Best phrases from TED today

Two mind-blowing phrases heard at the TED conference in Monterey this week.

"The active ingredient of the game" That was Hopelab President Pat Christen, telling me about the clinical trial that showed that Re-Mission, a videogame intented to help cancer patients visualize their body fighting the disease and encourage them to take their meds, really works. Next step is figuring out what components of the game--the gameplay, the characters, the settings, etc--are most effective. Hence the quote.

"Communist pixels". Venture capitalist Paul Koontz gave a quick slide show of his family's visit to North Korea. They went to a stadium where a 70x400 array of well-trained North Koreans carrying cards formed a massive display screen in the stands. The video showed these "communist pixels" seamlessly changing with rapid-fire transitions and no visible gaps (here's another video that shows the same thing, midway in). It really looked like a human jumbotron. We finally figured out what Marxism is good for.

I'm Korean-American, and my dad once said something related to Koontz' observation. We were watching a parade go by, and I made some remark about how the JROTC kids weren't marching very precisely, and he said "The American military has never been good at marching in parades. It's usually only the really authoritarian countries that are good at it."

The communist pixels videos are clipped from a fantastic true film called State of Mind - available on Netflix, and well worth watching. (My review is: here ) You have to remember that in order to have not a single pixel missing, none of 30,000 pixels students can be sick, or missing that day. That is an achievement almost as great as their coordination.

While user-generated content is not new, what is new is how easy it is to publish and manage. In 2005 Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz wrote in his blog: “Simplicity changes the world. Convenience is a force multiplier.
