- The fifth annual TEDxToronto conference took place on September 26, 2013 at The Royal Conservatory of Music.
For our 2013 TEDxToronto Conference, all talks, performances and demos were rooted in our selected theme, "The Choices We Make."
About the Speaker:
Steve Mann, PhD, and a Professor at U of T, has been recognized as "the father of the wearable computer". Mann was the inventor of the EyeBorg camera, named one of the 50 Best Inventions of the Year by TIME. The ideas from his recent book "CYBORG: Digital Destiny and Human Possibility in the Age of the Wearable Computer" inspired a motion picture film about his life wearcam.org/cyberman.htm said by P.O.V. to be Canada's most important film of the year. He has been described as a modern-day Leonardo da Vinci and is also a sculptor and artist.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
this guy is hyper nerdy...i like him.
@croc benaouda WTF
This is someone you can tell just ... experiences reality differently than the rest of us do. It's wild to imagine what it would be like to live inside this man's head.
He made some profound and valid arguments! I appreciated the humor as well.
This is excellent, especially in today's world. More and more people seem to be realizing the necessity of sousveillance
He's so wonderfully awkward and brilliant.
so he has a computer on his head meant to display information.....and he uses cards for the presentation.
it was 2013 his pre google glass wearable computer didnt do that
I can see great synergies around digging deeply into the domain of veillance....with all its disciplines and better understanding the role that we each play in what will be the next steps for humanity. Steve is an inspiration, brave, integral and dedicated to his cause. I'm always open to pursue the same values provided they benefit humankind.
This is fascinating-must listen---to.the Integrity of systems by an imaginative inventor with a great sense of humor and fascinating resolutions.
Steve Mann's vision for the future really affects us all, doesn't it. Cyborg law and veillance justice come out of his own experience, but what will we do when the state and business assume all control over what we can see and record?
Adelantado a su tiempo - me encanta!
Ahead of his time - love it!
OMG! I took his course! awesome~
Someday someone will record their entire life and these will be time machines we will watch and share
There's a movie called The Final Cut starring Robin Williams that revolves around that idea somewhat. Not a very good movie, but the idea was interesting.
I love this guy‼️
Excellent stuff!
Alternate title: essentially world's first cyborg spits truth about society for 24 minutes straight
Awesome
why on earth does he need note cards?
awesome
this guy is up there with tesla jobs gates and musk
TIL this guy is smart enough to make a wearable camera but not smart enough to initial every page of the contract he agrees with
first
the contract signing analogy is lame, he should stick to developing technology and get just get better legal consul, not helping his own cause with these poor arguments
lets hear you do better bud
This guy is building a dystopian, inhuman society. We need at least to put him in jail without any access to technology.
Are you joking?
Bad troll
