our lifetime I will begin where it all

our lifetime I will begin where it all started for me that is pretty much

started for me that is pretty much

started for me that is pretty much thirty years ago from there on I’ll

thirty years ago from there on I’ll

thirty years ago from there on I’ll spend some time in our time today where

spend some time in our time today where

spend some time in our time today where we are and where technology has taken us

we are and where technology has taken us

we are and where technology has taken us and once we truly know where we are we

and once we truly know where we are we

and once we truly know where we are we can have a look into the future so let’s

can have a look into the future so let’s

can have a look into the future so let’s start that is me

start that is me eighteen month old I was already in love

eighteen month old I was already in love

eighteen month old I was already in love with these computers that is a ms-dos

with these computers that is a ms-dos

with these computers that is a ms-dos computer and I probably must have just

short time every 18 month the power of

short time every 18 month the power of computers doubled go to more the founder

computers doubled go to more the founder

computers doubled go to more the founder of Intel said that in 1965 and you know

of Intel said that in 1965 and you know

of Intel said that in 1965 and you know what it happened it worked out and in

what it happened it worked out and in

what it happened it worked out and in the next two examples I would like you

the next two examples I would like you

the next two examples I would like you to show where that has taken us today

to show where that has taken us today

to show where that has taken us today you know the internet you know

you know the internet you know

you know the internet you know smartphones but I wonder if you know

smartphones but I wonder if you know

smartphones but I wonder if you know cause the computer games that was one I

cause the computer games that was one I

cause the computer games that was one I love to play one was 15 it’s called

love to play one was 15 it’s called

love to play one was 15 it’s called Starcraft and this video you see here is

Starcraft and this video you see here is

Starcraft and this video you see here is one of the most interesting but also

one of the most interesting but also

one of the most interesting but also frightening videos I’ve seen in 2016 it

frightening videos I’ve seen in 2016 it

frightening videos I’ve seen in 2016 it was released only a month ago from

was released only a month ago from

was released only a month ago from google deepmind those are the guys that

google deepmind those are the guys that

google deepmind those are the guys that built artificial intelligence and what

built artificial intelligence and what

built artificial intelligence and what they’ve done here is they’ve given the

they’ve done here is they’ve given the

they’ve done here is they’ve given the artificial intelligence an interface to

artificial intelligence an interface to

artificial intelligence an interface to see what the screen is doing so this

see what the screen is doing so this

see what the screen is doing so this land dots here represent that stuff and

land dots here represent that stuff and

land dots here represent that stuff and the computer is able to give back input

the computer is able to give back input

the computer is able to give back input we had keyboard and mouse the artificial

we had keyboard and mouse the artificial

we had keyboard and mouse the artificial intelligence is doing the same as we’re

intelligence is doing the same as we’re

intelligence is doing the same as we’re using the computer so I wonder where

using the computer so I wonder where

using the computer so I wonder where that is leading us to

that is leading us to

that is leading us to another example I don’t know if you like

another example I don’t know if you like

another example I don’t know if you like to play basketball I’m not really into

to play basketball I’m not really into

to play basketball I’m not really into that but in a few years from now I could

that but in a few years from now I could

that but in a few years from now I could just put on some goggles sit there and

just put on some goggles sit there and

just put on some goggles sit there and enjoy what I’m really passionate about

enjoy what I’m really passionate about

enjoy what I’m really passionate about and a magic leap and that will soon hit

and a magic leap and that will soon hit

and a magic leap and that will soon hit the market and yeah that’s what mattered

the market and yeah that’s what mattered

the market and yeah that’s what mattered reality and the computer coming into our

reality and the computer coming into our

reality and the computer coming into our life or into our reality but do you want

life or into our reality but do you want

life or into our reality but do you want to know what I’m truly passionate about

to know what I’m truly passionate about

to know what I’m truly passionate about it’s these guys here it’s 3d printers

it’s these guys here it’s 3d printers

it’s these guys here it’s 3d printers that can make something beautiful out of

that they engineered because well if you

that they engineered because well if you put cells together you need to glue them

put cells together you need to glue them

put cells together you need to glue them together so they have created a little

technology has come and we’ve spoken

technology has come and we’ve spoken about exponential technologies right

about exponential technologies right

about exponential technologies right they double every time every couple of

they double every time every couple of

they double every time every couple of months and DNA reading was five times

months and DNA reading was five times

months and DNA reading was five times faster back in 2001 when I was playing

faster back in 2001 when I was playing

Starcraft those guys had figured out how

Starcraft those guys had figured out how to automatically read DNA 400 million

to automatically read DNA 400 million

to automatically read DNA 400 million dollars but the story went on and only

dollars but the story went on and only

dollars but the story went on and only this year we have crossed the cost of

this year we have crossed the cost of

this year we have crossed the cost of $1,000 to read a whole human genome

$1,000 to read a whole human genome

$1,000 to read a whole human genome 3,000 letters and it’s continuing to

3,000 letters and it’s continuing to

3,000 letters and it’s continuing to drop so reading and learning from nature

drop so reading and learning from nature

drop so reading and learning from nature becomes ever cheaper and every more

becomes ever cheaper and every more

but what do you do when you have this DNA you can upload it to a website upon

DNA you can upload it to a website upon

DNA you can upload it to a website upon startup from Tel Aviv it’s called genome

startup from Tel Aviv it’s called genome

startup from Tel Aviv it’s called genome compiler and you open up the DNA

compiler and you open up the DNA

compiler and you open up the DNA information in your web browser right

where we are today this is leyla a year ago she was diagnosed with leukemia and

ago she was diagnosed with leukemia and

ago she was diagnosed with leukemia and there was not really anything that could

there was not really anything that could

there was not really anything that could help her so she was chosen as the first

help her so she was chosen as the first
