mobile internet technology is unique from it telecom technology standpoint. what i mean by being unique is it does not scale like the way telecommunication technologies have in the past. in the past you run a strand of fiber and it is a step change capital requirement. a step change cost structure. you have a lot of capacity for long time, it is a fixed cost investment. in the world of mobile data, you had one megabyte of data capacity. there is a direct and immediate cost that goes with it. a capital requirement and operating cost that goes with it. as the requirements go up, the cost track with it. there are efficiencies and productivity gains but it is more of a less scalable technology than what we have seen in the past. the pricing has followed those economics. the pricing tends to be more user sensitive. there are a lot of companies, i fully expect market forces will take you to a place where a lot of companies say i would like for xyz customer segment, market segment to be able to access our content. they might be more inhibited to use it because there

but that technology is expensive. when you layer on the technology from electricity, from electrification, plus all the connectivity, you are definitely driving the price up. the question is, how does the car maker try to bring down that cost on the back end in order to glean a decent profit? i do not think that anyone has figure that out yet. trust me, that is probably their number one focus right now. host: this twitter message -- host: democratic caller, you are up next. caller: this has been in -- on my mind in florida i would hear of people driving into lakes and not being able to get out of their cars and driving -- and dying, and i wondered if it was because the windows were electric and they could not roll down. the thing that worries me about computerized cars is that i do not know if they are say and-- if they are as safe and people panicking about the nsa gathering information should even think about it they want a car that they cannot control themselves when they are in it? guest: i cannot answer the one o

we know that technology in businesses is valuable, but we are talking about the other jobs that technology sustains and that means how does it affect our tourism, health care, education, those areas. i think every city is going to have their ears open very widely and even send reps to gain this kind of connection and learn how to attract this technology to their cities. we've always been very open to assist other cities and create that relationship. >> it gets your interest and you around the world because they tell their families and it brings knowledge in our cities and knowledge of the world that has built products in the marketplace in your country. all of that works. kids in particular, want to come to places that are environmentally responsible that challenge you and give you lots of opportunities to live side by side with other people that have new ideas, different ideas, and that sort of thing. that's what i have always loved about san francisco. it is a dense city, not as much as city of new york. that gives you a chance to have a life experience 24/7, not just during your busines

first technology summit. bloomberg's philanthropy sponsored and we learned a lot and saw some very good examples that we thought it would be wonderful for our two cities, bloomberg philanthropy and what us both as mayor's do which is bring our experience to each other and offer an opportunity for other mayor's to join us in a great summit. in september 30th, of this year, we'll be in new york to kickoff the first two planned summit meetings. inviting other cities to participate and develop an agenda and talk about and not only what the city and businesses can do with us but also increasing technology and where we find the comfort in areas that are corner stone for economic in the country. i'm talking about education, infrastructure, arts and culture. how does the technology help us continue so we don't see this as the bubble that some people continue to expect it, but to see it as the foundation for economic recovery and expansion all across the country. i will be very interested in the topics, not only cover

but that the technology of the internet was going to change. and as it changed, it would surveil us more efficiently, it would control us more effectively, it would destroy lots of the fundamental values that we thought we were guaranteed through this technology. and what i was frustrated with is people didn't seem to see the way in which the technology invited us in, and then it was a trap. and having developed the political response necessary, even the understanding necessary to resist it, and to reinforce the type of liberties and privacy that is our tradition. >> it's obvious that we're creating a national security complex, that is increasingly imbedded in our way of life. would you say just like the military industrial complex that dwight eisenhower warned against? >> yeah. but we should remember the first version of dwight eisenhower's speech, which was not the industrial complex, it was the military industrial congressional complex. and they talked about dropping the congress al from that story. but i think that's the most important one,

the technology is out there. the technology is out there for you to buy and sell digital goods, books, and movies. thais -- sometimes the right price for content is indeed zero. mean the copyright is compatible with it. it is the baseline. you can watch broadcast content, they will just be a commercial with it. there are some companies try to stop that from being the case with questionable measures. in contrast with cellphone, it should be contract law. whether the subsidy should be accompanied with $350 early termination fee or $1,000 early termination fee. these are all questions about how to price content, how to price cell phones that happened to occur through voluntary transactions in the market subject to a baseline road. -- baseline rule. letting actors build the law the best governs new technologies. of contracts a mix law and copyright law, not necessarily the dmca, was a statutory add on to copyright law. i look forward to having another event about the overall revision of the copyright rules, probably

how does technology help? nothing more important than a great teacher, but if we can get this learning 24/7 at home, we can help parents with our own education, 72-year-old mom going back to getting a g.e.d., how can technology help bridge the divide between schools and home? >> jose, you have to tell your story about your students going or their parents leaving. >> well, in some instances, and this is very heartbreaking, but i work with latino kids, and a lot of the parents, some of their parents, i should say all of them, but some of them sometimes get deported in the middle of the school year. it happened to my mom, and 50, 60 years still later it's still happening. until we get our immigration rights. >> we are working on it. >> i know, and we're all grateful and supportive. but when a partner gets deported, you can still have a teacher conference, because before the parents leaves, the first thing you get, is if you don't have a gmail, set one up. and then have the parents all seem to be smartphones. it's

so i imagine this kind of technology maturing into implanted technologies. now, that's going to be a long ways away because brain surgery is no trivial thing. but there may come a day when it becomes relative safe and relatively cheap to do that kind of thing. that would outperform the collective communication and what i call telepathy ollectively. >> all right. we can take the next question. >> hi. >> go ahead. >> this is mostly directed toward dr. hardaway. but my roommate who works in a preschool, montessori preschool and they don't do any sort of video recordings or not supposed to watch tv or even listen to recorded music because they think that children need -- come up with things on their own and watch -- than watch tv and stuff. and i was just comparing that to like -- my cousins have their little ipads, and they're like 4 and always on their ipads. and i'm wondering, what are your thoughts about that? i don't really have a good way of free agency the question. -- of phrasing the question. >> question for dr. hardaway about the cognitive development

technology will see you next time enjoy the right. i would rather ask questions for people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on r.t. question more. let me let me hear one word all let me ask you a question. here on this network it's never having a debate we have a nice sound for. it if you get this right that spanks think there's again we're in a situation where me and i don't even talk about your name and we. told. her. well i'm john martin in washington d.c. and here's what's coming up tonight on the big picture with no deal in sight federal student loan rates are set to dawdle starting monday that of endless wrangling congress would be better to just provide free public education for all like we used to before reagan we'll talk about that and more in tonight's big picture rumble and while the supreme court handed seven same sex marriage supporters to huge victories this week equality for all americans regardless of sexual orientation is still in t

and you can look for us to be a technology hub going forward and we have never been followers. and have always been leaders. it's a very unique place and a great place to live. i relax by driving through and gatherings and reliving great memorize of being a kid in oakland and then i may end up just parking around little grand lake theatre and drive down and take a look at the paramount and so if there is a play that is happening and so the first thing that i tell people is go to jack land square and you will be surprised that we have a square and so shore line and it is the it could be the giving of great say food and go see things that inspire me about oakland is again it's ability to change. for every think that you would every say negative about oakland, i can say ten positives we are our own city. oakland to know it, is to love it.. >> (applause) all right. so thank you mayor khan and now we have for san francisco coming up and to sso to welcome mayor lee welcome kristine row wish senator vice senior vice president of service area of case zero permanenta. >> thank you pecul

i know you've been brought in to advance our technology. i'm in agreement with supervisor bred on a lot of issues on the digital divides. i'm really glad that a lot of the senior centers are being excepted. at any time a good training of many seniors who are using technology for the first time. i know the brngs program in its last year what are our plans to continue to target population sets that don't have access and are struggling to keep up with the changes in technology? >> this is where i'm supposed to be careful. so the grant is going to be consumed i believe by september. their all the channels we can tap. and then there are partnerships we can is the reason with people who care about this topic. without talking about things that are not signed i can say that much. by it's extremely important to me. it's not only the digital divide in age and minorities and not only the 3 by 5 it's hardware and it's homes. you say do to the park and do your homework. the amazing thing when you're in san francisco and in this area altogether is there'

the technology moves so fast.by the time it to the legislative process, assuming it was really good -- let us assume it is the best you can have in the world. it would still be too late. you really cannot.it moves too fast. i understand why you could make the argument for political reasons and why you need to do these things. the technology is not going to wait to stop. it is done over the world. there are really smart people over the world working on these kinds of issues. my point being is i recommend in a way this collaborative structural center -- i find that if there is the set of strategic guidelines that set the rules of the road, which is i think something that could be done through policy so we know when minor theft happens in the bank -- i hate to say that is minor, but compared to an act of war, it is certainly different. there are some guidelines we conform as collaborative approach. i think there is hope. i do not think it can be solved legislatively. i only make the argument as looking from an engine

or to commercialize the technology a company called. potential adverse side effects are much smaller than with something like a. traditional. in human clinical trials had to be passed. earlier in two thousand and twelve at the moment they're working on having it approved by western health agencies. targeted. to increasingly impaired vision. these russian made able to do much more. there. is a result of. the. different picture when used extensively they greatly decrease the number of tissue sections. as the first guinea pig even before he got the russian regular. in my opinion the results pretty much speak for themselves. i'm very short sighted i started suffering from cataracts. for years. as a result of using the eye drops the cataract disappeared my myopia dropped from minus seven down. but surely getting there. already sold twenty five thousand bottles to. innovators this is just the first step. difference is. thanks to the video. it also shows the mistakes. very. all of this enables the student. complex is home to the inspiration be

this is what technology has always done. it has always change the kind of landscape in which we live. you always have old-timers, while the youngsters develop new skills that are as powerful and more profound than anything that has gone before. it has changed the way we think about information, retrieve and redistribute information. i think that is good in many ways. so what if kids grow up not remembering what the capital of florida is. i think more valuable skill is to teach kids how to look that up. we can now spend less time teaching kids how to minimize and more time to think about the available information, including its reliability. just the fact that is on the wikipedia does not mean it is right. >> i would really like to weigh in for just a moment on this really profound question. if i know where the information is, why do i need to remember it or memorize it? i remember coming through medical school and we had these big books. i remember looking kind of bewildered and people said you don't really have to remember a

there's a lack of classrooms, space and technology. libraries are really busy compared to what you have here. >> i have noticed the problems women face are different. here in the united states compared it afghanistan where i live who basically, if communities -- >> here i par test pay the in a discussion at the san jose estate university. the women have more freedom than in afghanistan, but even so, some of them face inequality. >> we have to work. in afghanistan, woman are faced with difficulties in life -- violence, sexual abuse, limited access to education, healthcare and employment. in addition, most women are ill literal. woman want quality and to end gender inequality. >> when we come back, equal time will continue. >>> welcome back. on this edition we have some very special guests. let's meet them now. >> i'm head of the university at afghanistan. >> i'm from afghanistan. >> i am from afghanistan. >> my name is maria and from afghanistan. >> thank you all for being here. we welcome you to the bay area. one of the things that's i

up next department of technology. mark welcome back >> good morning i'm mark director of the department of technology. first looked like to thank the analysts katie for a productive process with collaboration and i'm glad to say we're in agreement with the analysts this morning a >> - pending budget details >> okay supervisor breed. >> i had a question about federal entrant i think we received that has expired in terms of the support given to technology services at western edition beacon as well as a senior center near the 9-1-1 center. with your budget has there been any support allocated for those programs. they were funded by other sources by in your new you budget i cannot whether or not they've been planes to move those promises forward. >> are you refer to the b top grant on - on the general inclusion. >> excuse me. >> are you referring to the b top. >> i'm sorry i can't hear you. >> the b top grant is that? >> was a grant i don't know the name i was wondering is there a backfill or will those programs continue.

just as technology connected jim and me, this technology has a way to create these communities and san francisco and soma and new york and so ho. we are creating that technology. it's key to our economic growth. right across the street, it connects both cities. it's grown to a small network of cafes all over san francisco including new york. it's important to bring together these business leaders and mayor lee cares deeply about these issues. i would like to introduce mayor lee. it's with his support that san francisco has become a leading example how government and business can work to together to spur economic growth. [ applause ] >> thank you, jack. thank you for giving us a tour. it remarkable what you have done here and kind of revolutionizing the way we pay for services and products and eventually the topics i like is philanthropy. thank you for inviting us here. mayor bloomberg, welcome back in san francisco and it's great to see you here. you have been a champion and a great leader and it's nice to see the opportunities for me and other mayor's across the country to get these p

when you're using toys, it demystifies the process of medical technology.ink they're a black box that you can't go and crack open, and you need an expert to even take a screwdriver at it. you may not have the courage to hack a $1,000 device, but you definitely have the courage to hack something that's $5. and then if you add a little ingenuity, it becomes something as powerful as that $5,000 medical device. >> $7. i'll probably use that for that agricultural prosthetic. knowing that i can wake up and legitimately go to a toy store and buy anything i want for research and then go and take it apart is like being a little kid again. >> thank you. >> thanks very much. >> more importantly, even if we work on boring devices, and sometimes we have to work on boring devices, that still has a lot of relevance and use in a developing country. and when we get pictures of patients using our devices, it's the best feeling in the world. >>> we invent every day at the little devices group at m.i.t. that's where we focus on the diy experimentation for medical devices. and

at this point colleagues we'll move on to the department of technology >> yeah. whenever you're ready. looks like we need the projector as well. there it goes okay. so it's good to be back >> please speak into the microphone. you can pull it towards you >> i'm going to try to and share with you the well, the executive summary in the first couple of months to put the pressure on what does the department agency do. i think it's important just for the - just for the golden gate exercise one colleague advised me to ask for fuel in case have a problem. so during the exercise we asked for fuel and the request was denied and we had to report back that all the communication shut down because without fuel the department takes care of the infrastructure of the tore and some of the colleagues didn't fully appreciate that it was funny. so we provided citywide services and we provided architectural. that's the fiber we run through the radios and the infrastructure with those towers. we run the city mainframe that hosts the application that mr. rosen talked about. the multiple

through mobile and other forms of technology we can streamline the technology so it, fit into the public's schedule. another area where teenage can make technology inclusionary any people lack competency in los angeles so the mobile would allow people to participate without knowing english. in fact, one of the delegates said it allowed folks who know spanish could flush out the words in other form. this would be particularly important in san francisco where language is spoken in 44 percent of household. the second way technology is to enhance pb allow people to collaborate more ways that compliments calculation. it can help to organize a thought. imagine for example a pb proposal in which the wisdom can allow people to build off other knowledge. so 15 i would like to add when i think of san francisco i think of innovation. we're already wired citizens and we have the opportunity to leverage our technology to innovative in democracy. this is something that really only san francisco, california do. as a constituent i would be exist to know that san francisco can be an example to the world ab

technology will see you next time enjoy the ride. clay is the perfect material it's a lie you make just a small change and you get a totally different result. what a pretty top knot you have. this is a little complicated. it's like geometry we start by marking out the incision lines as a guide. it's very intricate work where my life has changed one hundred percent. of the field operating table here more than just a very small table as long as i had a flashlight and a working battery and i had a good enough environment to work it. was among them along with some other terrorist leaders. as if he's reminiscing about just. looking at you at the same time he's somewhere else. when i watch this. doesn't feel like me at all and. it's someone totally different someone i don't know. mission. critical you should free storage free. range month free. three stooges free. hold free books videos for your media project a free video dog our teeth on tom. the week's top stories here on r t ecuador's president says the fight to fugitive whistleblower e

it's roughly 24 to 28 million we're spending on this technology. i'm not sure we should be headed in this direction because of the advanced in technology and where we are. i read over the report and the fact it started as a $10 million contract we've amended it over the years. now we're adding an amount that is extremely larger than in the past. i don't know this is the right direction to go in. i don't feel comfortable to move forward with this item without having more details >> perhaps we should mention a few things. first of all, i didn't met with you. >> in my 40 days i started on april 29th. >> so colleagues i had a chance to meet with mark a number of weeks ago and as he's getting going thhis imply job there's a lot of things that need cleaning up. mark has my confidence and we'll continue to work together with mark he'll bring in a profession to manage contracts. so i want to make sure that mark isn't just coming forward and saying that he can do things he canned. i understand why mark is agreeing with the recommendations. could you clarify

even more widely and use technology in order to disconnect from technology. when we are in place of wisdom, harmony, and strength, life is transformed from struggle to grace. we are suddenly filled with trust, no matter how many setbacks, challenges, and disappointments we are facing. there is a purpose to life that is often hidden and that often makes sense only when we look back in our life, not as we are experiencing it. basically, when we move to that place of trust and race, we can live our life as one suggested, as if anything is rigged in our favor. we have talked about well-being, wisdom, wonder and the last measure of success -- empathy, compassion, the willingness to give back. the founding fathers wrote about the pursuit of happiness. if you go back to the original document, as i'm sure you all have done, happiness does not mean the pursuit of more ways to be entertained. it is the happiness that comes from feeling good by doing good. many of you already know that. [applause] smithies have given back in countless ways, near and far, working with ch

the focus is about technology. technology and science, both things we need to do. i'm interested in learning more about life sciences and how we're going to be ready to support human life in these long-term missions. i know we're talking about one year missions coming up. we have really big things we need to know and be able to survive to do these missions. a that sounds an awful like built question. >> i will take it but it will make nomad. -- bill mad. informed a lot more on spaces. we have issues of human physiology and the environment of radiation and deep space and things we are unfamiliar with. theyour mars missions, carried a radiation monitor with it. we evaluated the radiation on a trip to mars. we know about it. we know we will need shielding. we will probably not hang out on the surface. we will need some type of covering of habitats that give you additional shielding. we want to go as fast as possible. we need this in any spacecraft. we sometimes take shelter on the international space station. wen i was doing spacewalks had the space radiation analysis

of 2013cking technology act. what is that? >> another bipartisan bill that overturns a decision i the librarian of congress who works for us that criminalizes cell phone unlocking the if you can believe that. this is basically when you buy a cell phone and sometimes you have an obligation that criminalizes the act of the locking your own cell phone are putting in another card are changing it to a different number. absolutely absurd. it is very popular in many countries. there are legitimate reasons that somebody might want to do that. they might want to have two or three numbers on one phone. mike depends on service. -- it might depend on service. those are criminalized. in the innovation around cell phone applications that is being developed area it would simply overrule the decision of the librarian act of congress and prevent people from going to jail. >> why is the librarian of congress involved with cell phones? >> like a lot of members, i was surprised to find that we had a librarian who a these kinds of powers. i knew w
