TEDxAthens - Dimitris Achlioptas - How to share your brain

Dimitris Achlioptas at TEDxAthens 2010, in Athens, Greece, gives a great talk on how to share your brain.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event
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)

1984 (G. Orwell) will become reality if this will come true. I might be retarded but by great power comes great responsibility... As an idea in the abstract and utopian context it is fucking awesome but I do not trust such technology to governments and corporations.

He appears nervous but that doesn't deduct of the idea he presents. The seeds of several future web possibilities are there. Besides knowledge it offers insight in an immensely possible direction in socializing. Conspiracy theory-wise it does no more - or no less - profiling than the already existing structures.

He's my CS Professor! His lectures are fantastic! he definitely seems a LOT more nervous giving this talk than he is during class, haha. Great talk though =)

@digi23azlan well, true that the presenting style was a little "toned down" but the idea, the structure and the content were up there with the best of them. Bottom line: What can we do to make THIS come alive, instead of just judging it? How is it changing our lives?

[alstamatis]

A great Idea. lets hope it will implemented

[jamielin1242]

I consider myself privileged to have been there. Awesome!

I attended TedxAthens and I can assure you all that this talk was one of the best presented that day.

Personally, my favorite!

@digi23azlan If you have time, just google the guy! You 'll find out that he is a lot more than "some Greek guy".

And for the record, he is a genius!

@digi23azlan boring? no! inspiring? yes, for at least 5 of my friends - each came up with their own ideas on how to share their brains! (Or is it the Greek thing that gets to you? Because that's off the topic... :-)
