At our TEDxBarcelonaSalon events we foster networking, dialog and the discussion among all members of TEDxBarcelona. In order to achieve this we meet once a month and listen to an interesting talk. After watching the talk we discuss about the presented subject. In order to make this event effective we limit the number of attendees.

Our December-TEDxBarcelonaSalon event took place on Monday, 2nd of December at 19:00 at the library Excellence (C/ Balmes 191).

Erik Brynjolfsson: The key to growth? Race with the machines

As machines take on more jobs, many find themselves out of work or with raises indefinitely postponed. Is this the end of growth? No, says Erik Brynjolfsson — it’s simply the growing pains of a radically reorganized economy. A riveting case for why big innovations are ahead of us … if we think of computers as our teammates.

First we watched the video together. As always, afterwards we discussed about the content presented (in spanish) among all attendees. We finished the event with networking and a glass of cava.
