How to design a school for the future | Punya Mishra
In all the conversations about improving education for children, the voices of students, teachers and community members are often left out. Educational designer Punya Mishra offers a method to shift that paradigm, taking us through new thinking on the root of success (and failure) at school -- and how a totally new, different kind of educational system could better meet students' needs.

Your right to mental privacy in the age of brain-sensing tech | Nita Farahany
Neurotechnology, or devices that let you track your own brain activity, could help you deeply understand your health. But without privacy protections, your innermost thoughts, emotions and desires could be at risk of exploitation, says neurotech and AI ethicist Nita Farahany. She details some of the field's promising potential uses -- like tracking and treating diseases from depression to epilepsy -- and shares concerns about who collects our brain data and how they plan to use it, ultimately calling for the legal recognition of "cognitive liberty" as we connect our brains and minds to technology.

Attention
Excellent description of my sister
She developed her on following on the Internet
I am not sure of all the different terms used for the various platforms used
But it about killed her to get put into face book jail for spewing hate messages
This Ted Talk definitely afforded me an understanding of social media
But not range on all those find a friend. Make a friend. Fake a friend sites
Elon Musk was the final straw
There have been some really interesting people that TED has given voice to over the years. But, giving Musk over an hour was too much for me. Perhaps in the early days before it was clear how deeply problematic he was, but to give him such an extended platform in 2022? Hardly the first time TED has elevated rich, white, middle-aged-but-oh-so-adolescent tech bros. I’m done with TED.
