a drive to really bridge what i would refer to as the digital camera the difference between technology access. by those living in developing countries versus those living in developed countries you know in the early two thousand the gap was there was evidence and the lack of access to technology of course. really meant that these young people living in developing world economies will not have access to information which without access to information really lessens the ability to further their education less of their ability to secure well paying jobs etc and so that is really how youth for technology foundation was born in an effort really to bridge this gap when we think about you know the digital care knew that you're you mention are we talking about hard tools or computers that i paired we talking about connection to the internet give us a little bit more yes so that's a great question when we started this work it was about you know a p.c. on every desk in every office was basic you know hardware and access but with the evolving we technology has gone over the last years last couple

the next difficult part was finding a way of digitally flattening out this warped object and digitallydividual film warped object and digitally prising apart or the individualfilm layers within. we initially had some manual softwa re within. we initially had some manual software where i would physically go through each individual block and spend five or ten minutes flattening out one layer after the other but that was over several thousand frames, quite labour—intensive. that was over several thousand frames, quite labour-intensive. at this point, charles took the problem toa this point, charles took the problem to a outer scientist. what a human would do is, we would try to see where the image was within a cross—section. the problem here is a computer algorithm cannot quite do that. what the algorithm does is it follows, predominantly, the layers of plastic were not the images, but the plastic. and then once we have the plastic. and then once we have the layer of plastic, we can move to the layer of plastic, we can move to the edge of that layer and read off the edge of that layer and

the digital space should be developed and i think he. likened it to how the internet was developed so i mean much more i think even the f.c.c. hasn't to see if d.c. is sort of been out there trying to share information and let people know in this space what they should and should be doing i think that's right i think to see if he took an early view that this is out there there's nothing we can do to stop it really. so we might as well figure out what the problems are they embrace virtual currencies as a commodity and they early on to exercise jurisdiction over derivatives based on commodities as well as using their anti-fraud authority to root out potential bad guys in this area so i think the sea of the sea has taken a very very pragmatic view from the beginning i think it's very careful to say they haven't a dos the product but they simply recognize it's there and it has to be dealt with it can't be ignored it's good to send out warnings to investors they've done a lot of lot of education into absolute commended for that but they've al

bitcoin or other digital currency used them themselves what are you i think bart you know bitcoin is very important and it will stay important it even doesn't matter what's a name is a bit korean or it's just you know the notion of post national currency currencies that is not controlled by any government or it it just knows there and it will not disappear anytime soon i think never right because we just we just stage where you know money was controlled by governments this is that right. and if it's big corn or any other crypt i think there will be like at least ten or twenty cryptocurrency that will have set function right so that there's decentralized money i think this is just huge right. began of course. again i'm just talking about financial services. there are a lot of different applications very interesting one concept of ownership rate is to can you see. if you're to present a physical asset or a liquid asset or any kind of asset as a tokens at least sounds of like chain that is steered by smart contract you know as a governance code right not by people i mean that's complete

. >> what has that digital age done for your profession? jane: locked. i think -- a lot. one thing is, it allows us to reach more broader of an audience. things like the having post online, blogs, podcasts. it is very democratizing. i think more people will be interested in what academicians have to say. usually they cannot find them. it is a great opportunity for us to meet them through that that we could've simply through the editorial pages of the new york times. huffington post can reach a lot of people. then you think about, how do you talk to a really broad audience as opposed to college students or other audiences, other academic resources. the online presence makes that possible for many people. anyou are telling me about experience, an article you wrote about a confederate general. can you to that story? jane: sure. what happened in charlottesville oft summer brought a lot historians into the public square because these were things we knew about. we knew about the monuments, the history of them. we wanted to talk about it. that was an interesting moment, a burst
