Summary:

The TED-talk “when technology can read minds, how will we protect our privacy” made by Nita Farahany, is about the protests that followed the Iranian presidential election in 2009. She worries about how mind-reading technology can one day destroy our society.

When Nita’s lived in Iran, she recounts how her phone calls to her parents were always about sticking to non-political issues that the regime might be listening to. She says at one point she was often frustrated at not knowing how her family really felt, but then she wondered what it would be like if she could read their thoughts. In her speech, she also touches on what she thinks we need recognition of freedom which is fundamental to human rights.

Ted-talk “When technology can read minds, how will we protect our privacy?”

The title of the treaty "When technology can read minds, how will we protect our privacy?" gives us a brief insight into the most important topics she will get into. She talks e.g. on the possibilities of EEC technology and privacy. But at the same time, you also become curious, because when you think of mind reading, you immediately think of science fiction, because you may not be aware of the great advances in EEG technology. She also talks about privacy, which also makes one feel insecure about their personal data on the internet.
