and reactor williams and george also discovered how open space is transforming and another different way this would be a public street by the public ways and it's now being sold to a developer and is the comfort of a toy space so the actual landscape begins to completely change and what you have in these spaces is they're put piece by private security guards and although you have the right to walk down it they can actually choose to exclude you so you have these like strange places that begin to to the compost of the city that all it's. welcoming to most people no spaces to linger and the whole idea here is just for you know people to walk through to get somewhere and it becomes about being a consumer or anyone that's outside it gets kind of hours you know present a walk and you're presented with sort of charming flowers which i change every few weeks on the big sign saying all the things that you must on the no circumstances do. i think so i think what's really interesting about it is that visually looking

like an architectural it's not real life it's not the kind of the city of the melting pot it's like a very sanitized fashion it becomes a sort of known place. rather than public. is civil rights apply only until the private investor chooses to deny access. how many of these known spaces can a city and. and where can one lead to free urban life in such a controlled space. to create so which the politics and geographies of some cities and perhaps many cities are starting to really. move the sort of medieval structures of unclose of power with. access controls and of course. study of the big massive

stone structures of the medieval military architect show we now have systems by some outrunning passage control tronic access biometric scanning some people are suggesting that perhaps the app pulled is the paradigm space of the future city maybe cities in the future might have apple style restrictions generalized across the whole landscape. london's canary wharf. when the financial markets were deregulated banks expanded. in the form of don't live in the they could implement a remarkably elaborate security concept. today more than seventy thousand people work in canary wharf there are hotels and apartments and a popular shopping mall. it's

a new scale of privatized space is a very tightly defended and highly privatized idea of the city which has come under a lot of criticism as being a sort of and clave of powerful and wealthy groups literally separated off from the rest of the city almost by mediæval motes using the wall to systems of the dock clients. the access roads to the city within a city secured by checkpoints. a private security service can deny access without reason that any time. is this the city of the future accessible only to the wealthy and powerful to fit into this brave new world. so the legal aspects of this are really important that means that the owners of this space define what is. legally allowed in what is prohibited for their own by law so there
7:34 am
are legal sanctions which means that political activity is actually illegal in this space it's illegal to have a political demonstration it's illegal to have a political mobilization it's illegal to bag it's illegal to. do all of that the full range of activities that you would expect to be. allowed in a democratic society. three d. model of the city designed by the german aerospace institute in berlin to simulate been development. from a simulation of the real city to the creation of

a virtual parallel urban environment a future in which computers communicate with other computers without people. where an internet of things develops. florin make a helis from the swiss federal institute of technology in zurich is working on the realisation of the ubiquity of computers a combination of physical objects in virtual space the internet of things. versus vs under fifteen is what we mean is really the spreading of the internet from computers into the real world to include real objects products and things like this could begin with products that simply have a number on them to find out where something is this could be products with sensors on them it could also apply to automobiles in order to register location data and
7:36 am
gather information from it actually the integration of various properties objects even humans and in order to be able to offer more services and new applications to them based on the information gathered on me at the instant when noise unbeknown pizza can. implement here we've implemented an application which enables me to see which apps are being used here in the city. and over this way as i can see for example that two point two kilometers from here the swiss federal railway's out was downloaded two hours ago. i can now download this app and install it on my phone man teflon stallion and the idea is to be able to find useful apps in the parallel world that are related to the city here but sold it sinful as i and . already we are surrounded by digital services

small bundles of energy that can be made visible. and with each application we leave behind footprints which can be collected and used. an electronic book. practical quick and easy. the book is equipped with a chip the rental fee and alone in a registered with the push of a button each book's readers can be seen. so what if someone is interested in books about terrorism or chemistry. who else knows this and might consider it suspicious.

cities are basically by computer systems that are in the west especially everything that people do in a city generates they even driving around the city is increasingly monitored by computer systems moving around even walking if you have a small generates a truck through g.p.s. systems and j a graphical mapping systems whether we can also add credit card transactions we can at the c.c.t.v. systems on the street except for etc etc so it's being called a day to tsunami if you like the idea of my ass if waves of data being collected not by humans really but by computers. normally we associate surveillance with the police and security services we forget that the major internet platforms and provide is are also trying to follow our every step.

the magic word is data mining. sophisticated programs combed through the streams of data worldwide in search of specific criteria which can then be used to create a market based records. u.s. military was built to square off against the soviet union over western europe but when you take that conventional military and now try to read task it as a counterinsurgency force it creates a lot of gaps and that's the kind of private sector stuff. the playing. field in big spirit travels with the flame from its birthplace in greece. showing james

7:42 am
reassembled as analyzed on the basis of corresponds with different kinds of abstract patterns and that's kind of what we found is an example of this kind of reconstitution of the person in the digital here. in the words how google decides what we see the research is demonstrate how google evaluates search queries in very specific ways. if you look at the search interface there is actually you know in the case in that this is happening so usually people don't know this this is going on that their search results are being filtered and now. it's the first to discover that google analyzes and personalize its users data changing it and will. be processed as search query for one of these philosophers the symbol tameness

locative services or. but of an urban based computing or you because it's competing all of these need to be. rethought in terms of how they they're understood as part of the public space and citizens are able to take part in the design of reflection on these on these systems. how can citizens participate in the design of these systems when developments in the digital parallel world taking place at breakneck speed citizens of both uses and products alike the more specific the information gained about an individual the more valuable the data becomes how can we grasp the full extent of the digital penetration into our lives. in berlin sandro going to list conducting research into the freedom of information technology and war especially sign but will he advises government institutions and berlin and brussels

. that know a lot of the tsunami where was another revolution and microelectronics which went almost completely unnoticed the whole area of sensors we've made incredible massive developments in sensor technology just some together with the information revolution this sense of revolution has produced a general cognitive sphere in our technical environment and these technical environments are. now able to monitor record and process the information they gather that simple. and us also follow. drones as helpers in extreme situations. the combination of optical chemical and infrared senses enables not only the visualization of situations in real time and three day but also the analysis of hazardous substances ideal for firefighters rescue services disaster relief forces and the military. senses also facilitate

virtual tracking through face recognition. this can already be observed in the internet. visitors at the glastonbury festival were captured in a large group which remained online long after the festival was over. through the use of tags individuals could be identified and approached via facebook. the page was one of the most popular on the internet for quite some time but what does this have to say about the experience does the festival continue only in the parallel universe of the internet. to live in multiple realities simul tiniest. face recognition it can also be used in an entirely different dimension cameras incenses i capturing people and scanning them for suspicious physiological signs.

the aim to detect hostile intentions before the suspect can cause harm. but if you don't vilify this is really important because i can put it to extensive use for security measures and behave a sickly i can attach a policeman in other words a camera to any technical device which can process i-t. ninety. com i can put chips into all kinds of equipment in a specific environment and increase security enormously gunsmiths but this is of course also a threat to personal liberty only if it is high. security or freedom the e.u. is funding a program to develop an intelligence information system to support surveillance and capture for the safety of citizens in an urban environment increasingly now there

are efforts to use computers to bring together all sorts of items of data every time an airline ticket is booked but i think in the u.k. now by law you have to have to collect fifty three separate pieces of information from also different sources. to to to profile out information and to assess the degree of risk so this is very much again a question of building data from the past to make judgments in the present about the potential future risk straight out of minority report if you like. if different recordings systems are interconnected to form a comprehensive monitoring operators for preventive police work who controls the search criteria all the computers and senses.

until we make a judgment about what might be considered normal in somewhere like london which is a big question everything is normal in london. but what happens is they use the data mining systems to try and build a sense of the normality of the city which is then used to try and assess things that are unusual. and i think that's where the politics of the city increasingly lie beisel who judges what is normal in a city and who judges what is abnormal in the city so if i pull it. today security means the security of cities in new york the attack came from the head in london from underground on the street. while these is still possible it's more likely the city will be attacked by confuses disrupting the supply of electricity water and food. messias any other movie theoretically if the
7:50 am
eyeteeth fail us if someone attacks the i.t. centers and some areas that would have catastrophic consequences especially in cities the food supply would instantaneously collapse everything is time to market on that no one has a larger anymore and if no one would know where to find food but the. communication systems would break and there would be no water because the pumps couldn't operate without electricity this within a few days the city would degenerate into a primitive state because no one would have the resources to feed themselves to communicate or anything else this is an enormous risk get.
7:51 am
silence attack on a city without leaving a trace. this may sound like science fiction but it's already on the minds of hacking is criminals and terrorist groups. are also gearing up for cyber war. times of peace these cyber war units ponder what to do if there's no war going on and i've got forces that can go anywhere and do anything then naturally i'll use them to attack other economies i can pursue economic political objectives i can conduct massive industrial espionage at such a high level that it can't even be detected and i can engage in sabotage and these units can sabotage an entire production and cause stock prices to plummet i can then buy up stocks cheaply or i can attack the stock exchanges directly with the price since the perspectives of the stock markets are gigantic incredibly complex
7:52 am
monsters they've never notice a skilled attacker in their midst and the attackers know this that's what makes the whole situation really attractive to them what could happen is that these cyber war components which are simply there will start a secret economic war i consider this quite plausible because there are no means for identifying the attackers there's no need to fear diplomatic repercussions or missiles from the united states no one can protect themselves against these skilled attackers and everything is being offered to them on a silver platter i'm sure there will be more developments in this direction. because. images of a world fading away the boisterous stock market was yesterday today more than fifty percent of the u.s. stock trade is handled electronically from computer to computer algorithm to
7:53 am
algorithm humans are much too slow for such transactions. perspective these i.t. security issues could be a reason to stock exchanges altogether because i can't guarantee. but let's show mayor represents the real value of companies a lot of it is. in the next attack on the financial world no towers will fall yet the entire city will collapse and degenerate into chaos the attacker will come silently through the financial industries oh not sure is it's hyper fos networks we won't notice until after the fact if we notice at all it will be too late. what good is all the security if the fear of terrorism transforms our cities and

in two thousand and chime one of the first things released by wiki leaks was a secret video recording that actually looked like a video showing two american action political actors opening fire on a dozen people in iraq this is going to commence to live in a society of images of violence become normal this is what the sense of isolation and lack of empathy look like. when we try an experienced into a spectacle only disassociate. and by action. table we also have a sense from certain kinds of moral and i absolutely am frightened of the potential of games desensitize people we know they can because the military uses games places . old media war it is not simply put it is chilling and chilling exacts a penalty a killer. people for whom it is defined by the popular media.
7:56 am
is obviously more for the latest because it's pink. women wanted to avoid rape they really needed to buy guns in america had against them. this is the one that i want to go with but once again it's the fear of. women definitely the tarzan of the gun loving you don't kill them when you're killing me but if somebody would he would piss with her. i notice it more and more and that's really scary marketing tactics which implies that women have some sort of moral obligation to protect their family and young girls shoot out here too so we do have a pink or. more kids young kids choke on food than are killed by firearms if

question of what effect legal marijuana will have on the american public can be answered with real world experience you know there are a lot of people out there with strong arguments as to why we should legalize this controversial play it firstly there are plenty of things just as bad for us as marijuana or worse like beer cigarettes anti-depressants and mystery fast food meats which are totally legal secondly young men are often thrown in jail for the absolutely victimless crime of smoking marijuana i could see punishing someone for drugs like crystal meth which can and do turn people. the maniacs but have any of you out there ever heard of someone breaking into people's houses on a weed rampage no no you haven't the downside to all this is that across america it won't the world people are looking for change and they want the message store rise but when the masses are stoned out of their minds it makes things in life that we shouldn't tolerate become very tolerable we now call allow us to make it through another day of our miserable lives so that we can live without going through all that effort of trying to make things better or challenge the system legalizing weed will just pacify the masses even more but that's just my opinion.
