The "Micro-Targeting" of ads has actually really helped me out. I youtubed and googled lasers so much, an ad for a laser college associates degree was advertised. I graduate in December. Because too often its not what you know, but who you know. and many just do not even know certain opportunities exist.

14:05 for Andy Serkis

Who's looking forward to the OASIS

The involvement of Andy Serkis and his company in this is a good sign, at least for the entertainment branch of this tech. they should be beating a path to Serkis's door to consult and work with him. If anyone can spark the public imagination on this, it's him. The man is a unique talent......BTW yes, this is the BBC we like.

21:30 Now here’s a man who’s name is perfect for his job. Astro Teller.

Nobody mows the cap like Andy Circus.

Thank you BBC

Even today we can choose to not share our data with companies, but it will then mean not being able to use their services.

Great video BBC, more of this please :)!

I really like the music of the video!! It sets awesome atmosphere and context for the futuristic tech stuff.

Wonderful!

BBC is what I wish PBS would be

Great show, i look forward to your uploads every week,, thumbs up to Spencer Kelly, Kate Russel and the rest of the team!

Yaay!! internet access for my remote Kenya,am grateful a project is underway there but not surprised either given we have two undersea fiber optics cables and the fastest internet speeds in all of Africa!!

Sir Tim Berners-Lee is an angel. He even has a halo in the video

That was great. Poignant and very interesting!

I love tech news from BBC click :D

Has anyone noticed the halo above Tim Berners-Lee’s head?

18:27 *"I don't feel so good mr.Stark"*

The biggest issue I think there is with VR is the isolation. There has to be away to share the experience and enjoy things in a group. Magic Leap AR gets much closer to achieving that except its world is translucent.

There should be a central European Data Hub Platform (maybe managed by a EU Digital Ministry) that would allow every EU citizen to have an "at a glimpse" list of services that have access to the citizen's data, and how it is allowed to be handled. And if they want to revoke the usage of their data, that should be made possible with just the click of a button. For example: "You data is accessed by: Facebook: private only [REVOKE ACCESS] Twitter: public [REVOKE ACCESS] Instagram: advertisers [REVOKE ACCESS] " Every service that wants to handle personal data, must register with this agency. Foundations for this are already laid in GDPR which gives the right for every EU citizen to view as well delete their data any company has on them. Furthermore, data could maybe even be just made available as encrypted keys to companies, with the original only lying on the EU's Ministry servers. For example, instead of giving a company your email address or phone number, they would receive just a key, which they could use to send you messages through EU servers. Once the user revokes access to his data, the key-company association is destroyed and the company won't be able to use the citizen's data in any way again as they never really possessed it. Still, this wouldn't hinder innovation, as data correlation operations can still be run on those keys, instead of the actual data. It just limits the scope and channels to official ones on which companies would be able to collect personal data (instead of shadow profiles, ad cookies and data brokers). Of course, to send out messages over official EU servers, a fee may apply (as with any other commercial mass messaging platform), which should be depended on the size of the company and the volume send, with possibly no fees at all for small startups to foster a good and healthy competition culture to counterbalance internet giants like Microsoft, Facebook, Google & etc.

Direction. They need it Great episode

This is how BBC is taking it to the internet age.

mark suckerbird

Like its opening music

good innovacting mr serk

Genius

Balloons carrying expensive tech above poor regions will be shot down and resold/stripped for components is my prediction.

Bringing internet to Kenya? Neat, now we can steal their data too!

So do these applications just automatically build themselves? We get free search engines, maps, AI, etc... Ppl build these apps and they should get paid and have the opportunity to make money for their work. Maybe they should have an option. You don't like these companies to have the data they collect from you using their apps, then pay for it...

16:59 he will get down in history as the only person who looks somewhat cool with the goggles

Funny that that X place's headquarters is in California. They say that they can know in advance if a project will fail or has a future, then why is your headquarters in a state that can disappear tomorrow, cant you see that one in advance ? lol Btw X, I want one of those replicators star trek has, even if it's only to receive instantly what I buy from amazon lol

remember pubs, forests and books?

Lol @ 11:00 Getting rid of the cables for VR gives you a bit more freedom, but it won't run Skyrim this way will it? I mean, have you seen the size of these video cards that generate those beautiful images? I can't imagine strapping those to my face any time soon. This can only mean that getting rid of cables and expensive pc's lead to very simplistic VR gaming. No thanks.

Kenya is leading Africa and other countries on internet consumption 🇰🇪🇰🇪

I don't do online shopping so it doesn't matter if they collect my data... Just keep it private privacy needs to respected by law

3 mins in and not one mention of blockchain. What else do you not know?

ooohhh! 10:15 "Oculus Quest" Has anyone tried this? Xmas list!!

Mariana Mazzucato's idea is about as terrible as Tim Berners-Lee's idea is great. Does she not see the inherent risks in creating a national personal information database under the purview of the government? A decentralized way to directly control our data is likely the best way to go.

Saint Tim 7:46

People will walk right into there death.

Using Blockchain Technology would reinvent the World Wide Web, which is tracked by distributed ledger, which can be public and decentralized.

Vr should be like reband

funny how all these commercial drone companies use hobby grade equipment yet want to ban the hobby.. where do they think all this innovation came from?

Graphics look like a playstation 1 game

“i am an expert in global innovation” topkek, the chutzpah of these womyn

VR without PC ! low poly content just sucks.

This title is misleading.

Pay your fellow Umans money, if your planet still uses a form of currency.

"New types of VR experiences" Pretty sure the idiot who, while where a VR head set, tripped and fell over his glass table and died in a pool of blood didn't think to himself "at least it was a new experience."

Knowledge is power. Really? Power is Power, just like Cersei said it.

take my data..who cares

God trying to pay for benefits by charging innovation no wonder you lack meaningful change

VR aint the future... AR is....

SAY NO TO SOCIALISM

BBC click bait

this is just dumb...if you dont want your data to be public just dont publicise it..that's it

the intro is a bit long and useless

clickbait. Dislike, report.
