hi everybody thank you for being here

hi everybody thank you for being here and let me just share a bit of what I’ve

and let me just share a bit of what I’ve

and let me just share a bit of what I’ve done over my years in terms of trying to

done over my years in terms of trying to

done over my years in terms of trying to inspire the youth on how you’re living a

inspire the youth on how you’re living a

inspire the youth on how you’re living a much better world and what he can do to

much better world and what he can do to

much better world and what he can do to make it even better so I wasn’t an issue

make it even better so I wasn’t an issue

make it even better so I wasn’t an issue peace ambassador for singularity

Silicon Valley it was set up in 2009 by

Silicon Valley it was set up in 2009 by this by two people peter de mendez and

this by two people peter de mendez and

this by two people peter de mendez and records will whom i’ll speak about in

records will whom i’ll speak about in

records will whom i’ll speak about in the short while so Peter Diamandis is

the short while so Peter Diamandis is

the short while so Peter Diamandis is most famous for running the XPrize he

most famous for running the XPrize he

most famous for running the XPrize he basically wanted to go to space when he

basically wanted to go to space when he

basically wanted to go to space when he was a kid but he’s not really tall and

was a kid but he’s not really tall and

was a kid but he’s not really tall and NASA you know would not be able to

NASA you know would not be able to

NASA you know would not be able to accept him so he thought of another way

accept him so he thought of another way

accept him so he thought of another way of going to space how about making it

of going to space how about making it

of going to space how about making it cheap enough that people can actually go

cheap enough that people can actually go

cheap enough that people can actually go to space so he run the XPrize and said

to space so he run the XPrize and said

to space so he run the XPrize and said that anybody who has an idea that can

that anybody who has an idea that can

that anybody who has an idea that can essentially send a space spacecraft

essentially send a space spacecraft

essentially send a space spacecraft 100 kilometers of a sea-level Len and

100 kilometers of a sea-level Len and

100 kilometers of a sea-level Len and fly again within two weeks will win ten

fly again within two weeks will win ten

fly again within two weeks will win ten million dollars it did this without

million dollars it did this without

million dollars it did this without actually raising the money and somebody

actually raising the money and somebody

actually raising the money and somebody actually won so he struggled and but

actually won so he struggled and but

actually won so he struggled and but then Richard Branson came along and said

then Richard Branson came along and said

then Richard Branson came along and said he would buy the rights to it and now

he would buy the rights to it and now

he would buy the rights to it and now you’re gonna have space Galactic Virgin

you’re gonna have space Galactic Virgin

you’re gonna have space Galactic Virgin space cat I think getting fly probably

space cat I think getting fly probably

space cat I think getting fly probably at end a year and it has brought down

at end a year and it has brought down

at end a year and it has brought down the cost of setting somebody to space

the cost of setting somebody to space

the cost of setting somebody to space from 200 from 20 million dollars through

from 200 from 20 million dollars through

from 200 from 20 million dollars through NASA by the shuttle program to 200

NASA by the shuttle program to 200

NASA by the shuttle program to 200 thousand dollars so he wrote a couple of

thousand dollars so he wrote a couple of

thousand dollars so he wrote a couple of books one’s called bowl the other is

books one’s called bowl the other is

books one’s called bowl the other is called abundance the future is better

called abundance the future is better

called abundance the future is better than you think

than you think

than you think so due to exponential technology

so due to exponential technology

so due to exponential technology technologies are moving so fast is

technologies are moving so fast is

technologies are moving so fast is driving down the price of a lot of

driving down the price of a lot of

driving down the price of a lot of things and because we’re living now in a

things and because we’re living now in a

things and because we’re living now in a world of abundance not scarcity so the

world of abundance not scarcity so the

world of abundance not scarcity so the world is much better than you think we

world is much better than you think we

world is much better than you think we have removed poverty and eighty percent

have removed poverty and eighty percent

have removed poverty and eighty percent of poverty has gone from eighty percent

of poverty has gone from eighty percent

of poverty has gone from eighty percent down to less than fourteen percent now

down to less than fourteen percent now

down to less than fourteen percent now worldwide so the other person is rate

worldwide so the other person is rate

worldwide so the other person is rate cuts well which way singularity got his

cuts well which way singularity got his

cuts well which way singularity got his name from he wrote a book called the

name from he wrote a book called the singularity is near he says that

singularity is near he says that

singularity is near he says that technology is moving so fast by 2029

technology is moving so fast by 2029

technology is moving so fast by 2029 machines to be faster than the human

machines to be faster than the human

machines to be faster than the human brain so you could download the entire

brain so you could download the entire

know basically as singularity we learned

know basically as singularity we learned that we have now understand the aging

that we have now understand the aging

that we have now understand the aging process and the reason why we age is

process and the reason why we age is

process and the reason why we age is because in a world of scarcity when you

because in a world of scarcity when you

because in a world of scarcity when you have your offspring your give your kids

have your offspring your give your kids

have your offspring your give your kids it’s better that you die off so that

it’s better that you die off so that

it’s better that you die off so that your kids can have the resources but

your kids can have the resources but

your kids can have the resources but today we live in a world of abundance

today we live in a world of abundance

today we live in a world of abundance but our body don’t know that it’s still

but our body don’t know that it’s still

but our body don’t know that it’s still switch on the genes that will make you

switch on the genes that will make you

switch on the genes that will make you age so we understand now the mechanism

age so we understand now the mechanism

age so we understand now the mechanism of aging and we understand the solutions

of aging and we understand the solutions

of aging and we understand the solutions that we need to achieve except it would

that we need to achieve except it would

that we need to achieve except it would take us about 25 to 35 years for each of

take us about 25 to 35 years for each of

take us about 25 to 35 years for each of those steps and seven reasons why you

those steps and seven reasons why you

those steps and seven reasons why you age and each of those technology will

age and each of those technology will

age and each of those technology will take a bit of time so if you can live

take a bit of time so if you can live

take a bit of time so if you can live for at least 25 years you’ll be extent

for at least 25 years you’ll be extent

for at least 25 years you’ll be extent you’ll be able to extend your life for

you’ll be able to extend your life for

you’ll be able to extend your life for now to 25 years unless you get knocked

now to 25 years unless you get knocked

now to 25 years unless you get knocked down by a bus or a tramp in the Gold

Ray wrote ray basically wrote his first AI generated music program in he was 17

AI generated music program in he was 17

AI generated music program in he was 17 years old he was very passionate and

years old he was very passionate and

years old he was very passionate and inspired to try to allow blind people to

inspired to try to allow blind people to

inspired to try to allow blind people to access books in the library so he

access books in the library so he

access books in the library so he invented the optical reading machine for

invented the optical reading machine for

invented the optical reading machine for the blind so if using Siri today or

the blind so if using Siri today or

the blind so if using Siri today or using a scanner a lot of the technology

using a scanner a lot of the technology

using a scanner a lot of the technology came from Ray and then Stevie Wonder you

came from Ray and then Stevie Wonder you

came from Ray and then Stevie Wonder you guys know Stevie Wonder right Stevie one

guys know Stevie Wonder right Stevie one

guys know Stevie Wonder right Stevie one is a blind pop singer became good

is a blind pop singer became good

is a blind pop singer became good friends with Ray because it’s very

friends with Ray because it’s very

friends with Ray because it’s very grateful he could now access books in

grateful he could now access books in

grateful he could now access books in the library and he asked ray could you

the library and he asked ray could you

the library and he asked ray could you help me could you develop a musical

help me could you develop a musical

help me could you develop a musical instrument for me to compose music

instrument for me to compose music

instrument for me to compose music because I’m blind I can’t play some of

because I’m blind I can’t play some of

because I’m blind I can’t play some of the instruments can you do in a keyboard

the instruments can you do in a keyboard

the instruments can you do in a keyboard so Ray came up with the synthesizer

so Ray came up with the synthesizer

so Ray came up with the synthesizer which is sold to the Koreans back in

which is sold to the Koreans back in

which is sold to the Koreans back in 1980 80 in the 80s which allow you know

1980 80 in the 80s which allow you know

1980 80 in the 80s which allow you know people to use it and I was lucky enough

people to use it and I was lucky enough

people to use it and I was lucky enough few days ago when I was in Korea the

few days ago when I was in Korea the

few days ago when I was in Korea the company that bought Ray’s company

company that bought Ray’s company

company that bought Ray’s company essentially was having an exhibition of

essentially was having an exhibition of

essentially was having an exhibition of the world largest digital piano and got

the world largest digital piano and got

the world largest digital piano and got to play on it so I thought was pretty

to play on it so I thought was pretty

to play on it so I thought was pretty cool to share this with you so let me

cool to share this with you so let me

cool to share this with you so let me talk a little bit about exponential

talk a little bit about exponential

talk a little bit about exponential steps exponential technology what does

steps exponential technology what does

steps exponential technology what does it all mean so we our brain is very in

it all mean so we our brain is very in

it all mean so we our brain is very in tune in terms of thinking linearly so if

tune in terms of thinking linearly so if

tune in terms of thinking linearly so if I say you take a step a meter in 30

I say you take a step a meter in 30

I say you take a step a meter in 30 steps you would be 30 meters away but if

steps you would be 30 meters away but if

steps you would be 30 meters away but if I say you take exponential steps you

I say you take exponential steps you

I say you take exponential steps you double your steps every time you walk 1

double your steps every time you walk 1

double your steps every time you walk 1 2 4 8 16 in 30 steps how far do you

2 4 8 16 in 30 steps how far do you

2 4 8 16 in 30 steps how far do you think you had gone you’d have gone 26

think you had gone you’d have gone 26

think you had gone you’d have gone 26 and a half times around the world or

and a half times around the world or

and a half times around the world or billion meters and that’s how fast

billion meters and that’s how fast

billion meters and that’s how fast technology is moving and so at

technology is moving and so at

technology is moving and so at singularity we try to basically teach

singularity we try to basically teach

singularity we try to basically teach people to spot those trends and be

people to spot those trends and be

people to spot those trends and be prepared for it so as you can see in

prepared for it so as you can see in

prepared for it so as you can see in this chart that the you know we have now

this chart that the you know we have now

this chart that the you know we have now the computational power of slightly more

the computational power of slightly more

the computational power of slightly more than a mouse brain so by 2025 2029 we

than a mouse brain so by 2025 2029 we

than a mouse brain so by 2025 2029 we would have the ability to simulate an

would have the ability to simulate an

would have the ability to simulate an entire human brain and by 2050

entire human brain and by 2050

entire human brain and by 2050 we’ll have the computational power to

we’ll have the computational power to

we’ll have the computational power to essentially simulate every single human

essentially simulate every single human

essentially simulate every single human beings brain in the world what I’m gonna

beings brain in the world what I’m gonna

beings brain in the world what I’m gonna do is what the computational power and I

do is what the computational power and I

do is what the computational power and I thought I would give you a quick

thought I would give you a quick

thought I would give you a quick snapshot in April 2017 right we now have

snapshot in April 2017 right we now have

snapshot in April 2017 right we now have about seven and a half billion people on

about seven and a half billion people on

about seven and a half billion people on this planet we have 3.8 billion on the

this planet we have 3.8 billion on the

this planet we have 3.8 billion on the internet and by 2020 we will have about

internet and by 2020 we will have about

internet and by 2020 we will have about 6 billion right what does that mean for

6 billion right what does that mean for

6 billion right what does that mean for all of you it’s no better time than now

all of you it’s no better time than now

all of you it’s no better time than now to be an entrepreneur you know all your

to be an entrepreneur you know all your

to be an entrepreneur you know all your potential partners customers you know

potential partners customers you know

potential partners customers you know investors are all online you can access

investors are all online you can access

investors are all online you can access them very easily so this is a quick

them very easily so this is a quick

them very easily so this is a quick snapshot on the activity and what the

snapshot on the activity and what the

snapshot on the activity and what the internet how far she has grown another

internet how far she has grown another

internet how far she has grown another example is you know IBM took 46 years to

example is you know IBM took 46 years to

example is you know IBM took 46 years to reach a valuation of a billion dollars

reach a valuation of a billion dollars

reach a valuation of a billion dollars Google took eight years Facebook took

Google took eight years Facebook took

Google took eight years Facebook took five and Groupon took 18 I think

five and Groupon took 18 I think

five and Groupon took 18 I think snapchat is probably even less than that

snapchat is probably even less than that

snapchat is probably even less than that so as you can see things are quickening

so as you can see things are quickening

so as you can see things are quickening and happening very quickly in terms of

and happening very quickly in terms of

and happening very quickly in terms of the impact

the impact

the impact so the problem the exponential curve is

so the problem the exponential curve is

so the problem the exponential curve is that you start with a very small number

that you start with a very small number

that you start with a very small number like 0.1 right when you double it what

like 0.1 right when you double it what

like 0.1 right when you double it what do you get 0.2 we sue below 1 then you

do you get 0.2 we sue below 1 then you

do you get 0.2 we sue below 1 then you double it again what it gets 0.4 so it

double it again what it gets 0.4 so it

double it again what it gets 0.4 so it is very very deceptive so people think

is very very deceptive so people think

is very very deceptive so people think doesn’t work let me give an example LED

doesn’t work let me give an example LED

doesn’t work let me give an example LED lights 10 years ago would you even think

lights 10 years ago would you even think

lights 10 years ago would you even think of putting LED lights in your house you

of putting LED lights in your house you

of putting LED lights in your house you probably never thought of it’s too

probably never thought of it’s too

probably never thought of it’s too expensive you know how to get hold off

expensive you know how to get hold off

expensive you know how to get hold off today LED likes are basically replacing

today LED likes are basically replacing

today LED likes are basically replacing almost every single other technology in

almost every single other technology in

almost every single other technology in lighting and if you have thought 10

lighting and if you have thought 10

lighting and if you have thought 10 years ago that you know LED lights gonna

years ago that you know LED lights gonna

be cheap what can you do with it today

be cheap what can you do with it today like make clothings and stuff like that

like make clothings and stuff like that

like make clothings and stuff like that there would be something that you could

there would be something that you could

there would be something that you could capitalize and commercialize so you’ve

capitalize and commercialize so you’ve

capitalize and commercialize so you’ve got to think what’s gonna happen in the

got to think what’s gonna happen in the

got to think what’s gonna happen in the future not what’s happening right now

future not what’s happening right now

future not what’s happening right now when you’re developing your technology

when you’re developing your technology

when you’re developing your technology and projects so once you pass 1 in 37 to

and projects so once you pass 1 in 37 to

and projects so once you pass 1 in 37 to lose a billion right so essentially it

lose a billion right so essentially it

lose a billion right so essentially it moves really fast and that’s when people

moves really fast and that’s when people

moves really fast and that’s when people get you know it could create a lot of
