I'd like to start by asking you all to go to your happy place, please.

Now I'd like to you to mentally answer the following questions.

Is there any strip lighting in your happy place?

is meant to be somewhere natural, outdoors -

And we're surrounded by natural light and organic elements.

Even ink and paper invokes more happiness

So it seems fair to say that natural things make us happy.

And happiness is a great motivator; we strive for happiness.

Perhaps that's why we're always redesigning everything,

in the hopes that our solutions might feel more natural.

with the idea that good design should feel natural.

And you probably think you're addicted to your phone,

we're addicted to the information that flows through them.

I wonder how long you would be happy in your happy place

without any information from the outside world.

Your phone is a conduit to that information

and before that, we used personal computers.

And before that, we used telegraph wires and newspapers.

I'm interested in how we access that information,

We're moving from a time of static information,

held in books and libraries and bus stops,

where your children will expect to be able to access anything, anywhere at any time,

from quantum physics to medieval viticulture,

from gender theory to tomorrow's weather,

It's the dawn of the light bulb, about 1880.

At that time, electricity was considered dangerous.

Information is your children's electricity.

Only they probably won't value it very much

as you probably don't value being able to switch on a light bulb.

But let's stick with our principle that humans love information.

I hope they're not planning to give us sporks for lunch

because we like knives and spoons and forks

in the same way I don't really like my phone very much -

it's not how I want to experience information.

I think there are better solutions than a world mediated by screens.

The Internet of things doesn't just mean your phone talking to your fridge,

it means everyday objects that can behave like apps.

Not just tweet that your cheese is getting old.

and I don't think any of us feel that good

about how much time we spend slouched over them.

They're actually heavily invested in touch and speech and gesture,

things that can turn dumb objects, like cups,

and imbue them with the magic of the Internet,

Before smart phones this was actually the future,

and it had names like ubiquitous computing,

for the problems of ever decreasing font sizes

need physical digital toys teaching their kids to read,

And I think, actually, that's already really happening.

I mean, you're all here, at the Opera House.

And I think, intuitively, we know that that's a better experience
