This video taught me a valuable lesson: read the comments before watching a video to save time.

[Franklyfun]

Content starts 18 minutes in. First 17 minutes are an advertisement for the speaker’s employer, a magazine.

[barrywatkins]

First 15 minutes could be 2 minutes of advertising for MIT Technology review. You can probably skip if you are looking for the 10 Breakthrough technologies.

[hiddendrifts]

is it just me or does this presentation watch more like a student trying to give a class presentation than a professional journalist discussing advanced technology

[BC-ne]

If you have an hour to cover 10 technologies and you spend 18 minutes advertising your magazine, you might want to change the title of your talk

[brianchristiansen]

You’ll see others commenting this too, but I want to emphasize that during the heat pump section, she stated a common mistruth, which heat pumps don’t work in colder climates. That has been incorrect for nearly ten years now. People even use them now in near-arctic regions, and as someone who lives near this journalist, I can confirm they do work in the Boston region, and I’m getting mine next month.

[stianmaurstad]

Small correction: @46:00
Heat pumps do work in cold climate, even in Norway during winter, so they should work in Greater Boston to 😊

[omarmiz]

wow this makes me never want to have anything to do with that magazine ever

[brookshamilton]

This video described why I should be an MIT Technology Review subscriber.

Unfortunately, it demonstrates why I’m not.

[tomdewey]

Thanks for sharing this list.
However, how is X competitors a technical achievement?
Also, heat pumps can be used all over the US for quite a while now.

[jonpfeffer]

You would hope to keep this type of session to be about facts instead of disparaging x/Twitter for one of the topics.

[NaimaZakaria]

This will be probably the case study how presenters got replaced by AI bots talking about big technology.

[danielforster]

Don't waste your time listening to this.

[rohitk]

I should have glanced at the comment section before wasting 15 minutes on the initial part of this video

[JohnlStub]

Heat pumps are all over Canada. And in case you don't know, Canada is COLD!

[kinghenry]

damn twitter and their damned....free speech

[peglegkangaroo]

a great reminder about journalism. I actually never considered supporting journalism before and definitely think it's way more important than anything else listed. great talk

[sinematographers]

"SXSW staff members assembled on August 12, 2023 as a vendor in partnership with the Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT), and marching alongside other local businesses and organizations down historic Congress Avenue"..This from SXSW Websie...Now i understand the anti Twitter sentiment

[circinus]

Terrible on all levels. Everything mentioned has already happened in 2023 or prior. And ending with talk of twitter killers as breakthrough tech, omg - this is MIT??
