Summary

Damon Horowitz reviews the enormous new powers that technology gives us: to know more -- and more about each other -- than ever before. Drawing the audience into a philosophical discussion, Horowitz invites us to pay new attention to the basic philosophy -- the ethical principles -- behind the burst of invention remaking our world. Where's the moral operating system that allows us to make sense of it? (Filmed at TEDxSiliconValley.)Talk by Damon Horowitz. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
