Technology and me, il ritardo cronico della cultura sulla tecnologia | Marco Paolini | TEDxPadova


[Music]

you know the term safecast you know

the term citizen science

there is no problem you can find them on the internet

in three minutes it is the third word that

I would like to use the third question if I use

the expression plural intelligence here

already this on the internet is not resolved

in 30 seconds the fourth question is

you know the telepass test no

that is not yet on the internet but from

today afternoon from when to

registration in online definitely

there will be this is the four peel

questions

the crux of the question I would like

dealing with you today concerns nature and

technology but I go back to the beginning I have

asked you know what safecast is then

back to when April 2011 the

earthquake in Japan ninth grade of the

scale destroys Japan and the tsunami

creates a disaster and the atomic power plant

of fukushima is affected by the disaster

information on the central unit

at the beginning they are scarce

public opinion is already stunned

hit by the effect too

in the powerful imagery of nature

that creates something like the tsunami

we are used to the forces of nature

but certain sanctities are really

spectacular grandiose menacing rejoiced

he is one of those stars of the scenario of

internet very known by many

people made known by other joi

ito is not a graduate but

in those days he Japanese that

day is located at mighty in boston

they are thinking of making it become

director of the media center of the PD

just that evening while you are

discussing if he who does not even have one

degree can become the director of

that prestigious institution comes the

news of the earthquake him to the family

which is 200 km from fukushima as

Imagine you’re worried

wants to know but the Japanese government is

secretive information

at the beginning obviously they are scarce but

even when the framework of the

information is completed on the

central exit with the dropper there

there have been explosions there has been

a cloud a toxic cloud is like

chernobyl or not, how do you know?

the government does not give much information

that rejoices and one of the greatest experts

of the internet that exist is a truly one

a person

from this point of view very much

Into things it does what they do

everyone does as we do

reel to the beginning until it is made

I think I’m not alone in the middle of it

those who are looking for news like

he gradually begins to understand what

serves with a small group of people

united by a common need to have

information that the government did not give

begin to think about what you need

do create safecast at the beginning of a group

of people inside and this is his

skills there are hackers there are

engineers there are those who know how

it is done if the detection network of the

radioactivity is destroyed

we need to create a new network with gods

geiger counters

you have to make them holy god is unrealistic

give it all as you do

you’re not even a technician yet

together with you there are some technicians when

one begins to say we need a hardware

Well there is and Italian is called arduino is

a simple versatile platform is

been created to above all help the

artists those who needed a

of an economic hardware to make

work and thousand robot lights

possible applications in

arduino is a not correct to say open

source but practically something of the

gender is open and can very well do

work a software that becomes a

geiger counter with an action of

tutoring not unlike that which

each of us can find when he is looking

an information on the network as you do

make ceramics

here we teach people how

build a detection tool

geiger the money kurt starter or I do not know if

let’s say exactly that means

kick -off

a little funding that sometimes

is given precisely by that structure

of the network that serves to support i

artistic projects but also projects

like this

in seven years, safecast has become one

structure that collects 16 million

people is the largest global network

citizen science for ayane citizens yes

they mean citizens’ networks

they participate voluntarily in

scientific experiments the most long-lived

in this field are astronomers

that always rely on astronomers

non-professionals to monitor

portions from the sky but in various fields there

they are citizens who voluntarily

they decide to join projects

scientifically making them possible if

you want if the cast is something like that

but it is a bigger project

scientific of the planet

born from below from below

civil disobedience to an obvious one

lack of government institutions

Japanese who did not want to give those

information

now I like to define not safecast but the

group of people who created it

a plural intelligence the word would like

clarify in what sense I use this

expression

I’m not saying collective intelligence

the collective intelligence in my opinion is

a myth in the twentieth century called them

masses in this century at least at the beginning

they call them social are huge tanks

of people too big from my point

of sight to succeed in breaking the

loneliness of the individuals who make it

part

regarding the masses o

direct experience having done it

part in the treviso the masses were

relatively limited even in moments

best but I must say that anyway not

they added a lot of strength to people

as for social networks I do not have one

great experience

but I would like to reason as an amateur

how I do tonight I would like to reason

on an evolutionary principle we are

social animals and upi hunt in

herd our species has evolved

for small family structures three

cheaters of clans in front of the difficulties

we automatically get there

together with someone

earthquakes trigger feelings in us

that at other times you can not see or not

it is a case that the structures we have

created to deal with the earthquakes I speak

of civil protection are

organized with a chain of command

short and very compact and compact

self-sufficient people who can

rely on them almost always in

some way this kind of facilities

which are almost physiological reveal themselves

very functional very useful in the

startups in the incubators of ideas yes

promotes this kind of forms of

aggregation are is a model that

is repeated several times I

I prefer to call it intelligence

plural circumscribed not of large

dimensions and at the beginning safecast e

this then becomes a thing of millions

of people but part of one more thing

the fact is highlighted by the small joy

that without the internet it would not have been

possible if the cast is his and daughter

of technology already at this point

at this point I should ask you

how much technological are you from 1 to 10

zero ok no dai

padova and technological more or less of

Venice more or less Milan but of what

we’re talking about

you feel more or less technological than the

your children to difficult answer too

this then we should clarify that

what is the answer technology

absolutely subjective amateurish

for me technology and everything that is

born after me other end all this

who was born after me and who I am

forced to learn losing a lot

of time because they told me that

so I’ll do it sooner

if this was the case, I say it

people laugh at the theater every six hours

more or less like you do not want to do

repertoire but I needed this

passage

if you agree with this definition

subjective is clear that all this

that I found is perfectly natural

while all that is technological and

everything that comes later

so obviously the threshold moves

generation after generation

there is a before and after for me

the internet is clearly a post then

there is a relationship that each of us has

with the technology that can be

synthesized from that famous proof of the

telepass give me the light in the stalls then

even keep it a little lit if you want it that way

I see you that famous proof of the telepass

of which I mentioned to you at the beginning that

it was my fourth question is a lot

simple you with your car

approaching the telepass bar

try

trust or hope wake already stamina the

foot st prudently close to the brake

our body at the top

expresses all our modernity

acceptance of the devilry

technological but the lower part of the

body and there because because the telepass

inspire more hope than trust and

irrational all but one

ancient explanation trust us

we tend to give nature to nature

it’s that ugly beast that causes it

tsunami

the earthquake is that sometimes makes us

some bad jokes but we have one

cohabitation with the nature of thousands of

years

a few tens of thousands of years maybe

hundreds of thousands of years like

species and therefore we call her mother

none of us called mother

technology technology offers us

hopes hope that the bar is raised

telepass hope that science

find the cures for the diseases that still

they do not have that cure hope that

things become easier than the

connection with the world offers me

opportunities that I did not have before

the advantages I have had are obvious

adopting my digital technology

analogous brain somehow yes

interface with some ease

with this language but inside of me

he still does not trust me to the end

perhaps because I am aware that of the

technology I basically are always the

test pilot while with nature

travel on the safe side

so coming back

to safecast if joi ito can be

considered the father of sel cast that is

the mother of sel cast

he said that the mother of sel cast is

internet and who is the mother of the internet

but we know that internet to a father

tim berners lee in 1990 91 baptizing

the web the language with which on the internet

our our devices dialogue

turning each one of us into a publisher

they dialogue with standardized languages

the standard one of public domain the

web has a father tim berners lee ma chi

it’s the mother of the web that needs to go

back

first the web comes after the internet

Internet

surely as a mother we must look

ARPANET

certainly the military network but first it is

first, looking for the mother we will arrive

to a transistor

but the uncertain mother we baptize

of the inventor technology and li

we call fathers but there is a line

evolutionary technology it is born from

previous technologies recombined in

different way as in nature there is one

evolutionary line an evolutionary line

exists in technology to associate the two is

stupid

the evolution in nature at times e

absolutely different modes from

those of technology and more

there is nothing so fast and

as fast as the technological evolution but

the mother remains uncertain in the woods

mixed technology and this does not

know that it is the mother or ignore it either

forget it because it simply does not

we never reason on it according to me

part of the disorientation that derives

when acceleration increases the changes

like those we have before two

possible changes in speed

of course

today anyone of us is synchronized

with his smartphone his phone

sapiens the troia horse of the

digital revolution

but today we are facing two jumps

possible mentioned we speak yes

talk about the internet of things and the

bioengineering the internet of things

the internet of things for god that there

he wants to imagine he can put some

we are so sapiens of intelligence

that we can put intelligence into

things that takes a chip

just the function finds mine

ciabatta the slipper will answer here

in the dog’s bed and you’ll wonder

where the other is the eco-center because

because your wife could not find her anymore

first he threw the second one

the internet of things

at the moment they are something like 40

billions of sensors scattered in the goods

or 40 billion in the environment

of things that give information that

they talk with the devices instead

we consciously use all this

puts us in front of a consideration is

possible

we have become so good that

we can throw away a bit

intelligence put it into products that

they will no longer serve, we will never recover

that food costs so little that it can

stay in a balloon in a micro

toy for child to lose to

lose to lose to lose the same

parallel progress that has made us

able to work on very small things

and that of bioengineering the project

exactly on the human genome was born

same year in which tim berners lee has

baptized the web are 27 years ago

we should be accustomed instead not the

rhythm that began to run has

produced the mapping of the human genome e

from that moment on ours

ability to work on genes and

to work no longer only

on individual genes but santiddio on integers

genomic kits on the correct genes

in synthesis those of craig venter sui

artificial genes today we can

put genes into gods

programmer sequencers they have

we are small in size

we are becoming not become good

like the DNA that makes very few errors but

we are also learning to reduce them

mistakes with this type of games all

this promises to some of us a

brividine under the possibility of

have human beings increased or I do not use them

words that are used by newspapers

to generate in us the wonder

feeling that I have is that the game is

to surprise and pleasantly make us

continually amaze by the last

revelation on technological discoveries

almost always forgetting that between

the announcement and implementation of the same

there are so many of them

checks for which most of

they will lose themselves replaced by

something that has been born in the meantime

this is a game to the amazement that there

it involves everyone we are extremely available

to adopt new technologies but

rather difficult for us to understand how

we are adapting ourselves to the things that

we have adopted where we have learned to

use the technologies

so a comparison is a reminder

when we were talking about putting

sexual education in holy schools

god have tried generations of us

ministers and things and in the end they have

decided it was better to let the

nature

except for Sweden , Denmark is few

that really did education

sexual in schools and education

technological and it is not very clear but me

where I learned these things from

amateur that I did not learn at school

on the internet

so to learn the technology better

let the technology do

on the other hand also to learn the

sexuality today should let it be done

internet can be traumatic

the approach but surely there is

all today the emptiness of the institutions

it is not just about the information that the

Japanese government did not give regard

to the fukushima plant

cyclically each of us measures the

failure of institutions to provide

those educational educational answers

technological progress opens

constantly the problem of a gap

left behind

this building somehow a

emblem of what I would like to say before

I told you I defined the action of self the

cast as an action of intelligence

plural and I defined everything technology

what came after me is in

some way nature all that I have

found when when I came to the

world the theatrical system belongs

to nature from this point of view a

some reductionist if you want however it is

perfectly normal for me

considering as given as natural

the problem is that there is not much of it

natural here in case there is something

fossil something historical

but what I want to tell you is about them

people doing my job me

I see how this is changing

because every night I see the avatars

the phones no longer ring at the theater

now no one gets caught anymore no

they turn on they turn blue

because they connect convinced that

nobody reviews will not be all

Doctors in service think what they are

saying I ‘m here to see the show

of Paulines then in English from to my a

the essence is I have to stay connected not

I can no longer do without it

the device has changed mine

fruition of the world

now what is the only possible answer to

this multitude of avatars

at the theater become a hacker myself

I share the decalogue of the hackers who

among other things, the fact of 11 articles

on the table of the law that is on the

facade of the mighty building 32 a

boston

there is written what a must do

hackers find it is not difficult in

internet somehow I think that

that does not concern only engineers

who take care of the network but of

anyone who works in large and small networks

like theaters compared to what I have

put the delay in my title tonight

of culture on william technology

osborne was extremely worried

of the monstrous acceleration that was going on

living and formulated the law of delay

of we say immaterial culture on the

technology was 1922 osborne era

terrified by the acceleration that

they had the technological things the

mass motorization and all around

he realized that they had one

speed absolutely different from others

thoughts

in short, he foresaw that adopting a

mobile phone did not mean

automatically adapt to him

of the phone one hundred years after things

what was one did not improve

physiological delay risk of becoming

chronic today is not about solving

I think the problem using arduino

to make the sets move

the most technological show to stay

in step this can be an answer

but in my opinion it is not so interesting

I believe that in some way

we must try to make sure that a

theater is formed of the communities of

plural intelligence that the rite of the

theater does not see in the actor a

officiant more or less tired but who in

somehow try to exercise

I mean there will be some hackers as well

among the public among avatars

someone able to collect the

inspiration and there will be someone

with whom to share something

exciting something fun too

difficult to do it we must deny

friendship to the spectators do not become

accomplices of the lifestyle rather

tell him, look at you tonight

this is an experiment in the theater

laboratory and you are the guinea pigs

you are citizen science I warn you

first, do it knowingly, I do not know

it is easy if I exaggerate they leave and that

they have a job more but some

way the spring to get together

set like this you have to try to

turn it on because you see if one arrives

earthquake the spring shoots alone but if

apparently nothing happens

it’s hard to trigger intelligence

collective and plural intelligence but me

I think something is happening a lot

quickly

I believe that within me nature and

technology are like two clods

tectonics that sometimes

they move and unleash human beings

earthquakes

It has already happened to me and I have none

I intend to stay alone at

wait for the next shock to arrive
