ABOUT FUTURE CITIES
Future Cities is part of a new flagship documentary strand from WIRED Video that explores the technologies, trends and ideas that are changing our world.
HOLY LAND: STARTUP NATIONS (SERIES 2)
Premiering in February, the second season of WIRED’s Future Cities series takes us inside one of the world’s biggest startup nations. With the most tech startups and venture capital per capita in the world, Israel has long been hailed as The Startup Nation. WIRED’s four-part series will look beyond Tel Aviv’s vibrant, liberal tech epicentre to the wider Holy Land region - the Palestinian territories, where a parallel Startup Nation story is emerging in East Jerusalem, Ramallah and the West Bank, as well as in the Israeli cybersecurity hub of Beersheba. And we will learn how the fertile innovation ecosystem of Silicon Wadi has evolved as a result of its unique political, geographical and cultural situation and explore the future challenges - and solutions - these nations are facing.

What a fantastic video, I still own a home in Futian and spent about ten years in Shenzhen, I'm now in Bali but miss the energy of China very much. Wish the best to the hardworking people there. Thanks Wired for the video.
Desmond Koval dodgy arak makes ya blind
You don’t own the Home, you just own the 70 years lease from CCP
Proud to be a Shenzhenese, witnessing the growth of this city in the first 17 years of my life.
This was fantastic and very informative. subscribed!
Finally some really good researched leading-edge content from Wired. And it's Wired UK. In Silicon Valley they're much too preoccupied with click counts, they'll do anything for a click. Usually not the interesting stuff
This is where all my drone parts and components come from.
yeah, designed and made.
You spelt "copied from the west" wrong.
+lokie Keep on telling yourself that buddy.
Absolutely not, western companies are copying from DJI, which located in Shenzhen
It was designed in China. West used and plagiarized the idea for profit. China is now the lead in technology.
Now everybody recognize Shenzhen as a hardware harbor, but the truth is, Shenzhen is home of some of the biggest banks, funds and insurance companies in China, and is home to one of the two biggest stock exchange markets in China, Shenzhen Stock exchange
The actual truth is the communist party of China got tired of starving its people (70 million) during its 'great leap forward'. They actually opened up a very Libertarian approach to economics, and let the public create what they wanted, and sell it. That is free market Capitalism... but you won't hear the communists say it. They still try to self identify as communists, lol
In China people are taxed far less than we are. It does not have the IRS to shake them down.
Shang Hai is the finance hub, Shenzen is the tech hub.
CRAZYc see, this is what real big Americans are missing out due to too prejudice against Asians, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, communist, immigrants, illegal n aliens n refugees n boat people etc. . to live, shop, invest, school, work, educated n play freely n fairly with equal numbers with whites too in west, America, iahiahiah, iahiahiah. Instead about collapsed.
Wow its great!!
Music is:

One of the best short pieces I've ever seen on current China. Nice work. Seen much of this from the inside and it succinctly sums up the strange place that Shenzhen is and the tech frontier China as a whole has become.
This is freaking well edited and/ or directed
abisz007007 bbc
Been there 10 years ago and brought home a few cool gadgets:)
Must go there again! I was there last year, what a city! Colorful nightlife, pretty girls, food and drinks etc....make europe looks so bore
+jlwc88 I am Chinese and I think Europe has a lot of great history and culture, those are what shenzhen doesn't have.
SB chun we live in today not in history! By the way China have more 5000 years history much longer then europe
他说的是深圳，中国当然有历史，就是深圳没有。他说的到底哪错了？
Been living there for years, I miss it T_T
What great timing. I just got 2 copies of Bunnies book the other day.
This is beatiful film making. Gives me goosebumps Everytime
Excited to be starting my career here soon!
TheMightyScientist if you dont mind me asking, what's it like living and working in the city as an expat?
Hey man -- it's been great so far. Cost of living is super low, and there's a small but growing expat scene. Downside is that there's not much history or culture, but Hong Kong is always across the border ;)
TheMightyScientist thanks man, I was just interested in potentially working there in the future and wanted to know what challenges ie language learning people might have. Looks like an awesome city really, cyberpunk punk vibes all over
What do you guys work as there?
I've finished my master in electronic engineering in Italy. Should i apply for a job in Shenzhen??
foreigners are not easy to live here, I donot mean living conditions it is culture clash or company culture. U can take a trip here at first then decide.
Yep, there are plenty great job opportunities with international environment. If you are looking for a job, pls send an email of CV to hr@codemao.cn
I'll do it in the following months, where can i have more info?
@REPLACE NEWS
most of Chinese can speak English ？ ……come on...............
Anyone know the name of the music they used for this?
This reminds me of my childhood back in the the 80's - 90's where I would get electronic parts to build my first computer back in New York, below chinatown. Where I could get used components cheap. It was heaven to me and other electronic hobbyists. I think I might visit there as there is no such place in US anymore.
we manufacture there and also do some development. The thing that surprised me was that wages for skilled Chinese engineers/developers have approached US / EU standards. Unfortunately, the quality of development still seems lacking significantly.
We are currently looking to move all design / engineering back to EU, just manufacture there. This trend doesnt seem to get pointed out here, but it is crucial to understand.
we are rookies in hardware development, so that may be understood by others. Anyone can share experiences?
If EU doesn't go back to economic freedom, in 10 years we will be physical workers for the chinese just like they used to be for us.
WTF u talking about
I agree : they are quick, not good.
I can feel it in software development, especially for audio products.
When you are a small structure and are dealing with CSR Bluetooth module, you can :
- spend years to build experience on CSR ADK, and lose sanity because it's an awful SDK for awful chips
- give specs to a module manufacturer that has the experience you miss, and pray, hope that he understood what you meant.
Best way to deal with this : sit on the shoulder of the coder who is making your Bluetooth firmware. What's obvious for you is not for them.
That must be true for most software dev, and probably for a lot of other domains.
Ah, be aware that a Chinese is not afraid of doing again, from scratch. He is paid to do what you ask for, not to be smart in your stead, and reuse last year code ...
lol maybe you just isn't competitive enough to compete with larger Chinese hardware companies
Can you elaborate on "quality of development"?
I have some theories
Wired, make more similar documentaries about Startups and technology.
Smart Shenzhen Channel make many documentaries about Startups and technology.:)
very informative video..thks
An ad I didn't skip, interesting.
8:21 guy flicks the middle finger :)
This was awesome!
As an asian I am more curious about China now.,
Good work done
Slick video production.
Nice drone footage !
اُطْلُبُوْا العِلْمَ وَلَوْ في الصِّينِ
“Tuntutlah ilmu walaupun sampai ke negeri China.”
The first time I came to this city, I didn't like it. And I like it now :)
I wish places like this existed in other parts of the world but sadly what they do is illegal.
Software is key. We need developers, A LOT of them.
just need a hint of aphex in that evolution from agrarian to electronic/information economy mix.
What is the woman's name who spoke in the footage?
these are the best of times, these are the worst of times
My Favourite documentary thankyou
excellent
2：32，i see my home
My hometown
excellent city!
什么时候的破视频
If Beijing represent the past of China, and Shanghai is the present of China (may not true, cos Shenzhen has the highest GDP/capital), then Shenzhen is definitely the future of China.
各位同胞們，記住，看到網絡上那些特別蠢的言論，就不用回復了........無聲就是最好的嘲諷。
Hope Zhu just 暗中观察
America could be like this, but they think they are worth $15/HR, LOL
They think they know better than the founders of their country. Just morons trying to create utopia at the end of a gun, just like Mao/Stalin/Hitler/etc.
Americans think their jobs have been sold out to foreigners, the reality is what they are asking for is to live a 21st century western lifestyle with a 20th century job and education. They stopped learning because they are all educated by the Federal government.
"The Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) was passed as a part of United States President Lyndon B. Johnson's "War on Poverty" and has been the most far-reaching federal legislation affecting education ever passed by the United States Congress. The act is an extensive statute that funds primary and secondary education.[1] It also emphasizes equal access to education and establishes high standards and accountability.[2] In addition, the bill aims to shorten the achievement gaps between students by providing each child with fair and equal opportunities to achieve an exceptional education."
Only way to eliminate "achievement gaps" is to make sure everyone is a low achiever.
"The reauthorization of ESEA by President George W. Bush was known as the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. ESEA was reauthorized on December 10, 2015 as the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) by President Barack Obama.[3] The ESEA also allows military recruiters access to 11th and 12th grade students' names, addresses, and telephone listings when requested."
Fucking idiots.
They need Hayek Economics and smaller government.
America and Europe has been crippled by the GW ideology. It is trying to downsize, reduce, take the foot off the gas paddle and on the bicycle paddle, and the dwindling ride goes down from there.
Let the people be free, it costs the taxpayer nothing. Lessen up the rules on business that discourage and drive up the cost of being a job provider.
and your example of freedom is china...what a fucking joke you are.
Very good documentary. Shenzhen is still a pretty boring place to live, but I am sure the future is at its side.
If you reduce the font size to 50% of the original, you shall get 4 times of the original count of letters in the same paper. Learn math then post video about numbers.
anyone knows if you go there for a few months can work on english language? #wired
I believe the HAX accelerator (featured here) does most if not all of its business in English.
Thanks a lot. Have a nice day.
I think this video shows only the great aspects of ShenZhen.
SZ has not the same activity everywhere. I know of a factory were working with that's only at 20% of its maximum. Used to be close to 100% 2 years ago.
About the language ... You'd better learn some Mandarin, or, better in this province, Cantonese. In fact, both can be useful. Showing that you speak a little will make them twice when speaking those languages in your back.
Be aware that most Chinese speak Chinglish, not English ... It may be difficult to be understood 100%.
By the way, food is wonderful !
Learning Mandarin will help you a lot.
+Jimmy Yu I have no doubt about that! My wife is still trying! Yes, she is Chinese... The problem is that I'm about 30 years late to learn : my ears can't catch tones. And without this skill, I could say anything and everything...
i saw my home...
I click on your video and you start me off with a loud fucking car horn. I guess I regret clicking.
let's protect america and make it great again, so that our Chinese allies can continue to thrive and prosper pushing humanity foward.

Hi
For those of you that still advocate for Socialism, Replay 11:30 onward. China's city became very Libertarian. Just like Chile is right now. Notice the opportunity change?
Lower taxes, lessen regulations, get rid of a bunch of bylaws, and you'll see jobs come back because hard working smart people will be empowered to create them.
Right, then go ahead and move to Shenzehn tomorrow. Good luck with finding food, shelter, healthcare, and continuing to lead a fulfilling life. In a year from now I will personally pay for your flight back home (as you will be penniless) and you can regail the comment section about the time you spent living in squalor in a run down apartment skyscraper sleeping 10 to a room on the tile floor in your sleeping bag so that you can rest up enough for another 8 hour shift at the Foxconn plant mindlessly inserting screws into the inside of someone's iPad one after the other after the other. Just so you could get a meal that night. I'm sure it's a real worker's paradise over there!
warc8us You didn't watch the documentary. Its non partisan, its actually focused around the 'maker faire' 3d printing and DIY electronics world. Instead of kicking out people that disagree with you, perhaps you should know what you are disagreeing with first? Just a thought. But please listen to the Chinese people there, they probably had ancestors that starved to death under the 'great leap forward'.
And I have considered moving there. I don't need your money, I have about a half million dollars.
Update: I've been to Seoul Korea (also North Korea, but that's a different story). I find it hilarious how things are cheaper in these 'economic free zones' than anywhere in the western world. Take your $15/hr union gig elsewhere, the world is busy making the future.
欢迎一切友好人士，
They should make a gadget which measures the pollution/CO2/Monoxide output of vehicles and planes... That'll show all the climate change skeptics out there...
don't they already? i mean, how else do you think they measure tailpipe emissions to check if a vehicle is in compliance? would probably be a case of shrinking it down to allow for a dash mounted display, then just like with my mom in her car with her MPG meter, they'd be trying to keep it in the green

Monstrous Moonshine my bad i meant liu shaoqi
the final message was great, but the route to that was ridiculously inaccurate.... stupid!!

The second part talking ideology is some cliche and sheer lies...sidetracked as well..

China, give back US' sea drone.
nope
China !
When you see Indians, you know technology is real.
The entire Google, Apple, and Microsoft building have the highest concentration of Indians I've ever seen in my life.
Yet here is the problem. Both Indians and Chinese lack original ideas. Both race are trained from an early age to absorb information and not applying it and innovate.
