Avete mai dimenticato la luce accesa? | Pasquale Longo | TEDxTorino


when I arrived in Turin now

ten years ago I discovered that turin was

a really beautiful city

it was a city full of culture it was one

city ​​in which there were places

fantastic to visit and one of these

places in particular has become a

the appointment fixture fixed

Saturday morning

I’m talking about the baloon the balloon is a

magical place a place where you

crossing stories cultures people is a

place also where I bought a lot of

unimaginable objects and every Saturday

I was coming home with a new object

unlikely to put in my room

at some point the room has become

too small

because the objects were really too many

in that room so I asked for help

my brother architect and I asked him

but because we do not build a bed a

mezzanine

after three days I had my new bed

in mezzanine

it was beautiful large and comfortable in design

there was only one problem with the switch

to turn off the light was really far away

from that bed every night before going

to bed

I just had to turn off the light and

then go to sleep every time

evening I was in bed and forgot about

turn off the light

I had to get off the light then

and going back to bed this evening is gone

forward for a few months

I remember that one evening I thought well it would be

really interesting to be able to switch off

this light from my smartphone connect

somehow that switch

physical that I had to touch with

the finger to my cell phone

so I thought I could put it to good use

some years those studies

I had done at the Polytechnic and then

I designed a device that was

small enough to be

inserted inside the boxes

electric and right next to the

physical switches but that same

object would have allowed

to the physical switch of being

checked by my smartphone just a little

later I realized that in that

same time I had not solved mine

problem of turning off the lights from the bed

but I had solved the problem of

many people who have always had

dreamed of having a smart home but not

they’ve never done it because today is a

difficult and expensive process often

requires a complete renovation

the whole house

I instead starting from that switch

and giving him the intelligence with a

device I was able to connect it to

my smartphone

today this device has become here

my work and today we have inserted

all these devices inside

of the stage lights and in the spirit of

te dx in particular of this event

in the spirit of cooperation of this

event the licks torino with scenographies

I’m all together

all this event so I ask you to

all 50 among the public they have

received the opportunity during the check

in to control the stage lights of

turn on your cell phones open

the app that was given to you and prove i

mobile phones to the whole public to make you

identify thanks to it I ask for

favor to direct all of them off

these lights

and I ask you about the audience you can

operate these stage lights of

turn on the light number one

well there is someone with light 5 and 4 e

this light two we are almost there

ok I see the light one on there is someone

but what ‘s fun is that

light two

here is the light four ok we turn on the

light two now we turn on the light three

yes, the light 4 is the light 5

[Music]

now we complicate the game a little bit

now we turn on the light 5 minus 35 minus

three from we are 5 minus 3 it’s easy no

there is still some undecided on 3 15 on the

4 5

we are doing 5 minus 3 the result of

5 while it’s simple

ok, most of us got there

two

someone says 3

[Laughs]

ok, let’s do a majority with 25

Thousand 32 excellent ok let’s complete one more

things happen

let’s move to 2×2

let’s turn on the light we are there

almost all from the last undecided

on the luiss number two for 24 sec

someone thinks of someone passing by

at 2 we are at 4 the majority has

said 42 for 24 excellent and we go forward

[Applause]

now we turn on the lights 24 24 2 and 4 2

and 4 great they understood me the game well

and now very simple now

we turn on the lights square roots of

152 million 399 thousand to zero 25

the public of questions or maybe

we went a little further

let’s come back with something simpler

square root of 9 13 square of non

he is blind as undecided on four seconds

me here 4 in the square 9 is a little bit cramped

true maybe someone says 23

many say 3 ok all perfect

agree roots speak of name we are at

3 2 to 0 now we turn on 2 to 0 who yes

remember against 20 boys we are

almost zero 2 zerouno

fantastic

[Applause]

it’s okay anyway guys the root

square of 152 million 399 thousand to zero

25 was easy from the square root of

this number is simply 12345 1 2

3 4 and 5

okay guys it was beautiful

Now let it go you do it

set lighting turn off these

lights as you wish

[Applause]
