TED Harald Haas: Wireless data from every light bulb
点击观看About the Speaker:
Harald Haas is the pioneer behind a new type of light bulb that can communicate as well as illuminate – access the Internet using light instead of radio waves.
About This Talk
What if every light bulb in the world could also transmit data? At TEDGlobal, Harald Haas demonstrates, for the first time, a device that could do exactly that. By flickering the light from a single LED, a change too quick for the human eye to detect, he can transmit far more data than a cellular tower -- and do it in a way that's more efficient, secure and widespread.

点击观看About the Speaker:
Paul Bloom studies our common-sense understanding of the world -- how we know what we know, why we like what we like.

Why do we like an original painting better than a forgery? Psychologist Paul Bloom argues that human beings are essentialists -- that our beliefs about the history of an object change how we experience it, not simply as an illusion, but as a deep feature of what pleasure (and pain) is.

点击观看Intelligent Design
Frederick Gregory is Professor of History of Science at the University of Florida, where he has taught for 30 years.Intelligent design (ID) is linked to the classical argument from design born long ago in Western history. In the 20th century, new versions of the argument surfaced in the anthropic principle of scientists John Barrow and Frank Tipler. The modern use of the term “intelligent design,” however, refers to a specific movement born around 1990. Not necessarily a critique of evolution, which many proponents of ID accept, the claim is that it is necessary to distinguish natural cause (scientific explanation) from naturalism (metaphysical belief) and intelligent cause (scientific explanation) from supernaturalism (religious belief).

点击观看L05 - Confucianism and Daoism
Kenneth J. Hammond, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of History, New Mexico State University
This lecture will explore the basic concepts and texts of Confucian and Daoist thought, which developed as a response to the crises of the Zhou order in the Warring States period. Confucianism is an essentially positivist approach to the world that seeks to understand the ways in which people can live together in social communities. Human relationships and a system of ritual are central to Confucius’s concept of a well-ordered society, and learning is the mechanism for maintaining that order. Daoism is, by contrast, a radically skeptical system, which doubts that knowledge is reliable and views all human action that is based on lofty ideals and theories as dangerous. The Daoist thinkers Laozi and Zhuangzi advocated a naturalistic, laissez-faire approach to life, which asserted, “by doing nothing, nothing is left undone.”

点击观看Austen and the Comedic Tradition
Timothy Spurgin, Ph.D.
Associate Professor of English,
This lecture is the first of two on Jane Austen, the most beloved of all English novelists. In this lecture, we will focus on the sociological dimensions of Austen’s work, noting her responses to larger historical forces and commenting on her use of comedic endings. Although Austen’s work is often described as timeless, it is actually rooted in a specific time and place. In Pride and Prejudice, Austen comments on the phenomenon of social mobility. In addition, Austen wonders how traditional elites can be protected from their own worst impulses, and in arranging her comedic endings, she uses marriage as a metaphor for political and social regeneration. The happy couple at the end of Pride and Prejudice serves as an example of how wealth and privilege can be combined with a sense of duty and humility. Although earlier writers had tried to create similar effects, none of them had managed the task as skillfully as Austen. As a result, her novels would become classic expressions of the emerging comedic tradition in English fiction.
