  • Why can't two slices of pizza be used as a slide clicker? Why shouldn't you make music with ketchup? In this charming talk, inventor Jay Silver talks about the urge to play with the world around you. He shares some of his messiest inventions, and demos MaKey MaKey, a kit for hacking everyday objects.

    He discovered how inventors, experimenting scientists, and creative types do...what they do. It's great he sees how special it is.

    When they show stuff like this, I wish they would tell us where we can buy it!

    So much passion. The world needs more projects like this.

    The world needs more collaboration -- that's the only tool I believe, can make our world more connected, progressive, transparent and worthy to live.

    I got the makey makey a year ago, I haven't used it in a long time, but this inspired me to take it out and just do whatever comes to my mind and see what happens

    I can't stop watching this video! I really love seeing how he created this and just the creativity of Jay blows my mind. I think the world would be better if there was more people that could grasp, the idea that people can do things even if they can't explain and can only show you. I watch this video and I don't try to find what is wrong with it (probably because there isn't) I just watch. Fascinated, the technology and creativity of this video is a perfect marriage.

    It's not promoting a product. It's promoting an ideology and exposing the world to Silver's revolutionary thinking.

    This is what I got, real quick…
    - What we know often gets in the way of possibility;
    - What could be more useful than feeling alive and having fun; and
    - As Jay says, the world is our construction kit.
    If you could roll Jay in with Seth Godin, we’d all be inspired, indeed, compelled to ‘make something' ... thanks Jay

    @senica100 11 лет назад +1

    its not really about the entertainment objects themselves, it's more to broaden people's minds, and also good things can come out of it like when he mentioned that kid with the cerebral palsy who cannot really use a real computer keyboard.

    That is the verry definition of modern art. Re-using objects that were designed for a sertain purpose in an other and interesting way.

  • @thejerrymobile
    @thejerrymobile 11 лет назад

    These are important developments in DIY and DIWO cultures, and the world-changing sentiment is great...
    But it kind of leaves the question of who will be there to keep the grounds of society on which we rely functioning, while we're all off self-actualizing, unanswered.

    @justgivemethetruth 11 лет назад

    There's probably a good point here somewhere. This maker/individual empowerment stuff is fine and good ... hell, it's great, but the over-riding meme since the 20th century ... and into this one is that when people get together they create enormous power and that power's destructiveness when driven by just a few people who take the power from other people is affecting increasingly more people and more environment in a destructive way every moment without any thought, discussion or moderation.
