I wish she had at least acknowledged, if not addressed (because time constraints don't allow for it at TED), the incredibly complicated dialogue about privacy that relates to quantified self and lifelogging. And anybody who cites that idiotic "we use 10% of our brain" bunk makes me cry.
Who says she doesn't acknowledge it? The issue regarding privacy and survelliance is a huge subject, although related to every future step that technology takes from now on, it is too great to be included in such a short TEDtalk as this one.
Great overview with wearable technology the interesting thing is more and more companies are making them. I will say this what if there is a wearable device that can do EKGs, Blood Pressure,Breath rate, Fatigue and Moods, would knowing all this give you a peace of mind? only thing is not available in any store.
It is like someone who travels, yet does not know where they have been because they were following GPS and not looking, then get lost and die when they need to get home..... better to learn to be aware of our own bodies and what is going on.
I feel like we are trying to watch something true a bunch of mirrors but it's actually right in front of us. Is beeing human about to mean "undertanding yourself thanks to your cellphone? I don't think it is a good direction to take. Any man and woman on this earth has lived all his life beeing himself and building himself reacting to external and internal circumstances so knowing when you are tired, when you sleep good, when you are stressed or finding your soul mate, come on, these are thing you have within you! You know it all! are we going to let ourself ruled by technology rather than by our own nature?

+Nox Dineen "we use10% of our brain" is not the same claim as "10% of our capability. "
Excellent talk. And perfectly timed.
Nice speech and YES... technology can do a lot especially if we start to know how to use it perfectly...

Informative ,apt good
I got rid of my smart phone. Feels good to not be a drone. I got a wearable sensor in my brain. They call it a brain.
I think you're just overreacting
ok grandpa
