Adverbs of degree

that we fail to notice how terrible they really are.

I'd like to talk to you today about this problem,

First, I'd like to take you back to a frosty night in Harlem in 2011

I was sitting in a dive bar outside of Columbia University,

where I studied computer science and neuroscience,

and I was having this great conversation with a fellow student

about the power of holograms to one day replace computers.

And just as we were getting to the best part of the conversation,

And he pulls it towards himself, and he looks down and he starts typing.

And then he forces his eyeballs back up to mine and he goes,

I noticed another student holding his phone,

He was swiping through pictures on Instagram,

and these kids were laughing hysterically.

And that dichotomy between how crappy I was feeling

and how happy they were feeling about the same technology,

And the more I thought of it, the more I realized

it was clearly not the digital information that was the bad guy here,

it was simply the display position that was separating me from my friend

and that was binding those kids together.

See, they were connected around something,

just like our ancestors who evolved their social cognitions

And that's exactly what tools should do, I think.

And I think computers today are doing quite the opposite.

Whether you're sending an email to your wife

you're doing it in pretty much the same way.

fumbling with buttons and menus and more rectangles.

I think we can start using a much more natural machine.

We should use machines that bring our work back into the world.

We should use machines that use the principles of neuroscience

to extend our senses versus going against them.

Now it just so happens that I have such a machine here.

Now in front of me right now, I can see the audience,

we're going to see an immersive hologram appear,

a very realistic hologram appear in front of me,

of our very glasses I'm wearing on my head right now.

And of course this could be anything that we're shopping for

to very nicely kind of move it around with fine control.

We're going to come back to this in just a bit.

Now if you're anything like me, your mind is already reeling

with the possibilities of what we can do with this kind of technology,

instead of having to use these 2D floor plans.

She's actually touching graphics right now

This was all shot through a GoPro through our very glasses.

And this next use case is very personal to me,

it's Professor Adam Gazzaley's glass brain project,

about the ability to learn and memorize these complex brain structures

where I could touch and play with the various brain structures.

Now what you're seeing is called augmented reality,

but to me, it's part of a much more important story --

a story of how we can begin to extend our bodies with digital devices,

in the next few years, humanity's going to go through a shift, I think.

We're going to start putting an entire layer of digital information

And what I think we need to do as a community,

to imagine how we can create this new reality

in a way that extends the human experience,

or cluttering it with digital information.
