TEDx Talks
A Skinner box that trains you to under-value your privacy: how do we make kids care about online privacy?
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxObserver, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxObserver event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized. http://www.ted.com/tedx

fix the audio….i had to watch this on my iphone because i can barely hear him on my computer.
I think a big first step for schools to stop normalizing surveillance would be to abandon all proprietary software, especially Microsoft products. Schools making kids learn only Microsoft operating systems and Microsoft office suits makes them familiar with proprietary data stealing products, and kids are likely to use what they are familiar with later in life. If kids learned how to use FOSS alternatives then they would be familiar with FOSS software and likely to use it for the rest of their lives.
thank you !
Why is this no longer accessible on ted.com?
Its amazing/scary how little we consider the value of privacy. Thank you!

"nothing to do with"
Education has a lot to do with speech patterns. You do learn to speak after all.
Bullshit. I'm French, living in New Zealand, have never set foot in either America nor Britannica, and regularly use various Britishisms, Aussiesms, Kiwisms, Americanisms, Indianisms, Geekisms, Frenchisms, Klingonisms, and Tolkienisms in my sentences. Phrases one uses has to do with society only up until the point when education overtakes it in terms of influence. I pick language particulars from wherever, if I find them relevant, interesting, or useful to convey my meaning, society be damned.
Ha! Facebook user's as labrats, nice.
That plus he's British-Canadian
He's also british
also… he lives in london
It's quite a hit.
actually, he's canadian, but he lives in the UK right now
Why wouldn't he use the words if he knows them? Why box yourself into your nationality when you can take wisdom from all around the world?
he lives in london
Well, he lives in London. He may even have British citizenship by now. Don't hate on him for adapting to the city he lives in.
He was born in Canada but currently lives in the UK.
A type of tech ed. that he's talking about here would actually be extremely useful. I don't know how successful sex ed was in preventing STDs but every teacher i've ever had have led to believe it worked pretty well
I just realized that my YouTube behavior is very similar to a Skinner box
@wilde1 Because he lives in London and has for years, and when you hear it every day it becomes habit. He actually uses Britishisms and Americanisms both pretty freely. And why is it obvious he's not British? He's Canadian, BTW.
@nostalgiamonger I dont know… I was kind of expecting goggles and a red cape…
@caffeinatedrose I think it was "Scunthorpe"
That is a bad ass Blazer. I would expect no less from Mr.Doctorow
As of this morning apparently only 23,011 people seem to want to wake up and smell the coffee. Well done Cory!
@wilde1
Probably because he is well educated.
wait. so what's the least googleable word? i want to google it…
Cory sez: "The worst of all […] is that it trains kids to believe that surveillance of every move on the Internet is a legitimate and proportionate thing for authority figures to do."
You remember that part of Blister In The Sun that goes, "This will go down on your permanent record…"?
That song came out when I was a kid. The joke of it, back then, there was no such thing as a "permanent record". Ever since the 90's/Gen X, there has been. And that sucks.
My ears! What the fuck is going on!?
but Big Brother wants the future generations to be used to a lifestyle that is like 1984. it's what the New World Order is all about. now be quiet sheep and enjoy your big macs and pop music.
@sivav I would have doubted that statement a few years ago, but I've noticed some retirees are pretty computer savvy these days. They get into something like Photoshop or video editing, and from there the interests fan into other computer-related ventures.
Cory, Great talk. Skinner box analogy really made me think about reinforcement online as a grand casino and how the brain is trained for those chances at getting rewarded.
One channel is phase inverted so the sound is cancelled out.
Please fix the audio, it's terrible
please fix volume
