Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.53,0:00:47.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And in fact, a few years later in 2000,

Dialogue: 0,0:01:17.96,0:01:20.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Okay, obviously to anybody here at TED,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.18,0:01:22.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the first question you ask is, what can we do
Dialogue: 0,0:01:22.28,0:01:25.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to get the other 60 percent on board

Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.85,0:01:30.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But also, I want you to think about the 40 percent,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:30.83,0:01:32.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because if you're sitting there yourself

Dialogue: 0,0:01:38.54,0:01:42.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then you may feel that it's been a success
Dialogue: 0,0:01:42.26,0:01:44.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we can all sit back.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:44.24,0:01:47.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But in fact, yeah, it's been a success,

Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.75,0:02:15.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but very affected, and on a good day,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.29,0:02:18.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,lots of open data, lots of egovernment,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.33,0:02:20.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so lots of things which are visible
Dialogue: 0,0:02:20.78,0:02:22.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,happening on the Web.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:22.57,0:02:24.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Also, lots of things which are less visible.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.66,0:02:47.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in fact they've acquired\Na certain amount of privacy.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.72,0:02:50.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we cannot assume that part of the Web,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:09.24,0:03:10.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So in fact, something we realized,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:10.92,0:03:12.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we can't just use the Web,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:12.54,0:03:14.30,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we have to worry about

Dialogue: 0,0:03:32.23,0:03:35.66,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,except when actually Twitter\Nis blocked from their country,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.66,0:03:39.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or in some way the way we try to express ourselves
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.11,0:03:41.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,has put some information\Nabout the state of ourselves,

Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.70,0:03:48.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we must protest and make sure
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.68,0:03:50.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that censorship is cut down,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.88,0:03:52.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that the Web is opened up
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.80,0:03:55.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where there is censorship.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:55.12,0:03:57.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We love the fact that the Web is open.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.55,0:03:59.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It allows us to talk. Anybody can talk to anybody.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:59.75,0:04:01.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It doesn't matter who we are.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.81,0:04:03.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then we join these big
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.40,0:04:05.95,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,social networking companies
Dialogue: 0,0:04:05.95,0:04:08.94,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which are in fact effectively built as silos,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.94,0:04:10.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so that it's much easier to talk to somebody
Dialogue: 0,0:04:10.73,0:04:12.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the same social network
Dialogue: 0,0:04:12.57,0:04:15.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,than it is to talk to somebody in a different one,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.09,0:04:19.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so in fact we're sometimes limiting ourselves.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.26,0:04:22.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we also have, if you've read\Nthe book about the filter bubble,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.38,0:04:26.13,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we love to use machines
Dialogue: 0,0:04:26.13,0:04:28.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which help us find stuff we like.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.34,0:04:30.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we love it when we're baited

Dialogue: 0,0:04:32.17,0:04:34.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and so the machine automatically feeds us
Dialogue: 0,0:04:34.33,0:04:36.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the stuff that we like and we end up
Dialogue: 0,0:04:36.04,0:04:40.40,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with this rose-colored, spectacled view of the world
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.40,0:04:42.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,called a filter bubble.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:42.04,0:04:44.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So here are some of the things which maybe

Dialogue: 0,0:04:47.56,0:04:49.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What sort of Web do you want?
