TEDxBerkeley 2018: You Are Here

When is the last time you looked at a map? As it turns out, the map you choose determines what you see. Various perspectives will show you: Alaska can cover Finland, Sweden, and Norway; and Africa is larger than China, India, and the contiguous United States combined. The lenses you pick are important, and with our 2018 TEDxBerkeley event, we hope to give you a sense of where we are. In fact, we want to pinpoint just where you are. On February, 17, 2018, we will be in Zellerbach Hall, Berkeley, California, but let’s consider a dimension other than physical space; you stand amid technological, scientific, cultural, and social advancement, each of them a function of time. Consider any pair to be our axes, and we now have a new map across history, events, and places. Each map gives rise to a new perspective, telling a different story, and we want to share a select few to ultimately build a better map of the world, beyond two dimensions. However, to see through each of these lenses, we’ll need your help. Join us in finding our place, pinpointing that marker and red dot: You are here, and so are we.
