Just when you think you've burnt out on stupefaction, it gets better and better and better.

Massimo Banzi:
Ok. This is just plain Jetsons. Full-on Star Trek. Say hello to the future!
Massimo and his team created a prototyping system called Arduino that is basically a machine-seed. Anyone can use this ingenious micro-controller to create limitless applications and machines.
Open-sourcing of this nature takes the authority and secrecy out of manufacturing - it empowers the user. Now imagine combining this amazing technology with 3d printing and tissue engineering… WOOOAH.

Jason Silva:
WOW! Slam poetry made from every great science book you've ever read. If Stephen Hawking could rap. He calls his films"shots of philosophical espresso" which is an astonishingly accurate description! Feast your eyes and ears. This is what I want my music to do to you! http://thisisjasonsilva.com/

Raghu Dixit:
Hey world! Turns out, I LOVE INDIAN FOLK ROCK! Who knew? Oh the smile on his face when he was playing! He was like a human sparkler spraying fizzly beams of pure joy! It was infectious. I was on my feet dancing (in public, yes). The whole room got drenched by a tidal wave of good vibes coming from the stage. Wow. So good.

Antony Gormley:
And now for something completely different… I found Antony riveting. He stood out from every other speaker because of his deliberate, evocative, painterly use of language, the way he moved, the way he stood. Dressed in a white T-shirt
and gently rumpled white pants, standing easily 6"4 or so, wearing glasses with the thin round frames, and bending over slightly as if excited to tell us something… He spoke rather beautifully about "the darkness of the body", our interior limitless space. He asked "what is the relationship of the human project to time and space. Then he quoted John Cage. Sighhhh.

Daphne Koller:
A brilliant computer scientist and Stanford professor who created free, open, online Stanford University courses for anyone who wants to learn. Not just lectures, but tests, assignments - responding in real time to questions, correcting and explaining your errors! All the things that make learning stick. It's called Coursera. Ummmm… I'll see you guys in four years. ;)
