TEDxWomen -- Tiffany Shlain

Tiffany Shlain, filmmaker and founder of the Webby Awards, talks about technology, love and connection, and how we are on our way to creating a giant web in which everyone in the world is connected. Shlain says that we are at the beginning of a "participatory revolution," in which people's ideas are able to interact, cross-pollinate, and reproduce on a global scale

TEDxWomen was curated and produced by The Paley Center for Media. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

how, fundementally it isn't an invention, it's human nature, we are always going to trade, and all money does is let everyone trade with everyone instead of just trading with people who want what you have and have what you want, that would be severely inefficient.

@hearv888 I agree, money is people's worst invention

[streetlif9]

it sounds like communism to an uneducated rendeck. Are you one? and btw china is just a decade away of being the biggest superpower, but anyway communism doesn't work, it's been proven, if this is your best guess than please stop writing comments and go back to your cave, thanks

[hearv888]

That sounds like communism to me... Go to China or North Korea and check their standard of living...

"you have no clue about how society would work without money" well I do not know everything what will be without it, but I have some clue. I was thinking about it for a while, and actually from my point of view is the next step in our civilization. If we focus on energy consumption and basic needs we can have a good start. I am thinking about making a video on the subject.

[hearv888]

again, we need money for trade... im not greedy, i was when i was a child... you have no clue about how society would work without money.. money has always been and always will be...

[dumbnetworks]

you cannot get rid of greed, the money is the problem, because you can have more than you consume. Greed is in human nature as sex is. you cannot cut it out. so again lets get rid of the money and we will be fine
