to frame the problem what does authenticity mean that's me that's a camera phone picture of me looking at a painting what's the problem that's a painting that was painted by a very famous forger and because i'm not very good at presentations i already can't remember the name that i wrote on my card and he was incarcerated in i think wakefield prison for forging masterpieces by i think french impressionists and he's so good at it that when he was in prison everybody in prison the governor and whatever wanted him to paint masterpieces to put on the walls because they were so good and so that's a masterpiece which is a fake of a masterpiece and bonded into the canvas is a chip which identifies that as a real fake if you see what i mean

and for a joke we take that super secure chip and we bond it to a magnetic stripe and for very lazy criminals we still emboss the card so if you're a criminal in a hurry and you need to copy someone's card you can just stick a piece of paper on it and rub a pencil over it just to sort of speed things up and even more amusingly and on my debit card too we print the name and the salt code and everything else on the front too why there is no earthly reason why your name is printed on a chip and pin card and if you think about it it's even more insidious and perverse than it seems at first because the only people that benefit from having the name on the card are criminals you know what your name is right and when you go into a shop and buy something it's a pin he doesn't care what the name is the only place where you ever have to write your name on the back is in america at the moment and whenever i go to america and i have to pay with a mag stripe on the back of the card i always sign it carlos tethers anyway just as a security mechanism because if a transaction ever gets disputed and it comes back and it says dave birch i know it must have been a criminal because i would never sign it dave birch

is especially when you're a teenager a fluid thing you have lots of identities and you can have an identity you don't like it because it's subverted in some way or it's insecure or it's inappropriate you just delete it and get another one the idea that you have an identity that's given to you by someone the government or whatever and you have to stick with that identity and use it in all places that's absolutely wrong why would you want to really know who someone was on unless you wanted to abuse them and harass them in some way and it just doesn't work properly and my fourth example is there are some cases where you really want to be in case you're wondering that's me at the protest i wasn't actually at the protest but i had a meeting at a bank on the day of the protest and i got an email from the bank saying please don't wear a suit because it'll inflame the protesters i look pretty good in a suit frankly so you can see why it would drive them into an anti capitalist frenzy
| 1
|
6,224
|
so this nonsense about you've got to have real names on and whatever that gets you that kind of security that gets you security theater where there's no actual security but people are sort of playing parts in a play about security and as long as everybody learns their lines everyone's happy but it's not real security especially because i hate banks more than the protesters do because i work for them i know that things are actually worse than these guys think

the more times you're forced to use your real identity certainly in terms the more likely that identity is to get stolen and subverted the goal is to stop people from using identity in transactions which don't need identity which is actually almost all transactions almost all of the transactions you do are not who are you they're are you allowed to drive the car are you allowed in the building are you over etcetera etcetera so my suggestion i like james think that there should be a resurgence of interest in r d i think this is a solvable problem it's something we can do about naturally in these circumstances i turn to doctor who because in this as in so many other walks of life doctor who has already shown us the answer so i should say for some of our foreign visitors doctor who is the greatest living scientist in england and a beacon of truth and enlightenment to all of us

it doesn't disclose any other information it has to have no special gadgets that can only mean one thing following on from ross's statement which i agree with completely if it means no special gadgets it has to run on a mobile phone that's the only choice we have we have to make it work on mobile phones there are billion mobile phone subscriptions my favorite statistic of all time only billion toothbrushes in the world that means something i don't know what

why do i use that picture because that was very interesting watching that experience as an old person so him and his friends they get together they booked a room like a church hall and they got all their friends who had bands and they got them together and they do it all on and then they sell tickets and the first band on the i was going to say menu that's probably the wrong word for it isn't it the first band on the list of bands that appears at some public music performance of some kind gets the sales from the first tickets then the next band gets the next and so on they were at the bottom of the menu they were like fifth i thought they had no chance

this odd sort of paradox where i'm happy for him to go into this space if i know who everybody else is but i don't want anybody else to know who he is and so you get this sort of logjam around identity where you want full disclosure from everybody else but not from yourself and there's no progress we get stuck and so the thing doesn't work properly and it's a very bad way of thinking about identity so on my feed i saw this thing about i just said something bad about my feed didn't i i should stop saying it like that for some random reason i can't imagine something about cheerleaders turned up in my and i read this story about cheerleaders and it's a fascinating story

the teacher can't log into because the school has blocked access to so the teacher can't log into until she gets home so the girl tells her friends guess what happened the teacher logged in she knows so the girls just all logged into on their phones and deleted their profiles and so when the teacher logged in there was nothing there my point is those identities they don't think about them the same way identity is especially when you're a teenager a fluid thing you have lots of identities and you can have an identity you don't like it because it's subverted in some way or it's insecure or it's inappropriate you just delete it and get another one

imagine what it was like for them when i showed up at their doorstep at that point i had gained four pounds so i was pounds i was bald i was wearing hospital and somebody donated tennis shoes for me and i had a white cane in one hand and a suitcase full of medical records in another hand so the senior citizens realized that they needed to have an emergency meeting

so they eventually started matching their talents and skills to all of my needs but one of the first things they needed to do was assess what i needed right away i needed to figure out how to eat like a normal human being since i'd been eating through a tube in my chest and through my veins so i had to go through trying to eat again and they went through that process and then they had to figure out well she needs furniture she is sleeping in the corner of this apartment so they went to their storage lockers and all gathered their extra furniture gave me pots and pans blankets everything and then the next thing that i needed was a makeover

you can't be an independent person if you're not able to speak and you can't see so they figured not being able to see is one thing but they need to get me to talk so while sally the office manager was teaching me to speak in the day it's hard because when you're a kid you take things for granted you learn things unconsciously but for me i was an adult and it was embarrassing and i had to learn how to coordinate my new throat with my tongue and my new teeth and my lips and capture the air and get the word out so i acted like a two and refused to work but the men had a better idea they were going to make it fun for me so they were teaching me cuss word scrabble at night

it and horrible things were happening to me i had no idea what was going on but strangers intervened kept my heart moving beating i say moving because it was quivering and they were trying to put a beat back into it somebody was smart and put a bic pen in my neck to open up my airway so i could get some air in there and my lung collapsed so somebody cut me open and put a pen in there as well to stop that catastrophic event from happening somehow i ended up at the hospital

some of the greatest innovations and developments in the world often happen at the intersection of two fields so tonight i'd like to tell you about the intersection that i'm most excited about at this very moment which is entertainment and robotics so if we're trying to make robots that can be more expressive and that can connect better with us in society maybe we should look to some of the human professionals of artificial emotion and personality that occur in the dramatic arts i'm also interested in creating new technologies for the arts and to attract people to science and technology some people in the last decade or two have started creating artwork with technology with my new venture marilyn i would like to use art to create tech

i'd like to introduce you to one of our first robots data he's named after the star trek character i think he's going to be super popular we've got the robot in his head is a database of a lot of jokes now each of these jokes is labeled with certain attributes so it knows something about the subject it knows about the length it knows how much it's moving and so it's going to try to watch your response i actually have no idea what my robot is going to do today

some of you in this middle section you have paddles if you like what's going on show the green if you don't like the subject or the performance you can hold the red now don't be shy it's just a robot it doesn't have feelings yet

now it's the russians leading the drug war and not us most politicians in my country want to roll back the drug war now put fewer people behind bars not more and i'm proud to say as an american that we now lead the world in reforming marijuana policies it's now legal for medical purposes in almost half our states millions of people can purchase their marijuana their medicine in licensed and over half my fellow citizens now say it's time to legally regulate and tax marijuana more or less like alcohol that's what colorado and washington are doing and uruguay and others are sure to follow so that's what i do work to end the drug war i think it all started growing up in a fairly religious moral family eldest son of a rabbi going off to university where i smoked some marijuana and i liked it
| 1
|
6,257
|
now with marijuana that obviously means legally regulating and taxing it like alcohol the benefits of doing so are enormous the risks minimal will more people use marijuana maybe but it's not going to be young people because it's not going to be legalized for them and quite frankly they already have the best access to marijuana i think it's going to be older people it's going to be people in their and and who find they prefer a little marijuana to that drink in the evening or the sleeping pill or that it helps with their arthritis or diabetes or maybe helps spice up a long term marriage

we do this some people especially in latin america think it's not really about drugs it's just a subterfuge for advancing the realpolitik interests of the u s but by and large that's not it we don't want gangsters and guerrillas funded with illegal drug money terrorizing and taking over other nations no the fact is america really is crazy when it comes to drugs i mean don't forget we're the ones who thought that we could prohibit alcohol so think about our global drug war not as any sort of rational policy but as the international projection of a domestic psychosis

i'm a computer science professor and my area of expertise is computer and information security when i was in graduate school i had the opportunity to overhear my grandmother describing to one of her fellow senior citizens what i did for a living apparently i was in charge of making sure that no one stole the computers from the university
| 1
|
6,261
|
but that's not the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard anyone say about my work the most ridiculous thing i ever heard is i was at a dinner party and a woman heard that i work in computer security and she asked me if she said her computer had been infected by a virus and she was very concerned that she might get sick from it that she could get this virus

one is radios radios are used by law enforcement and all kinds of government agencies and people in combat to communicate and there's an encryption option on these phones this is what the phone looks like it's not really a phone it's more of a two way radio motorola makes the most widely used one and you can see that they're used by secret service they're used in combat it's a very very common standard in the u s and elsewhere so one question the researchers asked themselves is could you block this thing right could you run a denial because these are first responders so would a terrorist organization want to black out the ability of police and fire to communicate at an emergency they found that there's this device used for that happens to operate at the same exact frequency as the and they built what they called my first jammer

so the first one i'm going to talk about are implanted medical devices now medical devices have come a long way technologically

i'm going to talk about are implanted medical devices now medical devices have come a long way technologically you can see in the first pacemaker was invented the first internal pacemaker was implanted hopefully a little smaller than that one that you see there and the technology has continued to move forward in we hit an important milestone from the perspective of computer security and why do i say that because that's when implanted devices inside of people started to have networking capabilities one thing that brings us close to home is we look at dick cheney's device he had a device that pumped blood from an aorta to another part of the heart and as you can see at the bottom there it was controlled by a computer controller and if you ever thought that software liability was very important get one of these inside of you now what a research team did was they got their hands on what's called an
| 0
|
6,265
|
now what a research team did was they got their hands on what's called an this is a defibrillator and this is a device that goes into a person to control their heart rhythm and these have saved many lives well in order to not have to open up the person every time you want to reprogram their device or do some diagnostics on it they made the thing be able to communicate and what this research team did is they reverse engineered the wireless protocol and they built the device you see pictured here with a little antenna that could talk the protocol to the device and thus control it in order to make their experience real they were unable to find any volunteers and so they went and they got some ground beef and some bacon and they wrapped it all up to about the size of a human being's area where the device would go and they stuck the device inside it to perform their experiment somewhat realistically they launched many many successful attacks one that i'll highlight here is changing the patient's name i don't know why you would want to do that but i sure wouldn't want that done to me and they were able to change therapies including disabling the device and this is with a real commercial off device simply by performing reverse engineering and sending wireless signals to it

we cut the part where you said you're not going anywhere because you'll be in september baby's coming and your coach said age is always important but in tennis it's very important but he has no doubt that you're coming back have you thought am i coming back will i take some time off i know the women on the tour are saying how long does it take to have a baby two years will she be gone what are you thinking well i'm always trying to defy the odds you know so for me everything is really mental i definitely plan on coming back i'm not done yet i'm really inspired by my sister she's a year older than me and that's something that if she's still playing i know i can play

6,271

no in fact people close to you say you're a very bad loser i'm not the best loser that you're very very very bad listen no athlete no champion likes to lose i get that but they say when it comes to losing you are very very very bad at it

when you heard the news were you excited were you afraid were you worried that you were pregnant i mean so i heard it two days before the beginning of the australian open which is one of the biggest grand slams you found out two days before yeah so it was two days before and i knew i was nervous i wasn't quite sure what to think but i just knew that at that moment it was really important for me to just focus right there at the australian open and i was definitely not sure what to do
| 0
|
6,277
|
it was two days before and i knew i was nervous i wasn't quite sure what to think but i just knew that at that moment it was really important for me to just focus right there at the australian open and i was definitely not sure what to do i was like can i play i know it's very dangerous maybe sometimes in the first weeks or so so i had a lot of questions but not only did you play ms williams you won yeah may i just say grand slams to you thank you

while pregnant well i was looking for another handicap so no did you play differently that game knowing you were pregnant i did it wasn't very easy you hear all these stories about people when they're pregnant they get sick and they get tired

6,281
|
even when i was coming here people stopped me at the airport i was saying to the flight attendant the pilot guess where i'm going they said oh my god we're so glad she's pregnant but then you always have these cranky yankees on the way over here somebody was telling me about who said some very unkind inappropriate dare i say racial things you have responded to him i'm not even going to dignify what he said but you responded why did you respond well i think there are very inappropriate comments and not only that i've been really supportive of my peers and the people that i've worked with i've been a pro for almost years and so for me it's really important to hold women up and it's something that these young women they'll come to the locker room they'll want to take pictures with me and for me it's just like i want to be able to be a good leader and a good example for them so not only not only did he have rude things to say about me and my peers i felt it was important for us to stand up for each other and to stand up for myself

big operation but some great news is that advances in care have allowed us to develop minimally invasive approaches to this surgery through a small pinhole a camera can be inserted led into the deep brain structure and cause a little hole in a membrane that allows all that fluid to drain much like it would in a sink all of a sudden the brain is no longer under pressure can re expand and we cure the child through a single hole incision but here's the problem is relatively rare and there are no good training methods to get really good at getting this scope to the right place but surgeons have been quite creative about this even our own and they've come up with training models here's the current training model

i kid you not this is a red pepper not made in hollywood it's real red pepper and what surgeons do is they stick a scope into the pepper and they do what is called a

i thought i would start with a case just to really describe the challenge ahead and why this technology is not just going to improve health care but why it's critical to health care this is a child that's born young girl day of life zero we call it the first day of life just born into the world and just as she's being born we notice very quickly that she is deteriorating her heart rate is going up her blood pressure is going down she's breathing very very fast and the reason for this is displayed in this chest x ray that's called a a full x ray of a child's body a little infant's body as you look on the top side of this that's where the heart and lungs are supposed to be

|
6,287
|
that's called a a full x ray of a child's body a little infant's body as you look on the top side of this that's where the heart and lungs are supposed to be as you look at the bottom end that's where the abdomen is and that's where the intestines are supposed to be and you can see how there's sort of that translucent area that made its way up into the right side of this child's chest and those are the intestines in the wrong place as a result they're pushing on the lungs and making it very difficult for this poor baby to breathe the fix for this problem is to take this child immediately to the operating room bring those intestines back into the abdomen let the lungs expand and allow this child to breathe again but before she can go to the operating room she must get whisked away to the where i work i work with surgical teams

then i built the temporary structure this is the first temporary building made out of paper there are tubes diameter centimeters there are only tubes with a diameter of centimeters or four feet wide as you see it in the photo inside is the toilet in case you're finished with toilet paper you can tear off the inside of the wall

so he never trusted me but i didn't give up i started commuting to kobe and i met the society of vietnamese people they were living like this with very poor plastic sheets in the park so i proposed to rebuild i raised did fundraising i made a paper tube shelter for them and in order to make it easy to be built by students and also easy to demolish i used beer crates as a foundation i asked the kirin beer company to propose because at that time the asahi beer company made their plastic beer crates red which doesn't go with the color of the paper tubes the color coordination is very important and also i still remember we were expecting to have a beer inside the plastic beer crate but it came empty

then i completed the pompidou center in metz it's a very popular museum now and i created a big monument for the government
| 0
|
6,293
|
but then i was very disappointed at my profession as an architect because we are not helping we are not working for society but we are working for privileged people rich people government developers they have money and power those are invisible so they hire us to visualize their power and money by making monumental architecture that is our profession even historically it's the same even now we are doing the same so i was very disappointed that we are not working for society even though there are so many people who lost their houses by natural disasters but i must say they are no longer natural disasters

i tried to call deep on my courage and i thought you know i am a storyteller i'm a qualitative researcher i collect stories that's what i do and maybe stories are just data with a soul and maybe i'm just a storyteller and so i said you know what why don't you just say i'm a researcher storyteller and she went ha ha there's no such thing
| 1
|
6,297
|
and this is where my story starts when i was a young researcher doctoral student my first year i had a research professor who said to us here's the thing if you cannot measure it it does not exist and i thought he was just sweet talking me i was like really and he was like absolutely and so you have to understand that i have a bachelor's and a master's in social work and i was getting my ph d in social work so my entire academic career was surrounded by people who kind of believed in the life's messy love it and i'm more of the life's messy clean it up organize it and put it into a bento box
| 1
|
6,299
|
and you know how i feel about vulnerability i hate vulnerability and so i thought this is my chance to beat it back with my measuring stick i'm going in i'm going to figure this stuff out i'm going to spend a year i'm going to totally deconstruct shame i'm going to understand how vulnerability works and i'm going to outsmart it so i was ready and i was really excited as you know it's not going to turn out well
| 1
|
6,302
|
and it did i call it a breakdown my therapist calls it a spiritual awakening
| 1
|
6,304
|
i was like what does that mean and they're like i'm just saying you know don't bring your measuring stick
| 1
|
6,305
|
i was like okay so i found a therapist my first meeting with her diana i brought in my list of the way the whole hearted live and i sat down and she said how are you and i said i'm great i'm okay she said what's going on and this is a therapist who sees therapists because we have to go to those because their b s meters are good
| 1
|
6,306
|
and so i said here's the thing i'm struggling and she said what's the struggle and i said well i have a vulnerability issue and i know that vulnerability is the core of shame and fear and our struggle for worthiness but it appears that it's also the birthplace of joy of creativity of belonging of love and i think i have a problem and i need some help and i said but here's the thing no family stuff no childhood shit
| 1
|
6,309
|
and so i thought you know what this is the career for me because i am interested in some messy topics but i want to be able to make them not messy
| 0
|
6,311
|
so very quickly really about six weeks into this research i ran into this unnamed thing that absolutely unraveled connection in a way that i didn't understand or had never seen and so i pulled back out of the research and thought i need to figure out what this is and it turned out to be shame and shame is really easily understood as the fear of disconnection is there something about me that if other people know it or see it that i won't be worthy of connection the things i can tell you about it it's universal we all have it the only people who don't experience shame have no capacity for human empathy or connection no one wants to talk about it and the less you talk about it the more you have it what underpinned this shame this i'm not good enough which we all know that feeling i'm not blank enough i'm not thin enough rich enough beautiful enough smart enough promoted enough

at one point people were sending me journal pages and sending me their stories thousands of pieces of data in six years and i kind of got a handle on it

what do these people have in common i have a slight office supply addiction but that's another talk so i had a manila folder and i had a sharpie and i was like what am i going to call this research and the first words that came to my mind were whole hearted these are whole hearted people living from this deep sense of worthiness so i wrote at the top of the manila folder and i started looking at the data

what do these people have in common i have a slight office supply addiction but that's another talk so i had a manila folder and i had a sharpie and i was like what am i going to call this research and the first words that came to my mind were whole hearted these are whole hearted people living from this deep sense of worthiness so i wrote at the top of the manila folder and i started looking at the data in fact i did it first in a four day very intensive data analysis where i went back pulled the interviews the stories pulled the incidents what's the theme what's the pattern my husband left town with the kids because i always go into this jackson pollock crazy thing where i'm just writing and in my researcher mode and so here's what i found what they had in common was a sense of courage and i want to separate courage and bravery for you for a minute
| 0
|
6,316
|
what they had in common was a sense of courage and i want to separate courage and bravery for you for a minute courage the original definition of courage when it first came into the english language it's from the latin word cor meaning heart and the original definition was to tell the story of who you are with your whole heart and so these folks had very simply the courage to be imperfect they had the compassion to be kind to themselves first and then to others because as it turns out we can't practice compassion with other people if we can't treat ourselves kindly and the last was they had connection and this was the hard part as a result of authenticity they were willing to let go of who they thought they should be in order to be who they were which you have to absolutely do that for connection the other thing that they had in common was this they fully embraced vulnerability they believed that what made them vulnerable made them beautiful they didn't talk about vulnerability being comfortable nor did they really talk about it being excruciating as i had heard it earlier in the shame interviewing

and it becomes this dangerous cycle one of the things that i think we need to think about is why and how we numb

6,320

of the things that i think we need to think about is why and how we numb and it doesn't just have to be addiction the other thing we do is we make everything that's uncertain certain religion has gone from a belief in faith and mystery to certainty i'm right you're wrong shut up that's it just certain

and when you hold those perfect little babies in your hand our job is not to say look at her she's perfect my job is just to keep her perfect make sure she makes the tennis team by fifth grade and yale by seventh that's not our job our job is to look and say you know what you're imperfect and you're wired for struggle but you are worthy of love and belonging that's our job show me a generation of kids raised like that and we'll end the problems i think that we see today we pretend that what we do doesn't have an effect on people we do that in our personal lives we do that corporate whether it's a bailout an oil spill

now a lot of our effort on this one as many of you probably know a test is a very controversial test it's used to test for prostate cancer but there are all sorts of reasons why your prostate might be enlarged and so we spent a good deal of our time indicating that we again personalized the risks so this patient is in their so we can actually give them a very precise estimate of what their risk for prostate cancer is in this case it's about percent based on that and then again the follow up actions so our cost for this was less than dollars all right that's what wired magazine spent on this

6,325

i'm going to be talking to you about how we can tap a really underutilized resource in health care which is the patient or as i like to use the scientific term people because we are all patients we are all people even doctors are patients at some point so i want to talk about that as an opportunity that we really have failed to engage with very well in this country and in fact worldwide if you want to get at the big part i mean from a public health level where my training is you're looking at behavioral issues you're looking at things where people are actually given information and they're not following through with it

it did be serious i can't tell you how many times i've been scolded in the park for letting my kids play on the ground heaven forbid they play in the dirt the kal or even worse water that will kill them i have been told by and that we shouldn't let our kids play so much because life is serious and we need to train them for the seriousness of life we have a serious running through it's a social gene running through us it's a serious gene it's years of it that's created what i call the baba factor

what happens then it goes into education where we have an antiquated education system that has little changed for years that values rote learning and standardization and self expression self exploration questioning creativity and play it's a crap system true story i went looking for a school for my kid we went to this prestigious little school and they say they're going to study math times a week and science eight times a week and reading five times a day and all this stuff and we said well what about play and recess and they said ha there won't be a single moment in the schedule

and it's a crime that our education system is so serious because education is serious that we're creating mindless robotic workers to put bolts in pre drilled holes but i'm sorry the problems of today are not the problems of the industrial revolution we need adaptability the ability to learn how to be creative and innovative we don't need mechanized workers but no now our goes into work where we don't value play we create robotic workers that we treat like assets to lever and just throw away what are qualities of a bulgarian work autocratic do what i say because i'm the chef i'm the boss and i know better than you you're obviously a criminal so i'm going to install cameras

i'm here today to start a revolution now before you get up in arms or you break into song or you pick a favorite color i want to define what i mean by revolution by revolution i mean a drastic and far reaching change in the way we think and behave the way we think and the way we behave now why steve why do we need a revolution we need a revolution because things aren't working they're just not working and that makes me really sad because i'm sick and tired of things not working

but a subset of them will fire even when i watch somebody else being touched in the same location so here again you have neurons which are enrolled in empathy now the question then arises if i simply watch another person being touched why do i not get confused and literally feel that touch sensation merely by watching somebody being touched i mean i empathize with that person but i don't literally feel the touch well that's because you've got receptors in your skin touch and pain receptors going back into your brain and saying don't worry you're not being touched so empathize by all means with the other person but do not actually experience the touch otherwise you'll get confused and muddled okay so there is a feedback signal that vetoes the signal of the mirror preventing you from consciously experiencing that touch but if you remove the arm you simply my arm so you put an injection into my arm the plexus so the arm is numb and there is no sensations coming in if i now watch you being touched i literally feel it in my hand in other words you have dissolved the barrier between you and other human beings so i call them gandhi neurons or empathy neurons

i'd like to talk to you today about the human brain which is what we do research on at the university of california just think about this problem for a second here is a lump of flesh about three pounds which you can hold in the palm of your hand but it can contemplate the vastness of interstellar space it can contemplate the meaning of infinity ask questions about the meaning of its own existence about the nature of god and this is truly the most amazing thing in the world

another approach to getting people to have stronger passwords is to use a password meter here are some examples you may have seen these on the internet when you were creating passwords we decided to do a study to find out whether these password meters actually work do they actually help people have stronger passwords and if so which ones are better so we tested password meters that were different sizes shapes colors different words next to them and we even tested one that was a dancing bunny as you type a better password the bunny dances faster and faster so this was pretty fun what we found was that password meters do work

we got some interesting results and those of you tepper students in the back will be very interested in this so we found that the passwords created by people affiliated with the school of computer science were actually times stronger than those affiliated with the business school we have lots of other really interesting demographic information as well the other interesting thing that we found is that when we compared the carnegie mellon passwords to the mechanical turk generated passwords there was actually a lot of similarities and so this helped validate our research method and show that actually collecting passwords using these mechanical turk studies is actually a valid way to study passwords so that was good news okay i want to close by talking about some insights i gained while on sabbatical last year in the carnegie mellon art school one of the things that i did is i made a number of quilts and i made this quilt here it's called security blanket

i am a computer science and engineering professor here at carnegie mellon and my research focuses on usable privacy and security and so my friends like to give me examples of their frustrations with computing systems especially frustrations related to unusable privacy and security so passwords are something that i hear a lot about a lot of people are frustrated with passwords and it's bad enough when you have to have one really good password that you can remember but nobody else is going to be able to guess but what do you do when you have accounts on a hundred different systems and you're supposed to have a unique password for each of these systems it's tough at carnegie mellon they used to make it actually pretty easy for us to remember our passwords

and in this meeting it went on for weeks in the press two weeks where there was huge discussion the government finally made a decision that the vagina monologues could not be performed in uganda but the amazing news was that because they had stood up these women and because they had been willing to risk their security it began a discussion that not only happened in uganda but all of africa as a result this production which had already sold out every single person in that audience except for people made a decision to keep the money they raised dollars on a production that never occurred there's a young woman named carrie in minnesota she's a high school student she had seen the vagina monologues and she was really moved and as a result she wore an i heart my vagina button to her high school in minnesota

she was basically threatened to be expelled from school they told her she couldn't love her vagina in high school that it was not a legal thing that it was not a moral thing that it was not a good thing so she really struggled with this what to do because she was a senior and she was doing well in her school and she was threatened expulsion so what she did is she got all her friends together i believe it was students all wore i love my vagina t shirts and the boys wore i love her vagina t shirts to school

i began the vagina monologues because i was worried about i'm very worried today about this notion this world this prevailing kind of force of security i see this word hear this word feel this word everywhere real security security checks security watch security clearance why has all this focus on security made me feel so much more insecure what does anyone mean when they talk about real security and why have we as americans particularly become a nation that strives for security above all else in fact i think that security is elusive it's impossible we all die we all get old we all get sick

and they found that the average engaged in about tasks in a week each task was made up of many many many sub choices of course percent of their decisions were made in nine minutes or less only about percent of the decisions did they make an hour or more of their time think about your own choices do you know how many choices make it into your nine minute category versus your one hour category how well do you think you're doing at managing those choices today i want to talk about one of the biggest modern day choosing problems that we have which is the choice overload problem i want to talk about the problem and some potential solutions now as i talk about this problem i'm going to have some questions for you and i'm going to want to know your answers so when i ask you a question since i'm blind only raise your hand if you want to burn off some calories

many choices you make in a typical day do you know how many choices you make in typical week i recently did a survey with over americans and the average number of choices that the typical american reports making is about in a typical day there was also recently a study done with in which they followed around for a whole week and these scientists simply documented all the various tasks that these engaged in and how much time they spent engaging in making decisions related to these tasks and they found that the average engaged in about tasks in a week

so for my first question for you today are you guys ready to hear about the choice overload problem thank you so when i was a graduate student at stanford university i used to go to this very very upscale grocery store at least at that time it was truly upscale it was a store called now this store it was almost like going to an amusement park they had different kinds of mustards and vinegars and over different kinds of fruits and vegetables and more than two dozen different kinds of bottled water and this was during a time when we actually used to drink tap water

i one day decided to pay a visit to the manager and i asked the manager is this model of offering people all this choice really working and he pointed to the busloads of tourists that would show up everyday with cameras ready usually we decided to do a little experiment and we picked jam for our experiment here's their jam aisle they had different kinds of jam we set up a little tasting booth right near the entrance of the store we there put out six different flavors of jam or different flavors of jam and we looked at two things first in which case were people more likely to stop sample some jam more people stopped when there were about percent than when there were six about percent the next thing we looked at is in which case were people more likely to buy a jar of jam now we see the opposite effect of the people who stopped when there were only three percent of them actually bought a jar of jam

the nicest thing is how they start to understand the electronics around them from everyday that they don't learn at schools for example how a works or why an elevator door stays open or how an responds to touch we've also been taking to design schools so for example we've had designers with no experience with electronics whatsoever start to play with as a material here you see with felt and paper water bottles we have geordie making a few weeks ago we took to and gave them to some designers with no experience in engineering whatsoever just cardboard wood and paper and told them make something here's an example of a project they made a motion activated confetti canon ball

this may sound strange but i'm a big fan of the concrete block the first concrete blocks were manufactured in with a very simple idea modules made of cement of a fixed measurement that fit together very quickly concrete blocks became the most used construction unit in the world they enabled us to to build things that were larger than us buildings bridges one brick at a time essentially concrete blocks had become the building block of our time almost a hundred years later in lego came up with this

almost a hundred years later in lego came up with this it was called the automatic binding brick and in a few short years lego bricks took place in every household it's estimated that over billion bricks have been produced or bricks for every person on the planet you don't have to be an engineer to make beautiful houses beautiful bridges beautiful buildings lego made it accessible lego has essentially taken the concrete block the building block of the world and made it into the building block of our imagination meanwhile the exact same year at bell labs the next revolution was about to be announced the next building block

but what we don't understand is here we are in los angeles we worked very hard to get the smog reduction happening here in los angeles but guess what because they're doing so much dirty production in asia now because the environmental laws don't protect the people in asia now almost all of the clean air gains and the toxic air gains that we've achieved here in california have been wiped out by dirty air coming over from asia so we all are being hit we all are being impacted it's just that the poor people get it first and worst but the dirty production the burning of toxins the lack of environmental standards in asia is actually creating so much dirty air pollution it's coming across the ocean and has erased our gains here in california we're back where we were in the and so we're on one planet and we have to be able to get to the root of these problems

so i had to choose another career and this was in fact relatively easy for me because i had an abiding passion all the way through my childhood which was international relations as a child i read the newspaper thoroughly i was fascinated by the cold war by the negotiations over intermediate range nuclear missiles the proxy war between the soviet union and the u s in angola or afghanistan these things really interested me and so i decided quite at an early age i wanted to be a diplomat and i one day i announced this to my parents and my father denies this story to this day i said daddy i want to be a diplomat and he turned to me and he said carne you have to be very clever to be a diplomat

i was the chief british negotiator on the subject and i was steeped in the issue and anyway my tour it was kind of a very exciting time i mean it was very dramatic diplomacy we went through several wars during my time in new york i negotiated for my country the resolution in the security council of the of september condemning the attacks of the day before which were of course deeply present to us actually living in new york at the time so it was kind of the best of time worst of times kind of experience i lived the high life although i worked very long hours i lived in a penthouse in union square i was a single british diplomat in new york city you can imagine what that might have meant

my story is a little bit about war it's about disillusionment it's about death and it's about rediscovering idealism in all of that wreckage and perhaps also there's a lesson about how to deal with our screwed up fragmenting and dangerous world of the century i don't believe in straightforward narratives

and perhaps also there's a lesson about how to deal with our screwed up fragmenting and dangerous world of the century i don't believe in straightforward narratives i don't believe in a life or history written as decision a led to consequence b led to consequence c these neat narratives that we're presented with and that perhaps we encourage in each other i believe in randomness and one of the reasons i believe that is because me becoming a diplomat was random i'm colorblind i was born unable to see most colors this is why i wear gray and black most of the time and i have to take my wife with me to chose clothes and i'd always wanted to be a fighter pilot when i was a boy i loved watching planes barrel over our holiday home in the countryside

well within a few days i'm able to do one crossing so i cut one rope off and the next day one rope off and a few days later i was practicing on a single tightrope now you can imagine at that time i had to switch the ridiculous boots for some slippers so that is how in case there are people here in the audience who would like to try this is how not to learn wire walking

so i start the walk everything is fine i stop in the middle i make the dove appear people applaud in delight and then in the most magnificent gesture i send the bird of peace into the azure but the bird instead of flying away goes flop flop flop and lands on my head

now i'm not supposed to share that with you but i have to show you the card is hidden in the back of the hand now that manipulation was broken down into seven moves described over seven pages one two three four five six and seven and let me show you something else the cards were bigger than my hands two months later six years old i'm able to do one two three four five six seven and i go to see a famous magician and proudly ask him well what do you think six years old the magician looked at me and said this is a disaster

and i go to see a famous magician and proudly ask him well what do you think six years old the magician looked at me and said this is a disaster you cannot do that in two seconds and have a minuscule part of the card showing for the move to be professional it has to be less than one second and it has to be perfect two years later one and i'm not cheating it's in the back it's perfect passion is the motto of all my actions

comes out of a philosophy that says the only way for me to be human is for you to reflect my humanity back at me but if you're like me my humanity is more like a window i don't really see it i don't pay attention to it until there's you know like a bug that's dead on the window then suddenly i see it and usually it's never good it's usually when i'm cussing in traffic at someone who is trying to drive their car and drink coffee and send emails and make notes so what really says is that there is no way for us to be human without other people it's really very simple but really very complicated so i thought i should start with some stories i should tell you some stories about remarkable people so i thought i'd start with my mother

this woman during the war we were caught in the war it was my mother with five little children it takes her one year through refugee camp after refugee camp to make her way to an airstrip where we can fly out of the country at every single refugee camp she has to face off soldiers who want to take my elder brother mark who was nine and make him a boy soldier can you imagine this five woman standing up to men with guns who want to kill us all through that one year my mother never cried one time not once but when we were in lisbon in the airport about to fly to england this woman saw my mother wearing this dress which had been washed so many times it was basically see through with five really hungry looking kids came over and asked her what had happened and she told this woman and so this woman emptied out her suitcase and gave all of her clothes to my mother and to us and the toys of her kids who didn't like that very much but that was the only time she cried
