  • All discussions on any laws should be videotaped when being recorded on paper (or the written word digitized). That way, we won't need to debate the reasoning behind laws all the time. We would understand the reasoning behind it because the discussion is there and we would understand the sentiment behind the laws.

  • This guy could just poop on stage all day and I'd still give him a thumbs up. Without him there wouldn't be any TED Talks. I've learned an incredible amount watching TED Talks this past year. Love you man...and love all the TED speakers. Wish one day I'll have something great to share too

  • booooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooring

  • A really informative perspective

  • Young orchestra – Classical Music had never been appreciated by so many young people until You Tube came into the picture. You Tube is about one of the best ideas that could have came out of this century. You tube has opened the minds of many people to appreciate music from all sort of cultures. You Tube is the symphony of universal orchestration. They role in society is to orchestrate the composition of all artists into one melodic sound “exposure”. peoplebreeze com

  • I also believe that we are truly one chain of individual thoughts that comprise many ideas that we've accepted in our minds through the years, so in that sense to say that all my thoughts are totally independent from other thoughts would make me a fool or a liar. We are thought contributors, we learn from each other, we speed up innovation by introducing the missing dots to form a universal idea that advantages all of us. peoplebreeze com

  • I just googled jon chu and saw a completely different person.

  • @skinnimelon You are right. We corrected this on TED mmediately after release. There's now a corrected version on youtube too. (Search for 'Chris Anderson Youtube innovation' and it will come up.) Thanks to all for your interesting comments.

  • Sometimes i feel like i'm part of the minority that watches this sort of thing and actually feels hope for the future...

  • i wander what the response will be if he said "all niggers look alike" he would've been arrested and his face plastered in the media for weeks.......... but make fun of an asian, no one cares

  • That's not filmmaker Jon Chu, it's Campbell city council member Evan Low. -.-

  • That is not even John Chu... at least get the picture right before you do this.

  • @scytheboivirtual You are right. We corrected this on TED mmediately after release. There's now a corrected version on youtube too. (Search for 'Chris Anderson Youtube innovation' and it will come up.) 

  • lmao. he doesnt look anything like that. wtf?

  • racist

  • Before Chris Anderson gets to innovative matters, he should learn more about basic web browsing and how to find pictures of directors such as Jon Chu. That picture he shows in his presentation, is not Jon Chu. And the name of that guy pictured is nothing even remotely close to Jon Chu. I wonder if Anderson here has figured that out yet. Maybe he can start looking for the correct photo, if he hasn't already.

  • @TsugaruClan You are right. We corrected this on TED.com immediately after release. There's now a corrected version on youtube too. (Try a search for the same title, and it will come up). Thanks everyone for your comments!

  • 8 out of 10 most watched youtube clips are music videos, 3 of them by Justin Biber. The world is doomed.

  • this is just a middlemen sucking off ideas of others ...

  • who the fuck is ted

    i watch this all the time and i have never seen somone named ted

  • @jjtheslayer69 TED is an acronym. It stands for "Technology Entertainment and Design".

  • i love youtube

    its a great way to post my opinions in hopes somone will read and coverse with me when im bored in a way thats usualy relavant to the point of a video

    and it give you alot of perspective on things you usually cant get from your regular life and tv

  • This movement isn't just about dancing, it can also happen in music and so many other things and fields. You can literally download a piece of song on the other side of the globe and start interacting with the producer or the composer of the song by saying something simple as this: "I like your song"... but this is just merely an example.

  • 1st...i got the wrong chris anderson........2nd......how could there be 9 billion when we only got like 6 billion people living on earth???

  • I swear to god, TED talks get lamer and lamer. How in the hell is this speech interesting or insightful?!?! Yes, there are lots of people on YouTube and there are lots of people in the world. Yes, people learn shit on YouTube. This is not insightful. Jesus Christ. Maybe I should give a presentation at the next conference...I'll introduce the world to this thing called "Google"! It lets people search for information and billions of people use it! OMG! I'll get a standing ovation!

  • @austinguy23

    too negative, so thumbs down.

  • How is YouTube innovative?!? Hell, even the interface looks like something from a 6th grader and it craps out on me half the time I use it!

  • Ushdhdvsjd

  • so far, online video has been 100% mindless entertainment for me. I hope that it can become educational at some point.

  • drink some water man.

  • You mean by how it shoves ads down your throat and how it forces you to have your UI set up in a certain way instead of allowing you to set up your UI as you want it?

    It's not innovative, it's constricting and suffocating.

  • Intersting but it could have all been said in 5 minutes.

  • Heheh. Someone desperately wanted to get featured on YouTube's main page it seems.

  • Thumbs up 4 Christopher Makau!

  • some of them watching online right now..hey that's us....

    ...thank you sir !!!!!

  • thumbs up if you're this on youtube ...!

  • This is probably the only video I wanted removed from YouTube.

    Just for how goddamn ironical it would be.

  • Good observation about youtube, although it should be pointed out that youtube crippled its own progress by reconfiguring comments so that replies are posted elsewhere. There is no continuity to the conversations in comments. It's too bad because there are some interesting replies below, and we have no idea what the original comment may have been.

  • It's fascinating that merely seeing and empathy can cause so much change and invention. This is why a sound/audio desktop for the blind and or tactile interface should be created for their knowledge to further add to everyone's life.

  • This is my first time watching a TED video, and i must say it is a logical insight to the future.

  • Does one think about the future and learn from the past and present? Is that innovation? Perhaps innovation needs freedom of speech. Today more people have that choice too.

    E-T

  • The beauty in global innovation is that we form trade partners with every exchange of thought. This trade has value once the thoughts are transformed into a tangible solution or product. Our thoughts are the first form of trade to enhance global trade.

    E-T

  • Fascinating talk. The Rolex advert at the end seems a bit offensive somehow after the Nairobi shantytown group.

  • Besides the innovation, web also brings another very important thing to the picture: it does rise the bar for innovation. Few people would get praised for doing a so-so job. You need to be doing something really well to stand out of the crowd.

  • I see 3 problems with this idea:

    1 - There's a lot of hate on youtube.

    If you scroll down the comments of most videos, you can find a lot of antagonism (words like "idiot" or "stupid" or worse are not uncomon)

    2 - Not all ideas are good.

    An idea appears and you implement it, only to find out later that it doesn't work (or worse it creates a new problem).This is counterproductive.

    3 - Time.

    We don't have the time to listen to what everyone is saying. And if everybody is talking, who is listening?

  • @leonidasx666

    1 - No sane person would pay any real attention to that sort of thing.

    2 - Of course, but the more ideas we have, the more good ones we will be able to gather from them.

    3 - There are a lot of us. We do have the time to listen to what everyone is saying. That's what happens on platforms like Youtube, and it's what makes them special. Speakers are fully capable of listening as well; don't writers read?

  • learnt? maybe stick to a bit more school and college to supplement your youtubing, eh @treverbettis ?

  • Comment removed

  • His voice reminds me of Tony Blair!

  • anything that can be shared digitally can also become worthless, no? ie, mp3's,pdfs, torrents

  • @sleestack808 Worthless to who? If your talking about comiditizing digital video and music is worthless, I think iTunes and it's multi-billion dollar marketplace would prove you wrong. It's not that electronic distribution makes it worthless, it makes it pervasively available to the digital haves.. Ofcrouse you should realize to be on the network means you can be held accountable, do you really think your IP is hidden or the transactions you leave behind?

  • @ddnguyen278 ask anyone in the music business. Its gone to shit.

  • the microphone is too close to his mouth.

    This means I have to hear him smacking his lips. fucking gross. Plus, his voice. 

    ughh.

  • yup, always to put things in perspective, you need a prominent stage to start off. Instead of commenting under articles, you set up a website; instead of posting 1-2 minutes videos in youtube which people see as "not of quality", we post at least 5-minute videos; instead of only written thesis you post descriptive videos in JOVE. It's the way of approach(how loud you shout atop the roof, kidding) that determines how fast you pioneer.

  • Shit, is this man just justifying my YouTube addiction? Oh no, oh no...

  • Comment removed

  • @treverbettis learnt? I suppose you might want to supplement your youtube coursework with some more of that good old fashioned schooling, or perhaps just a library card. No offense

  • "..the awkward British body language..." LOL. How true!

  • Rofl puppies porn and piracy.

  • Yeah, the best part is ROLEX! ;)

  • Internet Killed Television

  • @blade8889 lol ctfxc

  • thank you captain obvious.

  • If youtube was truly innovative they wouldn't remove so much "copyrighted" material. 

  • @Michael425x That`s the problem of the copyright. Not Youtube.

  • @Michael425x they aren't the one wanting to remove it though, remember that.

  • @Michael425x Stop saying that kind of bull to get thumbs up- YouTube isn't removing copyrighted material, the companies who own the material are.

  • @Michael425x Are you going to pay all the lawsuits for copy written material????

  • @Michael425x You clearly have not understood the point of the talk.

  • Yes, there is great potential for innovation. However, the added information will make it a cacophonic mess.

  • didnt know ted was on youtube.

  • fuck-off overpopulation ..keep your legs closed for a change you breeding whores

  • This video's summary, please? :)

  • Comment removed

  • hmmm....

  • not everybody has internet

  • TED talks is the best. Unlike YouTube which lost it's integrity years ago.

  • o06uyj 51dhj 2kdij jn30e4

  • Ted Talk is awsome every great Topic is opend and spoken about to the world.

  • ووعه

  • This is hoorible because e

  • The fact that ijustine is has more views that amazing directors just shows that youtube is not as pure and amazing as this guy says. The youtube base is too young and simple to drive youtube to create quality content.

    instead a woman with big boobs will get millions of hits for hardly doing anything

  • WILLLUVSTHE411 HERE ON YOUTUBE!!

  • where can i find that dancing video at 2:04?

  • @772ggb i cant find it anywhere. please let me know if you find the dancing video. thanks

  • COME SEE HOW I PRODUCE A WHOLE SONG BY MYSELF!!!!

  • 1fcd2 vo7bd43 r35 012i

  • Stupid innovation of the world.... Some Youtube have racist dickheads who claim they finished high school. What a moron!!!

  • 6kp 810nrb 6acak 5c83u 3m3

  • Hey everyone checkout my new music videos. Thankz yall !

  • At Desteni, we are busy establishing an Equal money system and new education system where everyone would get their basic needs from birth till death as this is what is best for all. we are busy spreading the message through Vlogs as each one of us is 1 vote for world equality. our vlogs shows our own process of standing up as life according to principles of equality. through vlogs we are assisting and supporting each other globally so we can all work as one to establish dignified LIFE for ALL

  • @MayaHarelHere So you're a communist.

  • @jess1up Nope - the communist system wasn't based on actual pricniples of Equality and this is why it failed as well. Equal Money System is a combination of ideals that support all beings on earth Equally with a practical and physiacl application.

  • wow... the cameraman on stage should be fired, he's in the frame in about the first half of the video.... so annoying..

  • Awesome video! Good work!

  • hi watch this

  • 16:04+ hahahaha

  • GodTube... ROFL. What a joke..

    AtheistTube.. hahaha

  • it could also have unintended and unwanted effects. take porn for example, many men that have been exposed to porn, have unreal expectations of women. likewise for women as well. Its not all lollipops and unicorns, there are some things that are detrimental to communities.

  • Great talk Chris Anderson!

  • Umm any lecture about Youtube without mentioning TROLLS is INCOMPLETE!!!

  • 23, people miss clicked thumbs up!

  • I agree with every single commenter

  • duh, it's called the INTERNET! web video effects are basically the effects of the internet to their logical conclusion. well not conclusion because we're just at the beginning of the new information age.

  • i don't know but every body knows this information already!!

    silly lecture and silly people!

  • Fake and Gay

  • l34 6322g xcuro 2xo2t

  • LOS INVITO AVER MI DEO BUSQUELO HACI.... DILE AL AMOR CESAR CASTRO ESCOJEN EL PRIMERO

  • Sorry, but you're not saying anything new, you're just anaylzing why YouTube works. Well its simple its not the Light/Desire/Crowd its simply because it gives you the opportunity to express yourself. The success of this simple forumla is based on the hippocritical socciety that everyone is living in. God forbbid you show a human emotion or a feeling and you're "Strange", that in essence is what digital revolution is all about. Not some dancers shooting themselves. Although they are example too.

  • its true internet made jerking (thats a dance if no one knew) very cool if you think about it

    i read a article saying that people arent uploading videos on youtube alot though

    is this why ted made this video???

  • The way to really see the world . I believe more understanding of our life on earth can elevate our conscious minds.

  • This just made me believe in the concept of natural human good being real (a little).

  • this is THE MOST AWESOME INSPIRATION EVAR. thank u Chris Anderson

  • beautiful just beautiful .............

  • "You tube is driving innovation" = retarded

  • Ah, so TED thinks the 'crowd' is plundering the planet? What an interesting opinion. I think it's greedy corporations, such as BP and unethical industry driven by widening it's profit margins. Most people are just running on the wheel the elite build and tax. Kind of douchey to blame the individual, or expect them to somehow take up the slack from mass polluters. 9 billion people isn't the problem, the problem is the BPs of the world trying to make a few extra million by not installing safety.

  • great

  • Porntube :D

  • Ted is a fucking douche

  • 5da36 3isj5v 07f5w q65o7

  • I hate Ted

  • The internet is making us as close to being psychic as we had ever dreamed. I am not some big brained super futuristic human reading minds across the world. A computer and video makes that happen. If there is a disturbance in the force I can see it, feel it, almost taste it on You Tube. My husband says this is probably the way we should explore space. All of us all at once threw some avatar. Not to mention THIS is why every human is valuable.

    Jes-O, I almost cried watching this! :)

  • If EveryOne Was Equal Then No One Would Steal As Everyone Would Have All They Need.This Is Not My Idea,But I Like The Idea Of Everyone Being Equal.EveryOne Could Worship The Way They Like And Instead Of brainwashing Someone Into someone else Then People Could Make Their Own Choices.No One can be good at Everything.We All Need To Work Together.I Like The Idea Of Equality,but as long as currency exists there will always be inequality.terrorists have been online in the past which is sad. Peace

  • Technology is Good if We use it To Help Eachother.I Heard Someone Talking About A Free Resource Based System.This Would Be Good As All Could Work At Doing Jobs To Help Eachother Out And All Could Have The Same Benefits All Over The World.No One Would Get paid in currency.They Would Get And Have Everything They Want And Do The Jobs They Like. Technology Could Be Used To Do The jobs People Don't Like.Everyone All Around The World Would Be Equal That Way.No More Big Government and No Need TO vote.

  • I handle an I am a conservasionist people ask me how can I love snakes crocs the animals that kill more humans are mosquitos well after humans well sone youtube

  • this was certainly the case a few years ago when youtube had a much more hands of approach and didnt really promote videos. this day in age youtube is becomming more and more like tv, where you only get to see what you are supposed to see, which is things that doesent challenge your perspective on the world which you were so carefully given.

  • @fergus247

    Whatever... the videos are out there... just search.

  • ATTENTION STONERS """"Search: ONE TOOTH PIMP, IT IS A FUNNY SKIT THIS GUY MADE 10 YEARS AGO, please search: ONE TOOTH PIMP.thank you, EVERYBODY LUV ME

  • I'm the teacher? Woah. The internet helps people come together and collaborate and contribute? Woah.

    I very much like his message of a global group, but all this information has been discussed before and even in video, maybe even by a British man. However what we need to do is find a way to refine our information, too much data is repeated over and over again, hiding the gems of knowledge that haven't been discovered yet. In short, good talk, same message.

  • excellent talk

  • loved it 

  • anybody read shlain's 'alphabet vs. the goddess'?

  • Comment removed

  • It will all end up in puppy, porn and piracy...

  • I don't see how video streaming will stop us from killing each other, make us take care of the environment nor dying hunger.

    It's just communication, and people choose what to see. They choose to see the unimportant things like dancing, social networks and all that stuff that doesn't solve any problem

  • Well, all the comments to this video demonstrate, by their very diversity and soundness, the true power of crowd innovation, don't they?

  • Are we becoming like the Borg? We like it.

  • @adorianvlad redtube??? thats a porn site.

  • @adorianvlad you dumb ass there is no god

    

  • @BakaBoI21

    First define the word god, before you claim his inexistance...

    Are you talking about the beardy old man living in his cloudy kingdom?

    Because that "god"'s inexistance I can agree on...

    But there's a whole other definitions for God...

    Do you care to enlighten us?

  • @AirForceJuan3 how can you define something that doesent exist?

  • @fergus247

    A unicorn is a mythological creature that resembles a white horse, only with a horn on it's forehead.

    See, I just did.

    But even with the unicorn(Atheists seem to love the unicorn argument =P)... I cannot be a hundred percent sure that it doesn't exist.

  • @adorianvlad Redtube is great

  • @adorianvlad you forgot TEDTUBE

  • @adorianvlad Good thing

  • @adorianvlad going to? what makes you think they haven't :O

  • @adorianvlad who watches those?

  • @adorianvlad

    have you BEEN to redtube??? changed MY life :)

  • I think the internet have eaten his soul. Listen at 13:47. Its the internet lacking in his voice system.

  • I don't see how these kind of innovation, dance, unicyclist, etc. will solve world hunger and over population. You need innovation in agriculture and energy and not sure how youtube video will solve that. Because the desire for these people is crowd recognition which may or may-not earn any financial reward.

  • True innovation in Kibera at 16:46 !!

  • Its called tricking, tricking is a mixture of Gymnastics and Martial arts, not dancing, if you want a dancing martial art look
