Technology and me, il ritardo cronico della cultura sulla tecnologia | Marco Paolini | TEDxPadova

«Cerco di raccontare delle storie che diano una speranza a chi è nato dopo di me». Marco Paolini parlerà di futuro, del domani che ci aspetta. Con il suo stile, con la sua profondità.

E’ attore, scrittore, produttore cinematografico. Un volto intenso, una voce profonda, artista capace di accendere grandi emozioni con il suo teatro di denuncia, con i monologhi sulle tragedie d’Italia, dal Vajont a Ustica. O di condire con la sua inconfondibile ironia la messa in scena del Milione o di Itis Galileo. Perché Marco Paolini, amatissimo in Veneto, sua terra di origine, è un narratore in purezza. Magnetico nella sua prosa, rigoroso nella ricerca delle fonti, nella custodia della memoria, di un passato che insegna, da cui trarre lezioni, da non dimenticare, mai. Marco Paolini è uno scultore della parola. Uno che non ha paura del buio attorno, uno che da solo riesce a riempire il palcoscenico. Anche quello del Teatro Verdi, dove ha già lasciato impronte indelebili.

Is technology really ruining your life? | David Ellis | TEDxLancasterU

https://youtube.com/watch?v=mNKN4dHGQKg

It is almost impossible to avoid laptops, social media, emails, and smartphones.  Many of these technologies were developed to help organise our lives, while others promise to keep us fitter and happier for longer. But does all this technology have unintended consequences? David Ellis holds a 50th Anniversary Lectureship in Psychology at Lancaster University and an Honorary Research Fellowship at The University of Lincoln. Much of his work considers how recent methodological developments in technology and data collection (often referred to as digital traces) can reveal information about individuals and their behaviour. He has published on these topics in The Lancet Public Health, the International Journal of Neural Systems, Computers in Human Behavior, Cyberpsychology, Behavior and Social Networking and other journals.
