Of what we call Washington Post live. The new initiative that extends the reach of our journalism through live events, streaming, and pairs or journalist with leaders and decisionmakers to dissect and explore the most important and compelling issues off our time. The idea of todays conference on transformers actually began with a conversation we had here about the transformation underway at the Washington Post. We have gone from what was once a locally focused newspaper, to a multiplatform Digital First News Organization serving a Broad National and global audience. And although we have made amazing progress and are leading the industry in many ways, well always view ourselves as being in the process of transforming and never fully transformed, because like so Many Industries the media space is changing to rapidly the process of transforming can never really be complete. With advance in technology, the speed and scope of change is only increasing only accelerating. Achieving or maintai
Very similar to the movie minority report and have 3d images from cad and manipulate it. Here is an architect working on a 3d building and pulling out pieces and you could have somebody else collaborate with it and have remote assistance if you need to fix your washing machine or a jet engine or do surgery, you could have someone looking at what you are doing and help you walk you through that. It is hands free. When i think of the typewriter pd and the keys that the Washington Post folks use a lot and it is based on movable type and the mechanical typewriters didnt get stuck it is like punch cards connecting with technology. I think the future of using eye sight and using gestures is a big leap forward. There is some reports that say there is 120 billion Market Opportunity to change the way we interface with computers. So we created a headset where you could look at the world and interact with it and youve seen it rendered in movies like iron man and minority report and mission imposs
Up next were going to go from space to dna. And we have eric schulte coming. Hes up next. Thanks very much. Really appreciate it. So a beloved astronomer was faced with a task that would seem daunting to just about anyone. Okay . If we humans were to announce our existence in this universe, how would you do it . And more importantly, what would you say . Now, i say say very lightly here because language is a very human construct. A concept weve applied to many living and nonliving things to help us understand communication. But if were being frank, what is communication . Is it the words . The syntax . The grammar . In the narrowest sense, maybe. To understand what communication is, lets just imagine its 100 years hence and weve all uploaded our consciousnesses into some reddit hive mind Cloud Computer managed by watson and our minds have been reconstructed with complete fidelity 100 identical to the moments of your biological life. And lets say that my mind wants to learn something. I
Thomas edison. S, we are on a restored train car that represents the train car Thomas Edison road daily has a 12yearold way to detroit. A was a news butcher, meeting adler. He would have a basket with a big leather strap and walk up and down the aisles of the train car selling fruit, candy, probably cigars. We have a recreation of his local laboratory where he was the first person we know of to print the newspaper on a moving train. Life was here what like on the u. S. Coast guard cutter, the bramble, which traveled u. S. Waterways for nearly 70 years. Was Commanding Officer from 1978 to 1980. We were responsible for safe operation and navigation and we worked all of the buoys and i worked on some lighthouses from almost all the way down to toledo, ohio.

What will our leaders do about this . Already the lines are being drawn. The president , president obama, Hillary Clinton and bernie sanders, to them it is a Law Enforcement issue. Within hours they were calling for gun control. Much was made of the type of weapon the terrorist used and the fact that he had bought it legally days before the attack. Gun violence, they said, and hate. Donald trump had a very different response. He had already called for a temporary ban on foreign muslims coming to america and quickly linked the outrage to islamic terror.
