  A comment on Talk: Richard Wilkinson: How economic inequality harms societies

  Nov 26 2011: I just wish more (Czech) politicians and voters watched this talk before decreasing taxes for rich and taking money from poor on basis of "everyone has to create their own luck" Unfortunately, in our society, it is very easy to make those comparatively richer (or middle class) to envy the "social benefits" given to the comparatively poor. As a result, the political parties aiming to widen the gap have the power and the situation becomes worse.

• A comment on Talk: Joe Sabia: The technology of storytelling

  Nov 26 2011: Appreciate the correlation between the message and the way he presents it.
  Simple, amusing talk, simple, true idea.
  The question remains: So what?

• A reply on Talk: Graham Hill: Less stuff, more happiness

  Oct 10 2011: I guess the difference is he is not only talking about it, he is example of doing it life. Only the idea of not searching for bigger, but smaller appartement, is kind of life changing.
  Also he introduces this website: http://lifeedited.treehugger.com , which includes inspiration how to use smaller space, thus not having the possibility to buy so much stuff...

  A reply on Talk: Steve Jobs: How to live before you die

  Oct 7 2011: I would never expect me to write this, as I prefer my Android phone and Windows 7 on Toshiba computer..and Ï think the apple mania is little bit exxagerated, however, Steve Jobs has changed the world a lot, and I would say certainly more than most of other people living in our times.
  Not everyone has to be Al Gore to save environment or Mother Theresa to heal others. I believe that his leadership style,driving the innovations, made online communication much easier all around the world, thus enabling every environment geek to spread green ideas more efficiently and thus helping the green issues, also, hiim surviving the cancer for quite a long time gave people hope they can fight diseases too.
  His innovations helped us, the humanity make another steps in the development.
  Also, he is inspiring many people that I know, they get courage from his story, thus realising things they might not have realised otherwise.
  So maybe, he did not directly fight for the "right" causes, but he definitely helped others who wanted to do so.

• A reply on Talk: A robot that flies like a bird

  Aug 4 2011: well, i guess there is still long way before this Bird will be able to endure what alive birds can, but it also depends on the usage the Bird will have. If for edu and sciences purposes, maybe it does not need to be waterproof.

• A comment on Talk: A robot that flies like a bird

  Aug 4 2011: It looks so life-like! I am impressed!

• A comment on Conversation: Are you reading all the comments in the discussions where you want to contribute?

  Aug 1 2011: I just figured, there is new type of communication online... traditionally, we have one2one, one2many, but now all this blogging, updating, tweeting, +1... can as well be one2none...

• A comment on Talk: Adam Ostrow: After your final status update

  Aug 1 2011: Such a thought-provoking talk...
  
  As I am thinking about it, I am not sure if I want something else to live my life after I am dead. It is my life. Or if I would like to interact with my friends/family as robots/holograms after them being dead... it is painfull to think about them as dead, but creating them as AI is not much more comforting...at least to me.
  The image seems little bit horrific to me, imaging flat where we live with our family full of robo-us.
  Maybe I am too retrogressive.

• A reply on Talk: Robert Hammond: Building a park in the sky

  Jul 31 2011: or you can use this link on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Promenade_plant%C3%A9e
  
  Although compared to pictures in the presentation, the NYC one looks prettier... :)
  
  still impressive initiative and good job done making it happen in NYC!

  A reply on Talk: Dean Kamen: The emotion behind invention

  Jul 31 2011: Also, I think the "war story" is stressing out the fact that WE did it to those kids (we = government sending them to fight) so probably WE should take care about them in more extraordinary way. Taking responsibility.
  I am not saying that people who lost their parts in accidents or due to illness should not be care about, but somehow to them. IT just happens, so there is little bit less strong moral coming from it, since it was not US who did it to them.
