    Jessica Irwin! Thank you for speaking out. I running late today and my loved ones birthday and this loved one died in February of ALS, which forced her to become nonverbal. I saw all the injustices and tried to stop as many as I could. I will definitely look you up and see where I can help so others can stop being treated this way. They are all intelligent, capable talented and need to be treated as such. They have a voice that needs to be heard. Their ability to choose/be heard should not be taken away from them.

    Congrats to all the passionate speakers on their great ideas and passions, especially Tim Cernak from the University of Michigan! He appeared at Chicago’s TED talk, but Michigan gets to claim him.

Most of the technology powering life in Europe today — chatbots, the cloud, digital infrastructure — is owned by companies in the United States. Writer and curator Bruno Giussani makes the case that Europe’s reliance on American technology has crossed the line from convenient to risky. His answer isn’t to go it alone, but to build something the continent currently lacks: a real alternative, rooted in a different model. “Technology that does not spy on you — that should be Europe’s digital difference,” he says.
