The Invisible Networks Shaping Your Everyday Life | Deb Chachra | TED
The basic infrastructure that controls plumbing, electricity and more is vital to your individual agency, says engineering professor Deb Chachra. She offers a crash course on how these systems connect to shape our lives — and suggests some key improvements for providing long-term, sustainable energy to everyone. Countdown is TED’s global initiative to accelerate solutions…

Our Electric company is owned by Jeffrey Bezos. They are going with and building a Fracked Gas convertor because it’s cheaper. Even though we have Windmills and solar panels and Massive. Batteries already in place. They sell the renewable to other parts of TX at a profit. This is why I always say follow the money.

So why is anonymity and decentralization not baked into those networks? The level of abuse possible with such a digitalized and centralized global system, should heed warning instead of excitement. Sure, you can make yourself believe, that there are only benevolent people in power. Transitioning to more Authoritarianism, like it is happening in the west right now, compassion becomes a commodity and is exploited as such. You can’t just wave it away, and make THAT a problem of our children instead. There are ways to do it properly, but i heard none of them here.

@@senbossya1330 anonymous usage of those networks. Yes, bills will have to be paid, there are models for that, without the need of making yourself naked, but what happened to innocent until proven guilty? Today we are assuming anyone else of being secretly a terrorist, hence it appears plausible to have full transperency over the usage of such networks. But that can be easily exploited and used against me, without anyone even knowing about it. The networks that are already here and how they act towards my personal data, how they basically blackmail me into compliance, isn’t really trustworthy to me. I want to use the networks without having the sword of Damocles hanging over my head.

A word salad, stating the obvious, or is she reinventing the wheel or is this comedy? It is common for people who think they are smart to “see things” differently, to then walk up against the same obstacles as those before them.
She’s more of a social engineer than a real engineer. By the lack of understanding the “physical aspect” and sees them as an invisible “service where 1000 of people work on” to keep them going.
Let’s keep it to with the power/ electricity network because that’s what she was mainly talking about and what drives the other networks. What do you think this network is today? It’s already decentralized and “globally” connected or a ”locally distributed” system, not a giant monolith (like some architectural projects associated with infrastructure). You want to attach those “renewables” energies you can 🤯. They take “maintenance” cause net congestion, aren’t efficient, reliable or infinite (the sun and wind potentially are, not the things they drive where the energy output comes from) you need to build, replace, repair and maintain them. When directly hit during a natural disaster, they are the first ones to be damaged, so they need to be connected to other sites.
The electricity transportation side of things remains the same and becomes more complex and causes more net congestion the more smaller systems you add with an unstable energy output.
So don’t reinvent the “physical reality” just to study it and approach it from a social perspective. Improve the physical part, make it more redundant, replace and improve the existing infrastructure🙄

I’m a professional engineer whose been designing infrastructure for 30 years. I don’t get the rude comments here. The problem with infrastructure is that it’s invisible and most people take it for granted, until something goes wrong such as the water main that blew up in Calgary this summer. She may not be speaking in technical terms here, but you need people who can communicate the importance of infrastructure to non-technical people.
