DVD Review: Hopeful visions for the future
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a documentary I would recommend to almost anyone interested in technology, the environment and finding solutions to many of the world's most pressing problems. The TED conference is an annual event of short talks by leading scientists, business leaders and others with innovative ideas for making positive changes.
This fairly short film only shows a snapshot of the conference. I'd like to have an unabridged version. Still, the pieces shown are inspiring and thought provoking. The presenters include Al Gore, Anthony Robbins, Matt Groenig, as well as representatives from companies such as Netflix and Amazon. Of course, the most impressive and radical presentations were not made by any of the latter, but by lesser known geniuses in the sciences, technology and architecture. I found it a little annoying that Gore, who was given an extra chance to speak at the end (and attempted a kind of stand-up routine), was treated like the star of the whole conference. Whatever you think of Gore as a politician and environmentalist, I think he is more of a spokesperson for ideas than a genuine innovator or visionary himself. Still, I suppose that's the way the world works; it's necessary to have well known people to spread important ideas and politicians are generally better equipped to do this than techies, scientists and computer wizards, no matter how brilliant.
Some of the ideas presented include a plan to make $100 laptops available to all students; preventing the outbreak of future pandemics such as bird flu; new architectural models to combat homelessness around the world; creating safer burning fuels than charcoal, which apparently kills many people with its toxicity; a model for computer screens that respond to two-handed motions to replace the mouse...these are only a few highlights I recall.
The TED conference also has an online community that you can join to stay updated about some of the most creative and positive developments in the world (just do a search for TED). With all of the negative and anxiety-producing news that comes out every day, this kind of thinking is especially needed.
Description of The Future We Will Create: Inside the World of TED
An all-access, backstage pass to the hottest gathering in the world, (WIRED Magazine) THE FUTURE WE WILL CREATE is an exhilarating behind-the-scenes tour of this stimulating and paradigm-shifting meeting of the minds, an annual conference where theoretical physicists, 11-year-old violin prodigies, and venture capitalists present and exchange bold new ideas that will change everything. A veritable Cirque du Soleil of the psyche, TED (Technology Entertainment Design) brings the talent, energy, and collective spirit of the planet s top doers and thinkers together to plot a better future.Directed and narrated by actress Daphne Zuniga, this intellectually-charged film captures the best of TED 2006, including mind-blowing appearances by former Vice President Al Gore, Dr. Larry Brilliant, the man who led the successful campaign to eradicate smallpox, Nicholas Negroponte, a computer scientist with plans to put a $100 laptop into the hands of students in the developing world, the founders of Google, and many more inspired and inspiring TEDsters.
The future is now in THE FUTURE WE WILL CREATE: INSIDE THE WORLD OF TED. This entertaining and thought-provoking film will change the way you look at yourself and at the world.
