The Language of Feelings | Alex Willcock | TEDxGlasgow

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. In this inspiring talk, Alex shows how our naivety is powering much of the Internet of today because we don't understand the value of what it is that we are giving away for free. He explains how our feelings and 'who we are' is currently a missing layer of information from the digital dimension and how much easier our lives will become when we are able to be fully understood. Alex paints a picture of the foreseeable future where the 'Internet of Feelings' transforms our interactions between each other and suggests that from it all will develop a far better connectivity and understanding between people.

Alex Willcock was recently described by The Guardian newspaper as 'an Internet visionary' for his leadership of VisualDNA, one of 'Five British Tech Companies to Watch'. Alex and his team of 150 people based in London, have pioneered a movement to combine big data and psychology to deliver better understanding across the digital ecosystem including unlocking credit to tens of millions of people.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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)
