re:Think Money and Meaning with the Internet of Things: Chris Rezendes at TEDxSanDiego 2013

Possibilities
Chris Rezendes, founder and president of INEX Advisors, talks about the emergence of the Internet of Things—a worldwide deployment of tiny devices to measure, connect, and tear down the barriers between the analog and silicon worlds. While the focus has been on profit, Rezendes argues for a broader perspective. From water wells in Africa to America's own transportation infrastructure, the Internet of Things can help us put people above machines, faces before screens, and find the path for "AND."


In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
