[inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] everybody, welcome to this amazing talk. My im a ph. D student in the humanities group, doing research and a fellow of the center for ethics. So today we have kentaro, who is a professor at the university of Michigan School of information. He also founded Microsoft Research india, where he created a group that did technology for emerging markets. His talk today will be on the law of am mixification. A very amplification, a very interesting talk. And its kind of a heresy in some ways to have this talk, and the talk is aptly named geek heresy rescuing culture change from technology. It provokes important conversations because i think technology is important, but also important to think about what is the impact of the technology and how we design the technology in the best we way can. So without further adieu. Like to introduce kentaro here. [applause] thank you for that introduction, and id like to thank the center and m. I. T. For host
