I've been here a few times the last few years and I find it very interesting always to talk to people to see what's happening here. I currently live in Switzerland, but I was born in Germany. I lived there for, well, until I was 22 and then I moved to America. So if I speak about things that have to be perfect, that's my German soul. If I speak about things that are fantastic and awesome, that's my American soul. For 20 years I spent there and if I try to say nothing, that's my Swiss soul. I try to be very careful. You're not getting an image? Okay. I was working before, otherwise I'll have to speak forever without slides. That's also entirely possible. No, no problem, but my website is going to be at futurewithgird.com. I will have the slides there available later for downloading because I have quite a few slides. If I speak too quickly, please do wave at me so I can slow down because it's a very bad habit I got from the American way of doing things. Are you getting this to work or should we try this? No, it's on. It's a PDF? I don't want to use the PDF. Sorry, just one second please. Okay, let's try this again. Are you getting a signal? Sorry. Technology is, yeah, I was using a Mac before, so we have to go back to this. So you will not see all my beautiful animations I put into my primary version, but that's okay, we can still make it work. So let's talk about this first.  I didn't know what a futurist is until I became a futurist. Basically what I do is I look at the key trends the next sort of five to ten years and I try to find out what are those trends is important for the clients that I work with. And I run a company in Switzerland called The Futures Agency. And there's 27 of us and we basically try to help people reinvent. We have 150 people working in the fields of technology, media, publishing, and this is kind of my job. You can see here it's actually pretty straightforward. Just paying attention to things, listening to things. There's a great saying in China that says if you want to know about the future, ask your children. It's kind of obvious, most of you, if you spend 90% of your time looking at the next five years, you would know what's coming. We also have a very good motto at The Futures Agency. The motto is it wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark. A lot of my companies that I work with, there's over 200, they have exactly this problem, right? They have a good business, but in five years their business is so likely to change, it's extremely difficult for them to catch up with the types. So what I focus on is what I call the hard futures. And those are things that will definitely happen. I used to be in the music business in the 90s. And you may remember 1999 was the year of Napster, remember Napster? Downloading for free. And in the year 2000, I started a company like Spotify. You may know Spotify, a streaming company. Because it was clear that music will move to the cloud, right? That was clear in the year 2000. The record companies and the record corporations that made music, they did not agree with the idea of music moving to the cloud, right? And they followed it for 12 or 10, 15 years really. In the courts, the record business sued 258,000 people in court, right? And what do we have today? Music in the cloud. But they have lost 70% market share. In five years, very few people will still know who EMI music or Sony music is as a result. Because when you ignore the context of what is changing, you become irrelevant. That's something we can see with many businesses. So I'm focusing on these practical things. And the bottom line, as we're seeing today, is exponential technological change. That means Moore's law. You're familiar with Moore's law, of course, right? Technology doubling every 24 months. But Moore's law is causing huge societal changes. Okay, we're still there, yeah? Okay, that's good. Equipment is working. Otherwise, I will have to just ran forever. But so the societal changes that we're seeing because of technology. Imagine this today, because now we have, for example, automatic language translation, right? We have it in Skype. We have an app called Say Hi. It's a $2 app. If you download this app, you can speak in 34 languages. Three months ago, I went to Japan to speak. I went to a sushi restaurant afterwards. And I was able to talk to the sushi chef in German. And he spoke to me in Japanese. I mean, if you want to do any dating, this is a perfect app for that. If you're dating people that don't speak your language. Like Tinder Plus or something, I don't know. Anyway, so I was able to talk to this guy for 30 minutes. So it's really science fiction, what is happening, right? It's exponential. And the things that we're seeing now in technology is mind boggling. We've always talked about the paperless office, right? Has never happened. But now it's happening in a big way. Paper is going out of style in offices, slowly but steady. I think in most countries will take a little while, right? But cloud computing, mobility, cheap mobile devices. Paperless office. Self-driving cars. That was almost like a flying car, right? 10 years ago. In five years in most European cities we'll have some self-driving cars going on fixed roads. We'll have trucks on our highways going on separate roads. I mean, this is science fiction, right? So exponential technology also means in 10 to 15 years we can solve the energy problem. Cheap batteries, solar energy, switch to renewable. We can solve global warming. We can potentially solve things like cancer, right? Imagine this exponential curve of DNA editing, right? Of course, we have lots of other problems when we use this kind of technology because if we can solve cancer, we can also program our babies. So there's lots of issues about ethics which I'll get to in a second. But my statement is humanity will change more in the next 20 years than in the previous 300. And if you have kids, I think you'll feel different about this, right? What in the world will your kids do for work? Well, the answer is they will have jobs that are not even invented yet. I mean, I have two kids, they're 21 and 26. They both have no idea what they're going to be doing because it seems like every job is only temporary, right? I mean, it's all about data, technology, science, engineering, math, and then we have, of course, artificial intelligence, all these things, right? It seems kind of obvious that because of technology, we will have rapid optimization, right? Rapid automation of jobs, bookkeepers, financial advisors, taxi drivers. Some people are saying roughly 45% of all jobs can be automated in the next 20 years. So think about your own job. Think about your kid's job and your kids' of the kid's job, right? My job, for example, is under danger. I don't think I'm personally under danger. I can do fine without a job. But basically what's happening here is that, now the first time this year, the first TED conference will be held where you have a robot giving a speech, right? So you can ask the robot, you know, on the future of business and the robot will pontificate for as long as you let him run. It's the oracle bot, I call that, right? But anyway, that's a different future. So exponential, right? There's a great book that just came out called Exponential Organizations. And this book is a great read. It's very Silicon Valley, but it's still a good thing to read. And the important thing is that because of the difference between linear and exponential, we have a lot of disruption. We have all these companies who are looking to substitute what people used to do differently before. First media, banking, education, government, energy, cars. So this sweet spot that you see here, right, between the linear and the exponential, that is the interesting part. If you can do something with technology that uses that interim part, you know, that hotspot, that's the takeoff point. So I had a whole bunch of examples that you can't hear now because we had to switch to the PDF. You can't see them now. But there's like 50 things that I can quick succession. Like bionic limbs, you know, being able to replace a war veteran's arm or leg with a prosthesis that works better than the previous one. In fact, now there's people who want to have their legs removed to have better legs, right? Can you imagine that? I mean, I'm not joking here, right? This is actually happening. So technology is really changing the way things are happening. And this is what it comes down to. And I think we're lucky that we get to live in this future, but humanity and technology is converging. You know, the mobile devices that we have here, all of you have this, this is our external brain, right? This is a second brain outside of your body. And this second brain is becoming so much more powerful and cheap and fast, right? This phone here has the entire computing power that the president of the United States had 15 years ago. It's all in here. In five years, this machine will be more powerful than all of the computers in Poland or for that matter in Europe combined, right? In five years. So what that means is that as humans, we can behave differently. We can do different things. We can see different things. I'll have some examples on this.  Because many of these things will be very good for us. For example, if we have robotic people picking up the garbage, right? Robotic robots picking up the garbage. We don't have to do that anymore. But the hell part is that what happens to those jobs? If our software is doing the work for us, that's great, but at the same time, you know, how we're going to replace those jobs and who's going to do what and which time, right? So that is a key question. You see on this slide here, what is happening with what's called the internet of things, right? So connected devices, cars, power plants, sensor networks, wristwatches, clothes, helmets, weapons. Everything gets connected. You see on this chart here, how many people are searching for this. And the top one of that is wearable computing, things that you wear like a wristwatch, the smart city, the smart home, the industrial internet. I mean, these are all things that are happening all at the same time now. I mean, if you're in the technology business right now, of course, it's a huge explosion of possibilities. But then again, you have to think about what this will do to our society. People behave differently. And of course, humans are not exponential. You can do whatever you want. Your brain isn't going to be 100 times as fast in two years, unless you take some serious drugs. But think about that change, right? We're staying on the exponential. We're growing exponentially only in a matter of age, for example, but not in a matter of power. Then we have consequences of technology. Like the self-driving car is a great example. So the other day I drove a self-driving car, tested it with one of my clients. It was very interesting. And we talked about what happens when, so the engineer said, for example, the car has a great limitation because it cannot make decisions. If you take the self-driving car and you drive down the road and there's a frog on the road, the car will say, well, what do I do now if there's no double yellow line? I can go buy the frog, right? If the frog is moving, I can't risk running or killing the frog. So after a while, the car just stops, right? You have a double yellow line, the frog is still there and you don't know what to do.  It's just a frog. If necessary, or to drive around it and break the rule of the yellow line. But a machine can't decide that. In this example you see here, what happens when there is going to be an accident that is unavoidable?  Will it kill the oldest person that it may kill? Or will it kill the least amount of children or whatever?  That is an ethical decision. So you're going to see self-driving cars, but not in the sense of going out to the Polish countryside and just riding around, you know, that's not gonna happen for quite some time. But limited things. That's a typical hell-vend scenario. And so you see here, unfortunately again, because the graphics are now a little bit put together, but basically in 2027, the first computer will have the computing power of the human brain. Today, the most advanced computer has the computing power of a cricket compared to our brain. In 2027, a place called the Singularity, an event called the Singularity, which means that one computer can sort of have the capacity of my brain. And then in 2050, one computer will have the capacity of all human brains. At that point, roughly 10 billion. So at that point, the latest, the question is going to rise, what do we do, what do they do?  So the key question you have to ask with technology today is not whether you can do something because the answer is always going to be, just ask Microsoft, right? Yes, we can do this. It's possible. Ask any tech company that will say, yeah, put enough resources, we can do this, right? And so the question is not if you can do that, but the question is what you should do and why? The purpose of business, as Socrates has said, thousands of years ago, is happiness, right? Is to create customer happiness. So the question you have to ask is technology going to help this or not? And this thing called digital transformation, which is very hard to define what it actually means, right? That's basically going from all the analog way of doing things to a digital way of doing things. And Marshall McLuhan, who was one of the key futurists a long time ago, a social analyst, he basically said it's the framework that changes with each technology and not the picture, not just the picture. So it doesn't really matter so much whether we discuss about how we're gonna use big data or whether we roll out the internet of things. But what is the larger story? Larger story is that everything around us is going digital, automated, virtual, cloud-connected, interdependent, and intelligent. And that is changing the way that we look at the world. Here you see some of those framework changes as the technologies will change that future, you know, cloud computing, mobile, and so on. I mean, you know all these things, but the magnitude of this in five years is when you count from four, the next step is eight, that's in two years. In four years it's 16, right? And in six years it's 32. 32 is like, I don't know, what is it, 16 times as much as two, right? I mean, the leaps we're going to see here will be mind-boggling. So we're heading into what Ericsson calls the network society. And if you're looking at this old paragraph shift here, you see in this slide from Paul Berber and the network topologies, you're going from the old way of doing things which were centralized, to the latest way of doing things you know, five years ago, which were essentially decentralized and networked, and the future which is distributed. So in the sense of cars, going from an old Mercedes to a Volvo that connects to a Tesla network of cars. And that is going to happen across all businesses. The first business for that to happen to go the networked way was music. Music is now in the cloud and networked and films and books, Nexus banking, insurances, government, education, transportation, energy. So those shifts are going to happen across the board. Great example, unfortunately again you don't see that moving here, but the whole point of showing you this was to show that for example, bankers are looking at this and saying, well if we can use the blockchain, the Bitcoin kind of idea to lower the transaction costs of sending money, if we can control that then essentially we're going to see the same thing. This person here from MasterCard, I think, she says that basically this kind of idea would be like email for money. Remember that email is free, right? If you're in the banking business, you're facing a disruption of huge proportions because technology will make sending money and getting cheap loans and doing the basic banking stuff 95% cheaper. How much did you use to pay for music? Maybe 20 euros a CD or maybe a download from BitTorrent for free, I don't know. But 20 euros per CD, how much do you pay for Spotify? Eight for 16 million songs, right? That's going to happen to all services that become a commodity, media, publishing, cars, transportation and energy. So what we need to do is to figure out what we would do about this. I mean, if you've seen the exponential curve about Bitcoin, the first major investment in this company that used to be blacklisted as a means of basically criminals, right? To use this kind of protocol. Now Kleiner Perkins, the biggest investor in the world is investing in the blockchain concept, the Bitcoin concept. Fortunately, we can't see that what was behind it but this guy, Gary Hamill, is a very smart writer, he says the single biggest reason companies fail is that they over invest in what is as opposed to what might be. And the layer behind that showed you the music industry and you see a little tail of this there, the music industry has gone from buying CDs and downloads to being in the cloud, right? Spotify, YouTube and Apple own the music business. iTunes currently is 81% of the music business. YouTube is trying to get that, it's no longer the label. So basically you have to anticipate the framework changes. So if I say that some of you may be in the banking business or in transportation or logistics, that framework is changing dramatically. And you have to anticipate how that framework changes to actually see it. One of those things is what has been referred to as the experience economy. So that means we're used to buy products, right? And then we bought services like subscriptions and now we're starting to buy experiences. Think about this for a second, if you buy an iPhone, you may spend a thousand euros to buy the iPhone and you feel happy about it for about a day or maybe a week, maybe a little bit longer.  That is how much experience is different from a product. And the more easy we can get new products, the more we think about experiences, like events, get-togethers, real experiences. And if you're looking what is really successful now in terms of software and technology like Airbnb or Uber, right? These are providing a service that becomes an experience that you can think about. You see on the left this chart that says basically lots of research has pretty much proven that people are valuing experiences more than anything else. In fact, the purchase decision of a car or any large consumer good is based on an experience economy, right? What could I possibly experience with this? So you have this conversation about this going up to the chain there, right? Going to an experience economy. So if you're in tourism, right? You know this is all gonna be about experiences. If you're in the hotel business. Pretty much all of these things. You see on the top row here, typical experience, Uber, right? Right next to Uber is a car called local motors. This car is printed with a 3D printer. So now we can customize your experience. You can say I wanna have a green frame or a blue frame or you can download the latest update from Tesla and your car is a different car because it's based on software. I mean, Tesla is the best example for the economy switching from hardware to software. Tesla downloads new software and the next morning you have a new car, right? You can have another experience. So it's very important to make that shift. So for example, in a software business you can see that it goes away from routers and switches to software defined networking, experiences. And they get cheaper. So you have to think of new revenue models. This guy, very smart guy that you probably know, Mark Andreessen, founder of Netscape, right? He said years ago that basically software is eating the world. Everything around us is becoming software. And he said this about six years ago in the Wall Street Journal and he was right, right? Music is software, films are software, books are software. Now banking is becoming software, cars are becoming software, right? People are becoming software, right? Robots, basically. So the question that we have to ask when you're looking at your business, which part of your business can be contested as software?  And they were asking a question, can somebody invent something that's going to really threaten our business to basically provide different kinds of accommodations like eBay styled us, or this was before Airbnb, right? And a few years ago, Airbnb comes in the market and this is the biggest competition for mid-level hotels, not for fancy hotels really, because it's using a database, right? It doesn't own any hotels. It doesn't build any hotels. It doesn't pay any taxes, not yet. That will change, I'm sure. But imagine that the biggest company in the world, I mean, Airbnb is adding 30,000 rooms every two weeks. That's a 15 year program for Hilton Hotel Chain, to add 10,000 rooms. Airbnb is worth twice as much as the Hilton Hotel Chain. So basically, this is all about software. Everything that used to be hardware is becoming software. And that is basically reframing our lives. It's going to reframe education, banking, insurances, entertainment was already there. I was gonna show the clip here with Microsoft HoloLens, which some of you may know, but we can't get that to work now. So check it out on YouTube, just HoloLens, H-O-L-O, Lens. It's a great clip showing as to how we are starting to see reality differently. A few years ago, Google Glass tried this, right? Remember Google Glass? And people looked at it. I had one, it was terrible, right? Because everybody hated you. But now we have like 20 companies doing this, Facebook, Oculus Rift and Google is coming back as well and Microsoft and Samsung and you name it, right? This will be our new reality in a few years. This will be as normal as using WhatsApp, and wearing glasses, not socially, but for business.  The Microsoft HoloLens project is particularly interesting because they're looking for an end price of about $250, which means in five years, it'll be $10. Imagine how that will change the world around us. So in general, what's happening with technology and business, it used to be a very clear-cut situation. You were either a tech company, or you were in humanity, which means politics, culture, society, that sort of weird thing, or organization, which is business. And there was a really clear-cut difference. And today, sorry, that didn't work, yeah. Well, that's because the animations aren't working, because of our switch, you will not get to see the second part, I will have to explain that to you. The second part is essentially emerging of those three circles, right? So the future is that we're converging humanity, technology, and organization. And this is really an interesting scenario. So if you're looking at companies like Tesla, for example, they're not just inventing new technology, they're inventing a whole new way of energy and of mobility. And that is going to change, for example, some people are saying, in many cities around the world, we will not have public parking in 10 years, because we won't have cars that have to park. Imagine how much space that would unlock in a city if it wasn't for all the parking. We may no longer have traffic jams in 15 years in Los Angeles or New York or, all right, because all the cars are coordinated through the internet of things. That's not just going to be a big deal with the environment, but also in terms of how people live, right? So I get this question a lot, you know, when I talk to companies about digital transformation, the question is, how do companies and people change? And the answer is right here, right? Through pain and through love. That means you have pain because you realize, all of a sudden, your business is no longer going to work as it did. I mean, how many of you would go home and say, you know, I'm thinking about this, maybe in five years it'll be something completely different? Did you know that most of the Fortune Top 100 companies, 40% of them are no longer living longer than 15 years. They used to live 75 years. I mean, how quick do companies change? Now Google, in a way, is what Microsoft used to be, right? Kind of the boring tech guys, right? Google is becoming that now, and Google is becoming more objectionable now than Microsoft ever was, right? Like privacy. It was very interesting in a very short timeframe. So very interesting scenario here in this transition. The other thing you need is love, which means a great idea that you believe in. It's not enough to have just pain. That would be enough in Germany, I think, but you also have to have a good idea and really like it. Like Jeff Bezos from Amazon invented the Kindle. Many of you have a Kindle, the e-reader, I'm sure. And he invented it, he went to the publishers, and he said that many people are going to want to switch from reading printed books to the e-reader. The publisher said, well, nobody's asking for this, and we're not going to give you a better price for these. So he ended up buying the rights for the book, as an electronic book, for the same price as the print, and he subsidized $5 billion worth over three years, and now he's selling three times as many e-books than he sells in print, and they've become a publisher. So falling in love with an idea can be extremely risky, like every love affair can be very risky, but you need both, you need both to change. So if you're in a company where there is no risk taking and nobody is really excited about anything, that is a bad picture for the future. At least you have to have some pain to figure out what is next. So if you want to frame one shot from tonight, and we're going to make the PDF available later in its entirety, there's what I call the eight Asians, and they're called the Asians because they all end with Asian, okay? That's basically eight big things that are happening that are changing our lives and our jobs, digitization. Everything that can will go digital, films, television, music, whatever. Disintermediation, people that used to be in the middle are being cut out. The next big thing to be cut out is the banks. It's much harder to cut out banks because you need banks for a lot of things, right? But for example, if you're gonna send money to your child or to your son or daughter in the US, right now it will cost you $40 or so to send some money. Well, now you can do that with about 10 or 15 apps, and it will take four hours and cost you $2. That's disintermediation, just like we no longer really need record companies.  You sign with YouTube or the Spotify. Mobilization and screenification, which means everything is becoming a screen. I mean, literally everything. Now we even have digital assistants, you know, Amazon has this box that you put on the table called Echo, right? And it listens to your conversation, it has a small screen and you interact with it. I just tried it out the other day again, as if it was a person, right? You say, please play this, what's the weather going to be, you know, do you love me, whatever? You can ask all these questions. There's a really interesting one that I was gonna play for you, this robot called Gibo. You can find it on YouTube, right?  I mean, that's how far we've gone with digitization. God knows what the next level, I'll leave that to your imagination. But automation, this is a big thing, think about your future. Anything that you do that's repetitive, that can be done in a logical way, can be replaced by software and is being replaced by software. Call centers, that's roughly globally about 8.5 million people. All the big call center companies are in the process of automating 90% of the calls. Only the tough calls go to a person. Bookkeepers, I know there's something like 25 million bookkeepers. Now the first software companies are appearing who are doing about 85, 90% of the work of a bookkeeper, filing and putting stuff in the right place. I mean, think about the changes there. That's both good and bad because of the work implication. But everything is moving to the cloud. In America, they have a word for this which I can't really say in public because it's not very elegant, right? So they call it by the cloud, right? Which basically means that as things move in the cloud, your whole business model changes. It becomes more competitive, cheaper. The cloud is changing all of these things. You may know about smart farming, for example. The possibility of connecting everything you do on a farm with a network and monitoring it. Leading to vast increased efficiency, intelligence, decision-making, planning. It has other side effects, of course, but that's what we're seeing here. Anticipation, the software can actually say, next week, you're going to need four times as many of these products because of what we've seen from the last four weeks, right? Because it can read all the context. IBM Watson is a big contender here. IBM Watson has a huge amount of activities in this term, medical, financial, prediction, all these kind of things about how that could work. IBM Watson, medical, for example, scans up to 500 million records of diseases and books that have come out about it while the doctor is using it in the hospital. This would be not humanly possible. So those are the big things and all of those have to do with ethics. We have to decide where do we want the machine, to sort of speak, to stop and to start? How far do we want to go? It's interesting, you know, when you may know about kids that have a problem with hearing, where they can't hear anything, they use a thing called the cochlear implant, right? Which is an implant that's in the ear, bypassing the ear completely and sending electronic signals to the brain directly. And this device has been around for a while. You have to practice for a year, but it works pretty well. About 500,000 people have this implant. Now, you can think a step further and say, well, which of us would like a Wikipedia implant? Instant knowledge that we can convey is technically not impossible. How far do we go with this? Those are questions that we have to ask. IBM has a new phrase. You have to check it out on YouTube again. It's actually kind of funny because IBM is a very technology-focused company and Ginny Rometti, the CEO, held a speech two weeks ago saying that every business now has to become a cognitive business, right? Has to become a business that understands data, right? And IBM, of course, is in the cognitive computing business now. Computers that think. That's the idea. I mean, this computer in here, right? Siri, Cortana, all of different very Google now, right? They think. The more you say to Siri, the more she knows about you, she analyzes your voice, keeps it in the cloud, compares you if you're drunk or German or both. Could happen, right? She knows all these things. So it's a mind-boggling change that we're seeing here. Great opportunities and IBM says, welcome to the cognitive era. I think this is a good headline. IBM or not. I mean, there's many other providers who do the same thing. But this is an idea, for example, in the legal business. Any lawyers in the room, yeah? Any lawyers? Okay, I haven't let you out yet. It's too early for the lawyers to go out there. But so in the legal business, you have a thing called legal discovery. When you do a lawsuit, you have to go out and check all the books and look at all the tracking of the history and then you decide if you're gonna go forward. That used to take maybe a hundred paralegals and three weeks of work. Now IBM Watson does this, a thing called ROS, which is an e-discovery engine. It takes 14 minutes to discover what kind of chances you'll have in this lawsuit, going through up to two billion records and books and court records. Imagine how that will change our world in the future. McKinsey says that roughly what we're looking at here is a $30 trillion opportunity based on big data, cloud computing, advanced robotics, the internet of things. That has, of course, tremendous possibilities of one of the big side effects is that it will take less people to do the work, right? I mean, that is an obvious side effect. So then we have to talk about what that means and this is Eric Schmidt from Google. Well, he didn't say this, I just put it on top here. Somebody from Google here? I apologize, one of my clients also. But what I think they're doing now is that Google is essentially building a kind of global brain, right? They are in fact building something that uses cognitive computing to decide for us. You probably are, some of you are G-mail, Google mail users, right? You know, the hottest thing in Google mail now is a new thing called inbox that came out maybe a year ago. The next thing is an artificial intelligence that responds to the email for you. Just launched two weeks ago. So you can set certain rules and the software will actually respond to the email for you. Like, you know, simple cases like setting up a meeting. So this is how far we already have gone to the global brain. One really important issue here is security. There are a lot of people saying that roughly 50, if not 60 or 70% of all military spending in the next five years will move towards cyber security. Cloud computing, artificial intelligence. I mean, this is a thing, of course, the more connected we are, the more we have to make sure that we're safe, right? Currently, we're not, right? As we know, we're not. There really is no rule, very few rules about privacy in our data. If you're a user of Google Facebook or Twitter or Baidu or whatever, you know, basically it's free for all at this point. So this is a very big discussion that without privacy, I think eventually that will be a very big issue for us. Again, it's not really visible in those slides right now, but it's one thing to have the whole world connected so that we can do business better and be more efficient, right? And, you know, go forward there. It's another thing to be constantly observed. We shouldn't necessarily trade one for the other. Or in many ways, technology, as you know, I think William Gibson said that technology is morally neutral until you apply it. And this is a very big challenge because technology can be very powerful and do good things or can do terrible things. For example, if I let Google handle all of my email, my calendar, my mobile, my maps, right? Google knows more about me than my wife. Well, a lot more, right? There's things you would never say now, if you're Googling for fungus nail or whatever, you know, bizarre diseases that you may think you have and stuff, right? I mean, imagine all that history of 10 years and all of the locations, right? And so what happens with that data? Who gets it? Who has control over this? Well, I can delete it, yes. I can try at least, it's hard to find, but it's possible. But is it really gone? Well, the answer is it's not. So there are many issues about this and this is a great quote from an Intel ad campaign, I think from 20 years ago, when Intel said, well, basically, it's a quote from Einstein saying that computers are incredibly fast, accurate and stupid. Well, that's no longer true today, right?  Human beings are incredibly slow, inaccurate and brilliant, to which I would add today, very expensive, right? Humans are expensive compared to computers, right? But the last sentence is the most important. Together, they are powerful beyond imagination. Our future is going to be a life with machines, based on machines, working with machines and figuring out what we do and what they do. And what they should not do. I should not allow my computer, for example, to decide who's going to live or die. Like the army, not a lot of army, military people, want drones that decide who to kill themselves without an operator. Those are all questions we're going to face in the near future. Kevin Kelly said from Wired Magazine, is that machines are for answers, humans are for questions. This is a very interesting future for business. Imagine that for a second, Ryan. You're going to make decisions on CRM or ERP or whatever you're doing with software. For your clients, the machines and the software will do a lot of work, but in the end, there's still a lot of questions and intuition and imagination that you will need. But you will definitely be better equipped to answer those questions by using technology. So the option of saying you don't use technology because you just want to ask questions, you know, that is a tough one. We have to synergize. There's a great company in the U.S. called IPsoft that do this, they have a, called a virtual digital agent, right? And this agent is essentially a replica of me. And I can use this agent called Emilia, also on YouTube, to do things for me, like she give me my executive assistant.  Software is free, doesn't need vacation, doesn't go on strike, you know? Doesn't get pregnant, whatever, none of those things, right? So you should watch the movie, they're actually quite serious about this. And there's a 50 or so startups that are looking for executive assistants to be robotics, right? Great quote that was related from this, you know. Albert Hubbard who said, one machine can do the work of 50 ordinary men. He said men, I put the woman in, right? But no machine can do the work of one extraordinary man. And that is our future in business. You wanna make money in the future, you have to be extraordinary. You have to use technology to be extraordinary, but that's not enough because everybody will do that. Everybody will use technology to be extra fast, extra quick, extra cheap, extra good. You have five years to figure this out because right now we're not really efficient, we're not fast, we're in the beginning of this. We have five years to make it efficient. But after that we have to be extraordinary. We have to be a brand, we have to have a purpose, we have to stand for something. And that's what technology is doing to us. Really interesting cover our time magazine last year. Headline was never offline. Well, there's only one problem with that, right? Humans need to sleep and contemplate and chew on things and go to the bathroom, right? I mean, think about all these things. This is not possible for us to be online the whole time. We would die very quickly. So finding that balance is going to be important in the future. In fact, now there's a new trend that's coming up in many areas of the society is offline is the new luxury, right?  Remember 10 years ago you went online, you thought it was great, right? In five years you'll be saying, well now this hotel is guaranteeing I cannot go online. Actually, there's the first hotels I worked with in Switzerland that are guaranteeing you that you cannot connect, right? There's no mobile network, no internet, that cost extra money for those parts of the hotel. I mean, it's interesting. And Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, right? He talks about privacy. He says it's basically a human right for privacy. And I agree with that.  You pay to be private. You can hate that, but that's the whole proposal. And the great quote from Christian Luzlang who said, technology is a useful servant by the dangerous master. So when you're rolling out technology in your company and to your clients, don't let it be the master, right?  So you have to figure out how to use technology for the human good, for the flourishing, right? Not for the data Fukushima, right? I mean, this is a scene from Fukushima, the nuclear power plant. We could very easily have a similar scenario, not with energy, but with data, right? 600 million health records being published, identity theft, right? Whole networks being shut down by cyber warfare. Data mining with a Y, right? I mean, many of you in the software business or in tech business, this is a huge trend, right? Data mining means I have control over the data. There's a company in Switzerland called Blackphone. They sell a private OS and a phone system that only works in an encrypted ways. So it's very expensive. You have to pay a flat rate for the calls and all that stuff, right? But it's basically the same idea. They're sold out for the next couple of years, the phones and the service. So this idea of people paying for privacy, data mining, that's becoming very important, at least in Europe, you know, to a large degree. That's a philosophy question. So I want to wrap this up with two comments and one is that I think we need to embrace technology that is inevitable. I don't think we have the option to reject technology because technology is something that we have invented after all, right, and we always have. And we can't really escape it. You can move to the Swiss mountains or the Amish country in America and even there will be difficult, right? So we have to embrace technology but we don't want to become technology. If you're in the tech business, your business really isn't technology, right? Your business is using technology to provide human benefits. So I think that's also in terms of our careers and your kids and going to school, that is ultimately what we need, right? People who understand technology but who are not becoming technology. That's another one of the discussions about efficiency now because every time I go somewhere for digital transformation, like if I speak to logistic companies or airlines. The primary thing that these companies want, I'm sure you understand, right, is they want to become hyper-efficient. So a call center company like Wipro that has 1.3 million employees, right? If they can fire 80% of their people and use software, right? Hey, that's a great margin improvement, right? But you know what? That is not the final destination. That's just one of the step in this destination towards what I call customer-like relationships, engagement, intelligence, right? Efficiency is only the first step of many. I had a nice animation here that I'll have to just give it to you like this, but this is a key question you have to ask yourself if you're in business and also of course for your own life, how will you respond to those exponential changes? Well, you happily slap the computer and embrace it like the picture on the right here, or will you get angry like the guy was in the animation? The chess player getting angry at being defeated by IBM, Big Blue? That's the question we have to ask. I think this is primarily an opportunity. I think we're actually extremely lucky that we get to live at the beginning of this period. I always say it's 90% positive and 10% dangerous, but we don't want the 10% to grow to 50%. So this requires regulation, it requires understanding and social contracts and ethical behavior, and looking a little bit further than just next quarter, I think if we're careful with this, we have the potential to generate some really powerful business here. For example, the solving of energy, employment. There's many people I have suggested that if we use technology to save jobs, then we should put some of the savings back into education. So for people to learn how to get other jobs. Otherwise we're facing a lot of social unrest. Maybe this is a message to your government, to your new government. So our final message is, I think this is very important that we both all start thinking about the future in a different way. We think about today, which in this animation here is basically compared to the energy business, today 95% of energy is coal and fossil fuel and nuclear. That is our current reality. Just like in banking, less than 1% of mortgages and loans are peer-to-peer from the users. But the future will be reversed. This year Shell Oil Company, for the first time of any major oil company four weeks ago, Shell Oil announced a transition plan from fossil fuel to renewable energy. This is the second biggest oil company in the world announcing that they will make a transition from oil to renewable. So if you want to do that, I think every company needs to do that and think about what is next. You have to think hybrid. You have to think of the current business because that's where the money is. You can't just stop doing it, or not at least completely. And then you have to think of a new business. It's a good exercise. You take this picture home and say, what is the oil business and my business and what is the electric business? Six years ago we had a workshop with the CEOs of a major German car company. I can't tell you which one, but I just say Dieselgate and you would know. And we talked about the future of the car business and we said, well, autonomous car, self-driving car, electric car, car sharing, right? We had laughter in the room, just laughter. That was only six years ago. Today the number one initiative of every car company in the world, right? Electric cars, autonomous cars, assisted driving. So if you can do hybrid thinking, I think then you're looking in the right direction. I just contributed to a really great book called The Future of Business. I wrote only one chapter in it, but it's still a good book. In fact, 62 people have written, 62 futurists have written in this book. It's 600 pages, so we can use it for self-defense if needed, right? Of course, not the e-book version, which is only 500K. But anyway, I recommend you check out this book because a lot of really powerful stuff. If you read this book, I guarantee you, you will never sleep again. Thanks very much for your kind attention.


Thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you very much. There should be a peak hole in that. Well, there is and I've never used it. I always think that I'm always coming in here and if I was interrupting either one of these lovely ladies here, then I'll go back and come in later. But it's very nice to be here and to be able to say hello to all of you. It's good in particular to see these two women who are very important in this administration, Elizabeth Dole and Catherine Ortega. But being here with broadcasters reminds me of my own background in broadcasting. I was thinking on the way in here of how I first discovered something you already know about, the power of the sponsor. I first started out in the air at WOC, WHO, Davenport and Des Moines, Iowa. And this was back during the depression in the early 30s. And I remember one night I was on duty there as an announcing and evening show girl. Show came up late in the evening. It was a program of organ music that was piped in from a local mortuary. And I noticed down there in the schedule that in the middle of all of this music that I then made a big plug for this mortuary. I don't know who's anxious to go to one, but anyway, I was to make the plug with nobody told me about the business arrangement. And it just, I thought it was just a way of being polite and I thought somebody's just dead wrong. My dramatic instinct rebelled at the idea of mentioning a mortuary right after you'd heard drinking to the only with mine eyes. So I didn't do the plug and the sponsor was not amused. Management decided to replace me with a local teacher and even had me showing him the ropes. And then he didn't understand the realities of broadcasting either. He asked for a contract. So he left town and I stayed with the radio station. I'm not divulging any state secrets when I say the National Association of Broadcasters is a very important group. The members of your organization, I think in formless, entertain us, tell us what's happening in the world. In a democracy that's a great public service. And I know that all of you are very busy this election year, attempting to inform voters on what the issues are about and encouraging them to vote. And that's very important. We're in a democracy only an informed citizenry can make the right choices. 1984 will be an historic election year. The issues are big and clear cut. They were in 1982, but this year the facts of the election I think are a little different. That's because the facts of our national life are a little different. Four years ago, in my opinion, America was in a kind of decline going from strength to weakness both at home and abroad. Inflation was 12.4%. The interest rates were 21.5% and unemployment was rising. A foreign government was holding our diplomats hostage and America standing in the world was very low.  America has come alive again with energy, progress and hope. Today inflation is less than 4%. Interest rates have fallen. Our industrial base is stronger and more competitive. More jobs are being created in the United States than in any other major industrialized country. Maybe that's why the people are more confident about the future than at any time in the last several years. Change hasn't come easy, but I feel that the programs we've put in place and the philosophies behind them have been somewhat vindicated in these last four years. Now that's my point of view. Now you may not agree, but it seems to me the challenge for you as your stations and networks cover the personalities and issues of this election year is to take into account the new realities America is immersed in, explain them as best you can and give us as far as possible a reading of these events. I think that it must be very hard to be a journalist and to try if you're really professional to remove your own views from the reporting of the news to keep your opinions separate from the facts and events that you're reporting. That's a great challenge and I'm always impressed by those who meet it. I had some experience in that when I was a sports announcer. They didn't have one announcer that belonged to the team hired by the team and broadcasting the games and therefore he could be partisan. They had at least a dozen of us broadcasting major league baseball the same games on the same day and so you had to be absolutely impartial and since you were following one team it became increasingly difficult to be impartial and so I know something of the strain when your own personal likes and dislikes get involved with what has to be said but I do want to compliment the NAB for its help in the campaign against drunk driving. Yesterday I was in New Jersey. I visited a high school there that has a drunk driving awareness program that is simply sensational and the people there really made it clear that they as citizens consider drunk driving to be a national menace and they're prepared to do a great deal to stop it and your part in that campaign is timely and needed and most appreciated. It was a wonderful thing in a high school gymnasium with the students present the townspeople and the parents and the teachers all present to see them all the way including the kids united on this campaign and the Governor Tom Kane was there and he has done a remarkable job I think that New Jersey may possibly be a leader in the nation at this moment in the actions that have been taken on that and on trying to stop the slaughter of teenagers in alcohol related accidents. It was a truly inspiring day but now and again I thank you for the part that broadcasting is playing in that particular program but now I'm going to quit talking because I would like to introduce a woman who has been leading the drunk driving effort for this administration. I should reword that a woman who's been leading the effort to impress upon us the hazards and dangers of drunk driving our secretary of transportation Elizabeth Doe. Yes indeed, good to see you today.


Thanks Tom and it's it's really great to be here at the NDF. I've always kind of followed it from a periphery but I'm actually attended a conference but I feel like there's been a lot of material that really relates to my work as an artist and so yeah it's Tom said I'm doing a PhD in Fine Arts at Messie University College of Creative Arts and although the booklet says that I'm here with the Altera Digital Arts Network which I am a member of and it's fantastic I'm officially here as a Messie University student. So I'm a qualified artist I have a Bachelor of Fine Arts with honours and have been making art that relates to the internet and internet culture and new technologies for about the last 10 years and so I'll just quickly run through a few previous projects that have kind of led to this so hopefully it kind of puts it in perspective of where I'm coming from so this is one of the first projects I did in my graduate year of studying which was a series of drawings of pencil on paper that kind of was seeking to represent some stories that I'd encountered online back in 2005 that kind of occupied this this territory of being believable not believable this kind of you know truth or fiction and and I thought it's kind of quite interesting that there were all sorts of urban myths and legends coming onto the internet presented as fact and in a largely kind of unmediated environment of course now we've got things like Wikipedia that are a bit more well-pair reviewed and reputable but at the time you know there was a quite a strong anti-internet resource message coming from lecturers and at the University I was studying it because there was a sense of distrust of what was online there so I've got things up here like these drawings by a Japanese guy well the crystals by a Japanese guy who would stick these words on bottles of water and claim that they changed the chemical makeup of the water depending on whether it was a positive method or a negative message the human still down here the Mars rover and this is a time machine that was available for sale on trade me and then I moved that that project kind of set off a few copyright questions for me that I kind of didn't really manage to answer as a student and it led me into this series which was in response to the fleet of icebergs that had drifted up from Antarctica to the coast of the South Island and I was really interested in this but due to financial concerns couldn't travel down to see them at the time even though Shrek got to visit them and so I set about to search images of the ice beams online from media resources and then tried to recreate those in my flat with household objects in a sheet and then took photos of those and digitally read them and then printed those and then my drawings from those and I kind of thought that's got to be enough kind of derivative process to avoid copyright infringement right so so I made this and I thought it went pretty well but yeah this is now in the Wellington City Council collection which is quite cool and then it kind of turned into getting involved in the political debate about copyright and I was one of two people who founded the Creative Freedom Foundation to represent New Zealand artists in the copyright debate here there was a particular law section 92 ways you want to remember that yeah this thing so yeah we did that and and then I got into making 3d printing and using Creative Commons and kind of starting to give my work back to the internet community and start to release and let go of it so yeah I spoke a bit about this on Monday there'll be some video of that online so I won't talk too much made a proposal for a colony on Mars Pioneer City Pioneer-City.com that's still where you can check it out and yes some more kind of 3d printing projects and yeah through the CFS stuff people often assume that I was a lawyer which is quite interesting I kind of certainly read a lot of law and sounded maybe like a new what I was talking about and and people still asked me for copyright advice but I've kind of got to say I got nine iron problems but I would agree anyone you know passed but those of you who are familiar with JZ's black album but I did end up studying some copyright law through Harvard University which is the Facebook coast of mine that's got the most likes when I said that I got into it. So that was completely online free but really amazing content through edX which is a massive open online course and that I studied when I was at home maternity leave with a two-month-old which is slightly ridiculous but really really great content and they're actually offering this course again next year they're taking applications right now so if you're interested in copyright and reading and engaging with a community online it's really well structured you can have weekly tutorial video meetings with your tutorial group so I found that really quite useful in terms of understanding things a bit more and then this is a kind of another part of my life which is you know crazy trying to try to be a serious artist with that kind of thing going on. So this is part of this project this PhD which I started in June-July middle of this year so I'm quite early on but it started with this rather kind of comprehensive project to restore a mural that's connected to the Southern Cross Cable and so I'm just going to talk about how it kind of came about because it's quite a crazy story. So early last year I was invited by Letting Space who are a Wellington based public art commissioning group, independent group who are really interested in projects that are socially engaged and engaging communities and kind of operating outside of institutional kind of traditional models and we'd actually done the Piney City project to get that put on a real estate showroom for this property on Mars in downtown Wellington and an empty retail store earlier and they asked me to put a proposal forward for a project with JWT, John W. Thompson who are an international advertising firm with an office in downtown Auckland. So JWT had approached Letting Space and said we've got this glass cabinet that's you know one wall of our boardroom. It looks through to the offices we're interested in having some interesting art in there and we'll give you some money to commission three projects and so Letting Space went yep sounds interesting and we're interested in engaging with the kind of business community and you know corporate environments but it has to have some kind of public aspect to it and so invited me and I thought it's really interesting it's quite a challenge of how to make it an artwork that's kind of as corporate and you know consumer culture as it gets but then trying to engage the local community and yeah the public in some regard and I had heard about the Southern Cross cable during research for earlier projects and had wanted to make a project around it and this was an opportunity to do something in Auckland which is where the cable lands and so I kind of proposed something something along those lines and so the Southern Cross cable network is New Zealand's primary internet connection with the rest of the world it carries roughly 98% of our international internet traffic it goes out at Takapuna Beach physically under the sand it's about this thick lies along the seabed all the way up to Hawaii over to the states where it loops around comes back through Hawaii, Fiji, Sydney and then into New Zealand on the other side at Murawai Beach so submarine cables aren't anything particularly new some people you know think that satellite communications quite big but you know light is the fastest thing that we know and so it's definitely the most efficient way of communicating that we've got so far so there are many many submarine fiber networks around the world but New Zealand has this one network so you can kind of see it in the blue in this diagram here which is from SubmarineCableMap.com which is a frequently updated map of I guess publicly known submarine cables there is a grey line connecting to New Zealand and that's a proposed cable that's the Hawaii cable which hasn't actually been laid or yet finalised and then there's a secondary grey cable from Murawai to Sydney which is the Tasman Global Connect which I think may be laid next year and we have the Tasman 2 cable which is primarily to telephone so internet sub the Southern Cross Cable is it basically so so I kind of carried on researching and I came across this article quite quickly where the WikiLeaks published a document of 300 sites the US would be quite worried about if they were damaged because it might affect their you know operations and the sites that were listed under New Zealand there were sites for New Zealand and the two landing sites of the Southern Cross Cable that was it that was like there's New Zealand there Southern Cross Cable that's that's all we really care about so at this point I kind of started to get a little bit paranoid and they've been these kind of waves of paranoia surveillance through this project but you know and Kiwi star I thought well you know let's just let's just kind of get on with it and it's all public information anyway and so and so then I started to try and find out where you know the geographical locations of the landing site for Takapuna because I decided to focus on that that beach in particular for JWT and leading space and I found the landing station so the cable lands at Takapuna Beach and it comes in land kind of under the pavement rows basically and then comes up and is you know dispersed within these landing stations so I did a good little bit of citizen surveillance and found this image so the the complex is there's the yellow building and then the building next door and then there's kind of the third building above those and there's a big fence around those and that's that and so went to JWT and said I want to do a project something to do with the Southern Cross Cable and they said cool that sounds interesting but tell us more so I went on a site visit up to Auckland in August last year and early morning flight had this amazing view over Rangitoto and Takapuna like the Hurricane Gulf where the cable actually is under the water there somewhere on the right here is a map from Lin's which is I think yeah open access public data of the Hurricane Gulf cable protection area which is actually a legally protected site where boaties can't anchor or fish so it's kind of an unofficial marine environment but yeah I don't know that it exactly operates like that but they kind of started bringing up these interesting narratives of maritime culture and you know the internet and internet and nets and piracy and you know fishing there's all these kind of interesting connections with maritime language and digital it's interesting so there's something forming there and then we visited Takapuna Beach there's a sign on the beach there warning people of the cable that's it there kind of quite nice you know she visited the beach early this year and there's a family sitting kind of right underneath the post making sandcastles and I thought you know it's such a great kind of kiwi moment of kids digging up potentially our primary communication source I mean New Zealand so and then we went inland to see the the landing station so yeah so this is it high security what's really what really struck me about this is that there's no signage at all like it's completely devoid of signage almost to the point of you know being conspicuous because that so yeah I found that quite interesting and just kind of took a few photos from the outside and was worried about a security guard coming up but that didn't happen and yeah that was kind of took photos and and got away and we're back to Wellington and JWT wanted kind of three more proposals of what the project might be for the Cabinet and so I came up with three ideas the first was to do a sort of reading room collating all of this research information I've been finding about the cable where people could come and you know like spend time in the cabinet kind of under surveillance of the office staff but then you know having access to this potentially quite yeah controversial information and the second proposal was to to get a couple of snapper fish as office pets and you know potentially name one John Key and one Kim.com but you know it was very early stage proposal and have that in this kind of you know fish tank glass cabinet thing which you know probably wouldn't have worked with the budget but and the third one was to do some kind of office game with the staff where I would install a fishing dragnet and then send images on a kind of weekly basis that would kind of slowly piece to get the lucky jigsaw puzzle to form this image and you know perhaps the office staff could take turns at choosing what coordinates they wanted for that week and there'll be this kind of exchange and this unveiling project that would you know change over time and hopefully be interesting for the people who work there every day and so JBLT were kind of interested in that in that kind of project but wanted to know more about what the image might be and so yes I went away I was like oh you know all sorts of things and then this image came through from Nicole Starazowski who's an academic at New York University in the kind of media communication area and has been researching the spatial politics of cable landing sites internationally and we'd been in conversation about these things and he actually happened to email me asking if I had a photo of the mural on the inside of the Takapuna cable station which was the first I'd heard of it and I went oh my goodness that could be my image and so I emailed Southern Cross Cables to see if I could go and just access the station and then they put me on to Telecom now Spark who said oh yes not in the Southern Cross Cable Station in the compact building and yeah Mike McGraw the cable manager came back saying there's no longer a mural at the cable station many years ago there was a ceramic mural which was on the entrance wall which is on the same site this mural started to deteriorate and fall apart so it was removed and so you know I asked him if he had any documentation and he said you know not sure there's not many people around that would know about this or have photos so I went to archives in Wellington and searched the mural and found this this wee image which was about that big on a kind of a four of the mural in 1975 installed in the cable station and I was struck by the colours by the fact that it was an image of Maui fishing up the North Island which I thought was incredibly kind of relevant in terms of what I'm trying to do and JWT we talked about this this this story of Maui fishing up the North Island as being a potential cultural connection for the image so it was kind of like a jackpot moment so that's the back of the record I found this newspaper article as well archives which had a really interesting quote from the artist a move in Taylor who was a Wellington based artist very amazing talented man who did a lot of illustrations for the school journals and was he was kind of part of this modernist movement in New Zealand trying to develop a national language kind of beyond our colonial heritage and the visual arts and it was very interested in Maori culture and illustrating that and engaging with that as a Pakeha artist and so so he said here when asked if he had any special reason for selecting this particular myth for the cable Mr Taylor explained that the myth of fishing up a piece of land was a poetical Polynesian way of describing the discovery of a new island there was an analogy he thought between the fishing up of New Zealand by Maui and its modern counterpart with a new cable again draws New Zealand out of the Pacific and into the telephone systems of the world so I kind of had this really kind of grand feeling to it and and you know the similar kind of emotions I was having reactions to the Southern Cross cable and so got a back in touch with telecom saying that it found an image of the mural and asking where these tiles might be and he went and had a look in the compact station which is now disused and found them in boxes so then I went on a site visit went inside the station this time this is the the plaque on the entrance showing John Keith Holyoke opening the compact station in 1962 so the compact cable there was the Commonwealth Pacific cable it was a telephone cable that linked Commonwealth countries kind of in the aftermath of World War two so it linked Australia New Zealand Fiji I think as they stopped over in Hawaii they went Canada Scotland and so kind of kind of this like five-eyes network which is interesting in other way that's the wall that the mural was on the boxes so in various states of repair there was this weird black cement that yeah we think might have been roofing cement something was very needed but a cleaning up and another really interesting thing that the landing station staff told me was that people used to be able to just walk into this foyer off the street and it was when it opened in 1962 it was run by the New Zealand post office which was a government department and there was a visitor's book that people could sign as they came in and so they showed me this it's still in the in the station and office and an adjacent building and so yeah so it's going on for a while the entries kind of trail off around 1990 so really selective history of cables so in 1876 New Zealand's first major international submarine telecommunications cable system opened laid between Sydney and Cable Bay and Nelson so this was quite a defining moment because before then you know they've been quite a delay in our communication with the rest of the world this is an image from from Digital New Zealand oh really five minutes okay this is an asset that I've made on Digital New Zealand anyway of people dragging things on beaches compact opened in 1962 in 1982 the ends can cable was laid as a replacement so then compact wasn't used the Labour government got into office in 1984 and split the New Zealand post office into three state-owned assets creating telecom who took over management of the cable station and then in 1990 telecom was privatised and sold off and so at that point the cable station and the mural had kind of done this full 360 from being a public resource into being completely private and then there were future cables and then the Southern Cross cable came along in 1999 and it follows the exact same infrastructure route as compact and it's actually in the building right next door and so then we had to do this into an art project and telecom really great and they let us bring the tiles down to Wellington we had some conservation advice on how to best restore them and then staged a number of working bees to actually clean up the tile and this is Sarah Taylor even Taylor's granddaughter in the manager of his estate they've been really supportive of this project been amazing and then even Taylor's daughter-in-law there so we did these working bees it's my dad and my brother kind of friends and family Kerry and Lee was there you know it's just it was really great kind of lots of record-keeping this is the kind of one example of the state we had to clean them up and then taking individual photos in the photography department at Massey have been also very helpful and then assembling two copies kind of a quarter-size copies of the mural one on a dragnet in my studio so I could track how it was going and another at the JWT offices I would post them tiles on a kind of weekly basis so they could assemble their own so the dragnet yeah it's kind of responding in a subtle way to the Edward Snowden debate was going on at the same time we talked about dragnet surveillance and I think again tapping into that that narrative that kind of maritime narrative and you know of course this went on as well Southern Cross Cable this year and you know just want to know that I was using the postal system as a point of kind of testing out other communication techniques so that's JWT and then we also released all the images online under a Creative Commons attribution license so they're up for download on my website right now and we did four releases kind of monthly releases so the image kind of look like this sometimes and then that's the final image with 16 missing tiles that were just simply not there so there's the installation at JWT quite an interesting image of the back installed and they're really quite thrilled with it and so we're at now which maybe you guys can help some of the tiles are chipped and need repair so I'm needing to find hold find a conservator who can help clean those up and there are 16 missing tiles I need to find a ceramicist who has the skills to make replacements there's this painting in the Te Papa collection the lovely Megan Tamati Konawa's showing us in this image which is also a need of a bit of restoration which they've said they will do if there's an exhibition so if anyone's interested in talking about an exhibition with these various works come and talk to me and I'm working with Spark and a few others to find a permanent installation site for the full mural on an ongoing basis and really interested in talking to someone from Takapuna Library which sits on the strand right atop where the cable comes in and beyond that I'll be working and moving into doing a separate project for the mural I end as part of my PhD so if anyone's got any kind of interesting research tips around that part of the country please talk to me I'd really like to find a natifato a connection who can perhaps you know his knowledge in this kind of particular area of internet culture and issues to help talk about some of the land-based connections I'm going to go to the National Arcos in Canberra they've got a huge collection and then funding stuff and maybe scuba diving so that's me thank you yeah I'll just say as well that I'm I have with me here today a DVD of footage of the landing the cable landing on Takapuna Beach in 1999 that the Southern Cross cable people sent me so I might see about playing some of that in the break but it's probably not time here now yeah she'll be here obviously afternoon tea is about so maybe if we just move to our message yeah thanks for coming thank you


YouTube what's up man this is game 2 against Fancy for the $50 a piece lost the first one man You guys watched that it was a great game That's why I had to keep uploading the second one and we got this one to 200 likes So I'm gonna go ahead and upload this second one for you guys First play you guys know he made things rough for me.  That's what we do here, man Any offense defense special teams you see can be found a link below But right there we cannot find the ball below as Shawn Taylor hits sticks Michael Vic the blast is really tough But that is the downside man if you run into those big hitters you will drop the ball But if you like any offensive defense or special teams You can find man turf calm as fancy finds a wheel route to Chris Johnson Dion Jones is a monster, but he's not gonna be able to stay with Chris Johnson on that wheel route If fancy has the time right there At the time was able to lob it up hit me for the touchdown. So I'm down 7-0 real quick But we're gonna keep fighting Right here. We go for the post route and Dion Sanders jumps that the Hester man I have not seen and this is one of the biggest plays is Mitchell sports my stick work to make sure Dion doesn't get in The end zone and so if you get the stick work to keep the on out of the end zone You got to hold the door right bang Dion Jones Dion on the backfield on Tyreek Hill get him to a third down goes for the draw We're gonna get outside. He's gonna try to fight but bar and Shazir hold him back out of the end zone So we hold him to three. We got the ball first But somehow we're down 10 nothing in the first three minutes of the game But if you guys watch this YouTube or watch me live on Twitch, we're gonna fight and Michael Vic fights up the middle Little blast next play we're getting out of bounds and we're gonna find Mr. Hester and that's going to the bar When they do this all out blitzing man, sometimes you hit them up top They can't run with the 99 speed receivers. It seems like I said, I got Hester got hill and I got Tory Holt right now Why receiver so we strike back we get a touchdown on the board one week down three now, but playing good defense Get not giving up too many big plays He's gonna pepper me with this play the kiddo He found this is probably his best play that he can run to get some yards here It's just that that post the kiddo everything else is pretty much bagged as just Davion Clowney gets to the quarterback Here he goes again. Oh, there he is again. Mr. Clowney. So I got Cox up the middle Clowney kind of on a contain most of the time That's how we come around as clown three sacks and one drive for just Davion Clowney huge job by him getting fancy Of the field so right now we get back rolling down by three Blasting that ass up the middle one thing about this one for six if you guys play against a man It's really a pain in the ass to pass against So I'm gonna blast you and one thing fancy doesn't have is any enforcers, you know He's got a lot of cap on offense a lot of route chems So you see right there I can run right at Dion Sanders right at who's at radio calil Mac I really don't care Sean Taylor kind of has built in enforcer So he's the one that touches me from time to time But I'm right at these guys this time I actually get outside get tackled we had the two-minute warning So Vick is plenty fresh. We're gonna keep peppering them. We get into field all rains nice tackle there by Dion We're in field arrange feeling good mixing a little inside zone here really trying to run against the 146 That's was good against the black about the blast and The inside zone as I hit the little delay route under here to Chris Johnson out of four verse get to a third And sure and you know we do on third and show we run up the middle Yeah, we stumble but we got enough stick to stand back up for myself and getting to the end zone Michael Vick So that was a heavy dose of blast You know guys try to get them out of that 146 so it makes it a little easier for us to pass We don't have to deal with those DB's running around the outside There goes Anthony bar going to get the quarterback I'd use bar and clowny it ends mostly because they're big bodies as we see kiddo We see kiddo kiddo is going to be a focal point of this game He's a focal point of fancy's offense probably the best part of fancy's offense and that's um Trips tight end as you guys see them running the well.  Kiddo. There he is again this post route He uses a hitch to hold down the yellow zones and those this post and I believe he has post flag elite on kiddo So he's not going to drop the ball if he gets his hands on it This play is killing me, but it's not a I don't as right there for people around him He just guesses it he went right down the field with his play But it's not and I need to change my defense type of play if that makes any sense to you guys, man I it's not it's it's hurting me, but it's not back breaking It's kind of punching me in the face But it's not the one-play touchdown and we gotta do a little bit better job on that post route figure I was only gonna put out there cuz he's really killing my cover too with that But we'll get to as we get by Sean Taylor and we're gonna take Michael Vic We're gonna hit him with a little fake stop and go right here who? Kind of up for it didn't get the angle and I fumble and it's recovered in the end zone. Just absolutely brutal after an 80 yard run to fumble like that But like I said that whoo as I almost get to click on pick with clowny. That's the downside of the blast It's great. I've leaned on it's been at 90% of my offense this whole game and who I need see more to touch that football But I mean you will fumble with Michael Vick and you got to live with that as Fletcher Cox big Cox Gets the quarterback. We have power specialists on Fletcher Cox probably the best budget card in the game Catch the punting bounds will have to got get a field get as much as we can. We are down by three We are gonna leave on a blast. Oh, and we fumble again. That's three fumbles for Vic, man Like I said, this is the best part of offenses. We see a little drop right there for Kittle But it does have a huge negative. There we go blocking everybody run out Vic Vic right now for me is currently 300 cap his escape artist as we try a little jet-touch pass. He's all over it He has escape artists roaming that I and fast break as we see the fast break put the work here But whoo champ Bailey grabs Vic pulls him back Little more fast break when I see the on Sanders, I'm running right into him He's not gonna cause a fumble. We just got to be afraid of that man number 21 Sean Taylor Here we go second and eight words want to get outside Cut back inside with Vic man. He's just a lightning rod 301 cap about I put the ball in his hands every single play on scrambles passes blast is Everything man, so it's definitely worth it for me to have that so we go up for We got two minutes drive on defense man And what that means is let Fletcher Cox eat as he does right there And I've been using the corner later in this game and whoa big-time catch right there by fancy Hester in front of Seahorn, but that's the two-minute warning I'm gonna let this play out not gonna edit no more talk to you guys what I'm thinking about This game is insanely different with the runoff I know a lot of you guys play mutt and mutt doesn't have the runoff But between every play in the two-minute one you're gonna lose 10 to 15 seconds So it's really hard to go downfield Without in this situation, so you got keep things in front of you Hopefully keep him in bounds right there and they let him get out so the clock stops He has all three timeouts, but the clock time really is still a factor So I like to really play safe in these situations make people burn up that clock burn through their timeouts So instead of running cover to which I had pretty much every snap I want to start putting Seahorn in the deep third and put a quarter on the outside Just like that essentially cover deep middle. I can't you can't run a streak down a little field and things of that nature So that's pretty much what I want to do I'm not gonna give him a big play Lurk the whole left side if he wants to keep going at post the kiddle It's gonna take one of his timeouts or it's gonna take 30 seconds on the clock So long as I don't give a play over 20 yards I'm feeling pretty good about this defense and that's my goal right now as we get a scream right there Doesn't get away from but I go get Michael Vickie actually had agile extender on Vic If you guys play mutt that allows him to break the sack of a DB right away the first time 47 got to get off the field man Definitely want to get my DB to come free again I'm honestly most of time I don't care about him missing a sack because most of time You'll find he'll knock the neck the next guy will come knock him down Where we go?  I got the left side We put a third in the middle a quarter on the left side He's gonna open motion over what happens is I touched my corner So he's not gonna run with him and he's able to snap though this for a first down Just just know once you touch your corners They won't move on motions or all the bulls and it's just frustrating because I almost forgot that I touched them But that's okay. We're in the same situation still hasn't used any his timeouts in his cross midfield So we're not doing the best we let him at that route We let him run out of bounds with a quarterback. We let him hit What else they hit a running background got out of bounds. So a Lot of different things and we see him just come free there this little agile extender Hopefully keep him in balance that little agile extender really is killing me I mean he breaks every sack from Denzel Ward. We're right off the bat I don't know if I can get a safety there. Maybe maybe some better tackle rating or something But Vic is definitely killing with that As you guys know it the 146 is a DB's blitzing So it's gonna be tough if you have an ability that makes them sacked Up clown. He's not gonna break clowny sack But if you have an ability where you can break the sack of a DB right away That's pretty tough and fancy has that Clock is really running as you see 30 seconds. He probably should have used the timeout right there Especially having all three please want to snap a play right here Look to go top, but we can't get the ball. I feel like doing so much traffic right there Sean Taylor can't come down with it same thing fourth in two We have right here like I can let him get the first down almost you don't got to overplay it man Cuz he still needs a touchdown. So for me, I'm like, alright, let me I'll just keep running the same defense Man, if you want to throw a hitch if you want to throw something underneath you can have it almost You know right here. I let him throw the drag boom. It was a different play that he's ran in a while But I let him complete. That's cool. He has to use a timeout 18 seconds two timeouts You know, I'm just gonna keep playing over the top playing over the top playing over the top Move Sean Taylor down. So I don't get what they seem got to worry about kiddo I really don't want them catching up a kiddo route But as you know, I'm kind of the cloud flat on the left side So I have to use it a whole left-sided field So I can't really run across the field with kiddo because I'll leave her running back will open I'll leave a slant open. I have to guard pretty much from where my user is now to the sideline underneath I'm gonna let my mid revert hooks everything else guard the right side But that's also what's been killing me with this this kiddo post He goes kiddo on the corner row. So I feel good. I feel fine. There's nothing to throw kiddo is is The he's the one in this formation. We he's down to 12 seconds. It's still a two timeouts Actually, as I look back on this, he really managed this clock really bad Definitely should have called a timeout after a couple of plays. He was in bounds, especially after that sack Same thing. Here we go 12 yard line goes up top the kiddo and see where it's too far back gets it to the eight yard line, man I'm rough right now because I feel like I has two plays right here. Now. I've dropped back in coverage every time You guys watch both of these games.  So I snuck that in now Obviously now this is where the chest match a man comes in. Am I going to blitz him again? He's probably thinking now I drop into coverage So I'm thinking let me send the pressure at him again You know, he's going to want to send out every wide receiver Just add more options to throw to down here inside the 10 yard line It's tough to score here with only a couple wide receivers So he's going to send out all five, you know, and I bliss last drive I know he's not going to expect me to blitz this play two plays in a row and I do Get a lot of pressure off the edge and there he is Anthony Barr Bagging things up right there Inside the 10 yard line. That's just the thought of the last two minute drive Make them use time make them get their back up against the wall. He didn't execute best Make people do everything to beat you man. He's still a great passer man He really is if you guys don't know fancy man, check them out on twitch I believe his twitch is the same name as his gamertag But he's one of the best players this year man. He's won plenty of fns And and just really enjoy playing against him. It's really a chess match And I appreciate you guys hitting and watching the video man If you want to see more money games hit that like button
