger commercial success I think um One of the things that I was reflecting over and we saw a chairman person morris Demonstrate to us is the idea of muting yourself or turning your screen off like mine is right now But beyond the more common it doesn't seem like the video conferencing 50 years ago is really a lot different from today Speaking of what you were saying molly Why is that and does it speak to the success of the medium? Why don't you go first chris? so Yeah, I think it has largely unchanged. It's amazing that you know, it's been 50 years half a century And you know other than having a color image the the end user experience is remarkably similar I mean that's a real testament to how advanced it was in 1970 And and I think that is true also for the telephone. I mean the telephone was invented in the 1870s And yes, you're talking on a small wireless computer now, but again the end experience is remarkably Unchanged it's still talking with someone by voice. And I think that actually Shows that it's very likely that in 50 years from now I would not be surprised if we still have telephones and video conferencing They're very good technologies or what they do that medium is successful What I think will change is that there'll be new mediums added to that Whether that'll be in virtual or augmented reality or who knows what in 50 years I'll be hopefully an emeritus, you know professor by then But but I think that we'll still see video conferencing and telephones because they are so successful And and so kind of core to the human experience and human communication I'd add to that that one of the things that we see today, of course, is that they're mobile You don't need to do a zoom call from your computer Although I think we're all sitting we might well all be sitting in front of computers, right? But we could do this outside in the garden. Um, mayor pedudo Could have been out on the river on the Allegheny So he could be doing this from a phone and that's the really big change Chris and Molly are spot on when AT&T Constructed this network in 1970. It was envisioned as a series of desktop units That would reside in the offices of executives of alcoa and westinghouse And the great firms of the golden triangle of pittsburgh and their acceptance Would drive the spread of the network as it moved to other businesses and then to schools and then to homes And eventually everyone would have a unit calling from place to place As chris and molly point out as new features are laden on to this technology over the past 50 years What's most striking is that it's detached from this concept of place No longer are you calling from place to place you're calling from a number that floats freely The hardware of the mod 2 picture phone is now replaced over video calling By software and you can use it on your phone on your tablet on your laptop You can take it anywhere and that's really the promise connecting people regardless of where they are It just took 50 years to detach that from copper cables That's right. It's person to person and not what used to be called station to station Well, speaking of station to station Professor Harrison, I wonder if you can talk a little bit about you and your team's experience of refurbishing the old picture phones held In cmu's collections. What were some of the challenges? Did your lab encounter it to get these working again? Tell us more about that? Yeah, we're very fortunate to have two of the original mod 2 picture phones that were launching this system And we actually don't know how many are left in the world But it may be you know, only just a few dozen or maybe even less than that That is very hard to get an accurate count. AT&T has something on the order of you know, six to ten something on that line And so we want to be very careful when we thought about how we might restore or refurbish these machines to be able to bring them into the president Have them be you know Help tell the story of video conferencing and ultimately the decision was made to not try to resurrect the very delicate You know 1970s technology and circuit boards In in because we didn't want to endanger the preservation of these devices And so the decision was made to kind of recreate the devices using the original 1970s enclosure but sort of augmented with modern technology internals So we can run things like zoom and skype and google hangouts and have people connect to each other In a way that actually wouldn't be that dissimilar to using a laptop today And that's how they exist And we hope in the fall that people can come to Carnegie Mellon's campus and actually connect with someone on one of the original picture phones That's very exciting. Thank you, professor Harrison Professor steenson Just thinking about that technology And the picture phone. How does the picture phone figure into popular culture in movies for instance? It's the future. It's always the future, right? There are picture phones in 1927 in metropolis In 1930 or so there are various ideas for picture phones around 1935. I think is when television is invented But we think of them, of course, we mentioned 2001 as space Odyssey The conversation with With his daughter back on earth Um, my personal favorite is Colossus. It's a bourbon project in 1970 If you have not seen this this film, you really do have to see it about super computers at war with each other Between russia and the u.s. And there are picture phones on every desk It's the primary mode of interaction the interrupt parties, you know, very much the way we would see them now um And we even see it in in things like back to the future too in 1989 So we always have it there as a vision of the future And then we start seeing it again with the emergence of mobile phones that have cameras in them around 2004 2005 it becomes possible to start thinking of video infrastructure for mobile phones things like mobile video karaoke Um, so that's the next version of the future Thank you. I think as we we stay on this uh This idea of the future I want to ask a question that actually comes from our dean of the library's keith webster So he's going to ask a very uh dean of the library's question Which I'd love for all three of you to respond to which is What should the university libraries be collecting today for celebration 50 years from now? Well as a proud employee of the university libraries who has the pleasure of working with the picture phones held by our special collections and with the excellent trial and court at collection of vintage information processing and computing and calculating devices Including two enigma machines that reside in Hunt library on the same new campus I have a vested interest in our continuing to collect interesting pieces that not just embody technological transformation But typify how people are actually using technology and we're in a very distinctive historical moment right now Much as in 1970 when the picture phone was unveiled on alcoa and mayoral desks at Pittsburgh The world was in a period of flux the late 60s early 70s were a time of great protest and social people and social movement So too are we in an era when people are seeking to express their voices through technology? I think one of the things that's driving The peaceful protests across the united states and around the world right now Is the ability to capture and share video So I feel something like a gopro camera a phone that is Treated as a camera that can transmit images remotely Which is the dream of a picture phone 50 years ago embodies this ability to organize people for protest to capture images That can motivate people to hold the powerful accountable And to spread to the media and the broader public exactly what's going on in the world if you want to embody 2020 in a concept it's sharing information and that information right now means video. It's captured on mobile portable devices That's what I put in the libraries I can quickly jump in I think the What we need to collect is a bit better outreach actually into Pittsburgh and the community There's so many amazing artifacts out there and I think you know universities tend to be quite myopic and what they kind of collect Professors notes and things like that But there's such a treasure trove of amazing technological advances that You know end up being put into some storage closet and forgot about and and we should be the stewards of that history So I think it's actually quite broad ranging and we have an important role to play along with other partners You know obviously the city itself, but you know university Pittsburgh and the other great institutions that are here I add to it thinking of the media that's likely to be dead media If we look back over the last 25 30 years a lot of our videocassettes have gone Missing and dead our compact discs have been destroyed And yet those are the kind of ephemeral ways that we've captured the projects and and the ideas that we've had the every dayness Of what we do and so I would I would say that the university especially where it's thinking about these communication advances and how they bring people together Are concerned should find ways to capture those projects of the every day right now both in the larger data stores that It might have through something like library of congress and twitter on one hand, but Working across the campus to make sure that the everyday projects whether it's 15 1 12 in the school of computer science Or the school of designs interaction design masters projects That we capture those and make sure that people can understand what they are and what what ideas they were performing Great Well, thank you all I hope that that was the answer that Keith wanted as well But the very thoughtful response from you all And I appreciate your participation on this panel And I want to thank everyone who joined us today for as we mark the 50 years of video calling And I especially want to thank the three of you on the panel. I know Andrew And chris and shannon not pictured now Have put an enormous amount of time into this event So I just want to thank you both all three of you for your leadership And of course, we are grateful for the participation of mayor pedudo chairperson morris provost garrett And new professor steenson. So I think we will conclude the event at this time But thank you all very much for joining us and for Recreating this important time in our history
