From a fresh perspective on hackers to what happens when you reply to a spam email.
We recently put together a list of our favourite education in technology
TED Talks. From virtual reality science labs and a 12 year old app developer, to a lovely way to teach children about computers and the future of teaching children how to code. We've now put together some of our favourite tech based talks, including the a fresh way to look at hackers and new shape shifting technology which could change the way we work and communicate.
1. Keren Elazari: Hackers: the Internet's immune system
In this talk, Keren Elazari, showcases a new perspective on hackers. She sees hackers as the immune system for internet age, "Sometimes they make us sick, but they also find those hidden threats in our world, and they make us fix it."

2. Shape-Shifting tech will change work as we know it.
Sean Follmer examines what the world might look like if we moved on from just using a keyboard and mouse.
He features a 3D shape-shifting table which transfers the screen to something you can physically touch and manipulate, potentially changing the way certain industries work or the way we communicate via the internet, allowing you to pick up objects, remotely, using pins which rise out of the surface and change on demand. Further featured technologies include a phone which turns into a wristband and large scale versions of the 3D shape shifting table which can move objects around, bringing them to you or reminding you to pick something up on your way out of the day.
The results are fascinating and as Sean states, "the computer has fundamentally changed the way we think about tools because computation is dynamic".
