Evolution of The Cloud | Dr Matt Ridley | TEDxNewcastle

Science writer and ideas sexologist considers the
evolution of The Cloud.

Matt Ridley is the author of The Rational Optimist. He writes books about genes, evolution, economics, environment and human society; writes a weekly column in the Times; and sits in the House of Lords.

Matt's 'Idea Worth Sharing' is that the explosion of human achievement after 150,000 years, was not caused by something that happened inside our heads, but by what happened between our brains -- in the cloud.

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)
