Campbell Brown’s Advice for the Next President

presented by Campbell Brown

Two out of three 8th graders in this coun­try can­not read or do math at grade lev­el. We are not prepar­ing our kids for what the future holds.

Anne-Marie Slaughter’s Advice for the Next President

presented by Anne-Marie Slaughter

Asking any author about a book the President should read imme­di­ate­ly makes me think, ​“Mine, of course.” But what I would actu­al­ly say is the next pres­i­dent should be Jamie Merisotis’ America Needs Talent.

The Conversation #38 — Alexa Clay

presented by Aengus Anderson, Alexa Clay, Micah Saul

I think at a fun­da­men­tal lev­el I just believe in human agency. And I think that every­one should feel like they can par­tic­i­pate and shape the econ­o­my, rather than feel like they’re expe­ri­enc­ing symp­toms of the econ­o­my. When the reces­sion hap­pened, there was all this chat­ter around well, the Fed is going to do this. Or the banks are going to do this. And gov­ern­ment is going to do this. And there was no nar­ra­tive around what peo­ple are going to do.

Planetary Initiation

presented by Daniel Pinchbeck

I think that Western mod­ern civ­i­liza­tion end­ed up kind of caught in a trap locked in its egoic struc­ture, and based our whole trip on kind of hyper­indi­vid­u­al­ism, accu­mu­la­tion of resources, and so on. And we’ve now reached a point where we can’t go fur­ther than that.

A Data Manifesto for Generation Open

presented by Hetan Shah

We asked our six thou­sand mem­bers to write to their can­di­dates and say, ​“If you get elect­ed, do you promise to take sta­tis­ti­cal train­ing from the Royal Statistical Society?” 

Why Black Lives Matter

presented by Alicia Garza

Black folks have con­sis­tent­ly been denied the rights to priv­i­lege that come with cit­i­zen­ship that so many of us take for grant­ed. And that’s why so many of us are no longer sat­is­fied with the com­pro­mis­es and nego­ti­a­tions that hap­pen behind the scenes, that con­tin­ue to leave out too many peo­ple whose lives depend on the abil­i­ty to par­tic­i­pate in the deci­sions that impact their lives.

“The Case Against Cynicism,” Hilton Als RISD 2016 Commencement Address

presented by Hilton Als

[We] could hope because we’d seen what it had done for us. We were refugees from the world’s cyn­i­cism because we’d grown up in belief, and knew just as our moth­ers knew, that each act of mak­ing is born out of hope because there, in the rank earth where cyn­i­cism flow­ers, noth­ing grows.

What Will Cybersecurity Look Like in the Next Decade?

presented by Paul Nicholas

Sure, cyber­space is about peo­ple and data. But it is also about appli­ca­tions. And devices. And the indi­rect and non-obvious rela­tion­ships between all of this. It cre­ates a very com­pli­cat­ed and excit­ing ecosys­tem. One that is capa­ble of dra­mat­ic inno­va­tion, and dra­mat­ic exploitation.

Media, Technology & Culture 1.3: So, What’s New?

presented by Joshua Braun

So, how do we make sense of new media? How can we guard against our temp­ta­tion to assume, our implic­it sense, even, that every­thing in our expe­ri­ence of today’s emerg­ing dig­i­tal media is brand new and unprece­dent­ed? And how do we do that while also appre­ci­at­ing the things that real­ly are new or unique to our cur­rent cul­tur­al con­text and moment in history?

Media, Technology & Culture 1.2: Yesterday’s ​“New“s

presented by Joshua Braun

We’re con­tin­u­ing our series of install­ments, focus­ing on what makes new media new. Or put anoth­er way, how new are new media, really?

Some Random Transcripts

Latoya Peterson and Cherisse Datu: Contempt
presented by Cherisse Datu, Latoya Peterson

The name “Contempt” came from this idea of all the emotions—especially from the death of Breonna Taylor—a lot of the contempt we felt for how the situation was being treated; contempt of the law, which many people of color are accused of; and just generally we decided that this project would be our own way of coping with the trauma of that time and what does it means to be American, what does it mean to be a person of color.

Problematic Predictions: A Complex Question for Complex Systems
presented by Tal Zarsky

When you make a decision to opt for an automated process, to some extent you’re already by doing so compromising transparency. Or you could say it the other way around. It’s possible to argue that if you opt for extremely strict transparency regulation, you’re making a compromise in terms of automation. Read more →

2014 Internet Hall of Fame Interviews: Eric Allman
presented by Eric Allman

I worked on very early versions of email on the ARPANET, actually. And the problem that I was trying to solve was that there were a lot of networks—the ARPANET was just one of them—and people wanted to send email between these networks. Read more →

presented by Nnenna Nwakanma

In Europe, there are about fifty-odd countries, and about 725 million people. That's about the population of Europe at the moment. What's the largest country in Europe in terms of population? Russia is. Russia has about 144 million, 145 million. But Nigeria has more than 170 million, and there are only about 40% of Nigerians who are connected. Read more →

Vint Cerf Areté Medallion Q&A Elon University 2016
presented by Lee Rainie, Vint Cerf

We've already been through several situations where new technologies come along. The Industrial Revolution removed a large number of jobs that had been done by hand, replaced them with machines. But the machines had to be built, the machines had to be operated, the machines had to be maintained. And the same is true in this online environment. Read more →
