Urban Exchange - TED and Her

In this week's episode, Vinny, Leloy and Fabian jump into the debate about TED Talks and review Spike Jonze's new movie, Her. Are the highly viral TED talks, as Benjamin Bratton argues, a "recipe for civilizational disaster"? Or do they really help promoted ideas worth spreading? In the second half, we then swoon over the movie Her and examine the role that technology plays in the future that Jonze envisions.
