 My name is Chris Dances. They said my story is kind of one that's documented here and there I do a little bit of corporate innovation stuff with companies. I spent a lot of time on TV I don't know why I'm not that interesting and I just and I'm gonna tell you a little bit about my story today and Kind of this post internet world, I'm probably the first person on the planet who became the internet I I decided I need to figure this out and in about 2008 I took a hard look at my life and I was spending a lot of time in front of screens As a child who was raised in the 70s. I was still in front of screens. My first computer was 1979 You know, I had a computer before most people even knew what they were. I loved computers. They organized everything for me. I Computers through my adult life and then around 2006 2007. I decided I was never gonna go offline What is never going offline mean? 180 pounds and kilograms One two three four five devices I'm just logging my food. That's how much food I've eaten so far. That's how much in calories. I have left the Enna's Google and other online chinster that give him statistic for the most Calorie sleep sexual activities. I need to get laid Temperature heart rate standing ours dietary sugar carbohydrate. So everything is tracked. Oh, yeah, I'm the most connected man in the world They started in the for more sitting than one over big software I was completely a different person as you look at all the things you could measure you start to understand how you behave Then you lost quite a few pounds. Oh, yeah What's the weather tonight? The minute you go to a doctor you say, here's my privacy the minute you get a driver's license You say, here's my privacy. So you think that we've lost our privacy anyway. Yes First for so long if you leave a mechanic on sale, so I don't expect to start the end of I can take these off and be I can be human So becoming the internet's pretty easy And I believe that you guys are a lot like I am why you might not have a body full of sensors or a house full of toys You will and as you get these things you have a choice to make about how you interact with them and what you value And as most of us know we now talk to the internet a child born in 2016 will be taught by machines Some children's first words will be hello Siri And as we talk to machines it creates this paradigm shift because no longer do we select a decision We're told what the answer is right if I'm in my car and I say Siri play Madonna She just plays Madonna from Apple Music Not Madonna from Spotify Not Madonna from another service So as we limit our ability to interface with technology the choices and companies that have access to that are going to get smaller and smaller and smaller This is profound Because while the interface disappears the choices become smaller interface gives you choice And I don't see people talking about this in the news It's easy, but that doesn't mean it's right Easy is not right It's easy And I think it's time we talk about the difference Which brings us to the question now the internet has left the room. What does that mean for privacy? I actually don't believe in privacy I Think privacy is one of these things that once we unpack it a little bit will find hurts us more than helps us If you want to know anything about me, you can go to data Chris dancy calm. It's all there. I'm not that interesting spend all your time figuring it out. All right, I Just think if we got through it, we'd understand that we're all better off being transparent with each other But we have a lot to blame with the privacy debate because as people we love data and governments love data In United States we passed something in 2001 called the Patriot Act in 2007 Stoden leaked what was called prism Which was the surveillance of the internet in 2008 Barack Obama couldn't have a blackberry because it was not secure By 2014 the White House had hired a data scientist by 2015 the president was wearing a Fitbit look at this in 2008 he couldn't have a blackberry in 2015 his heart rate and sleep could be sent to a server in California Where is the news on this? Oh Not okay, okay No, if you're worried about privacy look at your leadership. They have no clue If you want and then you wonder how we got Donald Trump. I'm not smart. I'm doing what we used to do. I'm paying attention It's what we did in the 90s before we had a bunch of computers and see every time you hear the poor at privacy I want you to think economic disparity because privacy doesn't exist for the poor and It doesn't matter to the rich The rich don't care about privacy. It doesn't matter. They're rich and the poor doesn't they don't have any privacy It's just us in the middle We're stuck and the only thing we have is the secrecy around our lives and corporations have all that and spades But we could take this data and do something different with it What happens if we use the NSA for one hour and we looked for good No terrorism just one hour we're going to take all the resources and say look find me some good in the world We'd find it Let's hunt for good organizations for one hour And hey Apple let's take those devices those billions of devices and let's solve cancer illiteracy and domestic abuse one hour This is not impossible This is a choice for making as a people because we refuse to have the conversation And I'm sorry, I'm sorry to be upset But I think it's time we talk about this and we stop fetishizing the future because the future doesn't care about us We care about us We're here now Last thing we need to build solutions for every single person on earth $1,000 phones tablets $300 wearable devices don't help anyone and most of the people on earth are that group of people Because I believe it's neither if it's not accessible to the poor. It's not radical and it's not revolutionary Every single person deserves access to technology. Every single person can be freed by it Thank you so much
