>>Loic Le Meur: Hello. My name is Loic. And
the real reason I came here was to test how
the Google transcription systems work with
my French accent. So let me know, please,
as I go through the slides.
I host a conference called a Web in Paris
which is in December and it's 3,000 people.
And I also have a company called Seesmic.
Everything is becoming a platform. Of course,
you know Android and you know iPhone and the
App Store, hundreds of thousands of applications
all platforms. And I think it's fascinating.
In fact, if your company doesn't have a platform,
you should really create one right now.
There's another platform which is coming which
is Google TV with hundreds of thousands of
applications.
We're going to create one as well which is
going to completely change TV.
But I was thinking of another platform, which
is what I wanted to share with you today.
I was thinking about a body. A buddy? A body?
How is this doing? A platform. So my human
body. Let's make it more precise. This is
a Wi-Fi scale you step on, and it sends your
weight without it doing anything straight
to the Internet. It's great. You can see how
you get fat, flabby. That's actually a kid
growing here.
You can also share it through Internet, of
course, and on Twitter and on Google Buzz
and Linked In and others. And the reason why
you would do that is because it gives you
motivation. So there are sites starting to
appear like FatDrop.pr, where I can challenge
you like a game. Remember the foursquare games?
I can check in at my office place? Same here.
I can challenge you with my weight. This is
all gaming.
Now I can also challenge you with RunKeeper,
which is a great app which gives you live
running, live biking data. And you can match
them up. Already talking to RunKeeper. So
you can see how much you do fitness how it
has an effect on your weight.
Here is fitbit, another device which you wear.
And it tells you how much you walk but also
how much you sleep, how you sleep, how long
you sleep. And it shares it with your friends.
So that's very powerful.
Of course, you could connect that to your
DNA. Now let's get even more deeper into your
body. You get your DNA information. And you
have here an ecosystem of applications and
data around your health and your body, which
is starting to appear. That's not the end.
Are you not frustrated when you go to the
doctor that you have to fill out exactly the
same questionnaires over and over again? So,
of course, Google Health is trying to solve
that by help you sharing with your doctor
in private.
My dentist took pictures of my teeth before
and after she did what she had to do. Imagine
now, if you start sharing and another doctor
or another dentist could check what she did.
You could also share what you eat. You will
drive most people crazy. Right? Like when
foursquare started or Twitter started. Here
you share what you eat, and it's really very
important information that we all needed to
have online. And you can see these very valuable
pictures here.
So sharing, you might laugh at that. But,
actually, if you think about Zinga, Zinga
has completely redefined the gaming industry
in less than three years because it added
social to it.
I think adding social to web applications
and to other data, your body can -- (inaudible)
those applications will completely change
the game. Of course, we'll have to be careful.
But you can think about the iToilet, for example,
which is a device I was really dying to get
myself. And I looked online, and I actually
found it. Somebody did it. It's called Toto.
It's called -- let's see the name exactly.
But this is going to send data. Intelligence
toilet II. Very interesting.
But just think about this over time, of course,
it will become standard. We won't even pay
attention to it.
But your phone can stream the quality of the
air. If you live in Mexico or San Francisco
or Paris, you won't be the same. It could
stream how many cigarettes you smoke, if you
do. It could stream how many beers or recall
how many beers you get. It could tell you
how many days of life expectancy you lost
by doing this or you gained by drinking wine.
It could compare thousands of people with
exactly the same patterns as you and telling
you hey, you should actually maybe drink red
wine. Of course, insurance companies will
love to get access to that data. And it's
scary. But I think the opportunity to improve
our health is going to be so huge that the
risk and security issues will find solutions
for them.
So imagine an app store for your body. Hundreds
of thousands of applications where you know
what your friends have installed, what they
like, the reviews from your friends. I think
this is fascinating. This is just the beginning.
And I'm already scratching the surface because,
of course, Ray Kurzweil is telling us we'll
be able to download our brain to a computer
by 20 years. So maybe the matrix image that
you upload to your brain how to fly a helicopter
will become true. Thank you very much.
