I could afternoon Melvyn guerrilla even though I work for a virtual reality

though I work for a virtual reality

though I work for a virtual reality company what I want to talk to you guys

company what I want to talk to you guys

company what I want to talk to you guys today about is actually not about

today about is actually not about

today about is actually not about virtual reality as much it’s really more

virtual reality as much it’s really more

virtual reality as much it’s really more about the underlying foundation of

present in this world that don’t believe

present in this world that don’t believe in this privacy is actually going to be

in this privacy is actually going to be

in this privacy is actually going to be increasing an issue for this earth as

increasing an issue for this earth as

increasing an issue for this earth as more and more data is being created by

more and more data is being created by

more and more data is being created by all the devices that we carry around

all the devices that we carry around

all the devices that we carry around this and Ageing is also going to be

this and Ageing is also going to be

this and Ageing is also going to be something that affects this entire earth

something that affects this entire earth

something that affects this entire earth and specifically China because China is

and specifically China because China is

and specifically China because China is going to have a reverse pyramid of more

going to have a reverse pyramid of more

going to have a reverse pyramid of more and more elderly people so 500 years ago

and more elderly people so 500 years ago

and more elderly people so 500 years ago this is what the world believed that we

this is what the world believed that we

this is what the world believed that we lived on a flat earth right in fact

lived on a flat earth right in fact

lived on a flat earth right in fact Galileo went to jail for a large part of

Galileo went to jail for a large part of

Galileo went to jail for a large part of his life because he was promoting that

the Sun we revolve around the Sun versus the

we revolve around the Sun versus the

we revolve around the Sun versus the other way around

other way around

other way around so you know we really want to make sure

so you know we really want to make sure

so you know we really want to make sure that this isn’t how things are going to

that this isn’t how things are going to

that this isn’t how things are going to be going forward we need to recognize

be going forward we need to recognize

be going forward we need to recognize that there are going to be major changes

that there are going to be major changes

that there are going to be major changes in the way that we believe things and

in the way that we believe things and

in the way that we believe things and how that’s going to affect our own

how that’s going to affect our own

how that’s going to affect our own actions technology is changing not at a

actions technology is changing not at a

actions technology is changing not at a linear rate but actually at an

linear rate but actually at an

linear rate but actually at an accelerating rate and that’s what’s most

accelerating rate and that’s what’s most

accelerating rate and that’s what’s most exciting is that every single year the

exciting is that every single year the

exciting is that every single year the manage pain is happening is greater than

manage pain is happening is greater than

manage pain is happening is greater than the year before the impact that they are

the year before the impact that they are

the year before the impact that they are having is greater than the year before

having is greater than the year before

having is greater than the year before right so progress is going to happen and

right so progress is going to happen and

right so progress is going to happen and it’s going to happen and you know

it’s going to happen and you know

it’s going to happen and you know increasingly orders of magnitude in

increasingly orders of magnitude in

increasingly orders of magnitude in terms of how it changes and there’s two

terms of how it changes and there’s two

terms of how it changes and there’s two main factors as helping increases this

main factors as helping increases this

main factors as helping increases this change one is integration which is a lot

change one is integration which is a lot

change one is integration which is a lot of different technologies coming

of different technologies coming

of different technologies coming together and then also digitization

together and then also digitization

together and then also digitization which is turning physical products into

which is turning physical products into

which is turning physical products into virtual products so one really good

virtual products so one really good

virtual products so one really good example of integration is the integrated

example of integration is the integrated

example of integration is the integrated circuit this is a picture of a

circuit this is a picture of a

circuit this is a picture of a microprocessor I was very fortunate that

microprocessor I was very fortunate that

microprocessor I was very fortunate that I actually grew up with the

I actually grew up with the

I actually grew up with the microprocessor it was born in 1971 the

microprocessor it was born in 1971 the

microprocessor it was born in 1971 the first microprocessor by Intel which was

first microprocessor by Intel which was

first microprocessor by Intel which was a year I was born and I’ve grown up with

a year I was born and I’ve grown up with

a year I was born and I’ve grown up with that entire industry since then it was

that entire industry since then it was

that entire industry since then it was saying hey isn’t Moore’s law going to

saying hey isn’t Moore’s law going to

saying hey isn’t Moore’s law going to come to an end isn’t there physical

come to an end isn’t there physical

come to an end isn’t there physical limitations and what I want to show you

limitations and what I want to show you

limitations and what I want to show you this picture this is actually a picture

this picture this is actually a picture

this picture this is actually a picture of an exponential growth is taking

of an exponential growth is taking

of an exponential growth is taking Moore’s law back a hundred years 120

Moore’s law back a hundred years 120

Moore’s law back a hundred years 120 years in fact what happens is that every

years in fact what happens is that every

years in fact what happens is that every time there is a limit physical limit

time there is a limit physical limit

time there is a limit physical limit there’s a new technology that’s created

really make up their mind and then he

really make up their mind and then he stopped us and he says hey guys what if

stopped us and he says hey guys what if

stopped us and he says hey guys what if you had unlimited power you had

you had unlimited power you had

you had unlimited power you had unlimited bandwidth with this decision
