Totally agree with his message - it's like with Obama's National Defence Authorisation Act - we can't give up rights on the good faith of the current regime.

I've been saying this since i was 15.

The way he talks reminds me of the Sweede from the show Hell on Wheels :D

@TEDtalksDirector I beg you, do 'not' cut off the very end of the talk, many of us enjoy seeing the response of the crowd, it would only have been an additional few moments...

It's to the point many of us who frequent this channel have a very strong feeling amongst ourselves that we're entirely ignored. The volume for the into on those particular video's has never been adjusted down, to the discomfort of many users, and now this. It's youtube's bandwidth, not yours! Why edit like this?!? :(

Goverments want to protect us from terrorists? by going through our mail? by doing things that are against our will. Sounds a lot like I,Robot. Soon we will all be in a cage and fed through a tube, then surely no one can harm anyone.

A+++ for this talk!

[sverr0r]

Increasingly relevant subjects... Not a lot of people explaining in layman's terms what's going on with all them 0's and 1's. Thanks!

@interstellarwonder yes, that's true. Try googling for stuxnet.
