Future predictions are not just for Fortune tellers. By looking into the past we actually can predict the future and be innovative. We simply have to research and identify the need. And always: do weird stuff to prove your point!
With people from 1900 I will show you how.
 Thién D. Nguyen builds products and services around the theme of making technology more accessible to all humans. He is an industrial engineer from TU Berlin who is obsessed with data exploration. In his thesis, he developed an application that analyses countless websites to make their metadata accessible for science. Thién believes that giving humans access to the right technology can enable them to achieve great things. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
