How algorithms shape our world

Kevin Slavin argues that we’re living in a world designed for — and increasingly controlled by — algorithms. In this riveting talk from TEDGlobal, he shows how these complex computer programs determine: espionage tactics, stock prices, movie scripts, and architecture. And he warns that we are writing code we can’t understand, with implications we can’t control.

Fascinating and insightful.

Facebook in real life

May 3, 2008

Okay, before you start hitting URLs, I am NOT an active member on Facebook or Orkut for that matter. I have accounts on the respective sites, just for the sake of it.

I found this video in one of my RSS subscriptions. Take a looksie. This is how Facebook in real life would be.
