Does being connected cost us our humanity? | Chris Dancy | TEDxVienna

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. With our lives digitized, connected and stored, are we losing personal growth and perspective? Everything is connected via time, identity and ownership forcing people into the cult of the busy and the soul sucking void of the relentless now. What humanity enhancing lessons could be learned from the hyper personalized world?

Chris Dancy, Data Exhaust Cartographer, utilizes up to 700 sensors, devices, applications, and services to track, analyze, and optimize as many areas of his existence.

This quantification enables him to see the connections of otherwise invisible data, resulting in dramatic upgrades to his health, productivity, and quality of life.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
