:00:00. > :00:07.the shots that killed her. Those are the latest headlines. Now, on BBC

:00:08. > :00:11.News, it is time for Click. I am about to change the world and I have

:00:12. > :00:30.everything I need. It my coffee, this is my computer, and this is my

:00:31. > :00:36.office. `` this is my coffee. This week on Click, we go underground to

:00:37. > :00:40.live, meet and work with the hackers who are trying to change and or

:00:41. > :00:45.undermine the system. Do we need another social network's Twitter

:00:46. > :00:51.co`founder is Stone seems to think so and we will check his new app,

:00:52. > :00:55.called Jelly. If you find particle physics hard to understand, we are

:00:56. > :01:00.at CERN to meet the filmmakers who are bringing technology to bring the

:01:01. > :01:07.stories of science to life. Here is one for me, how to conquer your fear

:01:08. > :01:15.of spiders, coming up in Webscape. `` Biz Stone. Welcome to Click. It

:01:16. > :01:20.is tempting to think all innovations these days come out of big shiny

:01:21. > :01:25.companies like Apple or Google. Or, maybe the cheeky little start`ups

:01:26. > :01:28.that they will end up buying. If those inventions to end up changing

:01:29. > :01:33.the world, they will make their parent companies a lot of money.

:01:34. > :01:37.Many of the foundations of the internet were actually built on

:01:38. > :01:40.so`called open standards, available for anyone to use and adapt and

:01:41. > :01:46.invented by people who won't in it for the money. `` were not in it for

:01:47. > :01:51.the money. We have met this guy, Cody Wilson on click that before,

:01:52. > :01:59.and he designed, printed and fired the world 's first three deep into

:02:00. > :02:03.it done. `` three D printed. His latest project is the release of the

:02:04. > :02:09.Dark Wallet, a tool to further analyse transactions made by

:02:10. > :02:14.bitcoin. What is surprising about the way the project is delivered is

:02:15. > :02:19.the programmers behind it are living and working in squats around the

:02:20. > :02:23.world. They are choosing a communal, open`source slice `` life over the

:02:24. > :02:27.millions they could command in silicon valley. Barcelona is a

:02:28. > :02:29.centre for these developers and Jane Cope stake spent a week in one of

:02:30. > :02:47.the cybersquat. `` cybersquats. May is one of the older squats in

:02:48. > :02:51.Barcelona, occupied for 25 years `` May. It is hosting a group of

:02:52. > :03:09.Europe's most influential hackers. Amir Taaki is one of the key

:03:10. > :03:12.developers and a former develop a poker player and video designer. He

:03:13. > :03:19.was expelled from school for hacking. From a young age I was

:03:20. > :03:24.reading about science and I was sitting playing videogames and

:03:25. > :03:31.seating different scenarios `` seeing. You start to see things you

:03:32. > :03:40.could improve on and and make better. He was recently named by

:03:41. > :03:44.Forbes magazine as one of the top 30 tech designers. He rewrote the

:03:45. > :03:49.source code for bit more in. I got into open`source, which is a

:03:50. > :03:54.movement of people around the a lot of the software we use and depend on

:03:55. > :03:59.IQ software in our Routers and in supercomputers, or on the internet,

:04:00. > :04:04.runs Linux, which is built by people around the world might built by a

:04:05. > :04:09.community, worth billions, more than Microsoft or Mac OS X. People all

:04:10. > :04:13.around the world come together to develop software around these

:04:14. > :04:16.principles. The principles of free software driving the movement have

:04:17. > :04:25.led some developers to work in a network of squats you are doing the

:04:26. > :04:28.bulk of the work? Yes. Pablo Martin is one of the main developers

:04:29. > :04:31.working with a mirror on the Dark Wallet and has been living and

:04:32. > :04:34.working in squats around the world for 12 years. I have been spending

:04:35. > :04:41.time with them as they prepare for the release of the software. I see

:04:42. > :04:46.it as a way where I can not need to work for the money but for learning

:04:47. > :04:51.and on the thing that matter so me and others. They live off little

:04:52. > :04:58.money, getting some food for free by dumpster diving from supermarkets.

:04:59. > :05:05.We are just getting the food and that's it. When will you get to bed

:05:06. > :05:20.? A couple of hours, or maybe until the morning. The next day,

:05:21. > :05:23.everything is quiet in Kasa de la Muntanya. Not everyone has been

:05:24. > :05:28.asleep. I have just woken and it is morning here in the Scott, and while

:05:29. > :05:33.I have been asleep at the Dark Wallet team have been busy working

:05:34. > :05:39.all night on the project `` here in the squat. They work on guifi.net,

:05:40. > :05:47.providing free Wi`Fi to people in rural areas of Spain. Our people

:05:48. > :05:53.hungry for these tools? Completely. People in other countries are using

:05:54. > :05:59.it. They want to pay us money. The Dark Wallet as well, people need

:06:00. > :06:02.it. Lee it is important that when you are developing tools to empower

:06:03. > :06:05.people and give them more responsibility, more sovereignty

:06:06. > :06:10.over their lives, it is not enough that you are just developing them in

:06:11. > :06:14.the black box, you need to deploy them with people who are actually

:06:15. > :06:20.using the tools. One of the tools they are bringing to the community

:06:21. > :06:24.is a bitcoin ATM. It is not up and running, but the goal is for people

:06:25. > :06:26.to use the Dark Wallet with the machine, and eventually people can

:06:27. > :06:32.buy and sell bitcoin and exchange them for euros. Beyond local

:06:33. > :06:35.applications, they see bitcoin as a political tool, able to influence

:06:36. > :06:47.situations like that in Iran, where his father is from. The situation is

:06:48. > :06:52.volatile in a run. `` Iran. Became the used to evade sanctions from the

:06:53. > :07:01.US, said censorship of currency payments in Iran and use it to hedge

:07:02. > :07:05.against the rial. Became the controversial. It is the reason

:07:06. > :07:10.these developers give up millions to live like this. Have you sacrificed

:07:11. > :07:18.a lot? Yes. A few times I was homeless. Many times I was without

:07:19. > :07:27.money. You are so often just by yourself, isolated. It is difficult

:07:28. > :07:30.sometimes. The squat lifestyle might not be to everyone's taste, but for

:07:31. > :07:32.this movement, the open`source way of life fits perfectly with their

:07:33. > :07:44.way of coding. Living rough in Barcelona and what a

:07:45. > :07:47.fascinating story. With me is Jamie Bartlett, writing and art and

:07:48. > :07:58.research in technology subculture is. You visited a squat similar to

:07:59. > :08:04.the one yen visited. It was interesting to see how different

:08:05. > :08:08.people live together `` Jen. They share everyday activities, cooking,

:08:09. > :08:13.eating and sleeping. That rubs off on the way that a programme and

:08:14. > :08:18.code. They are committed to "software, free software, sharing

:08:19. > :08:25.what they do openly and a lot of they design is used by all of us for

:08:26. > :08:30.nothing. Is tempting I would imagine for people who saw the report to say

:08:31. > :08:34.that these people are just dropouts and they can't be bothered to get a

:08:35. > :08:39.job and use their skills elsewhere. Are they really as influential as we

:08:40. > :08:47.are hearing less yellow some of them are extremely influential. ``? When

:08:48. > :08:50.you look back on the history of modern computing, the great pioneers

:08:51. > :08:55.were dropouts, people who did not play by the rules, look for

:08:56. > :09:02.alternative ways of living. What you make of their ideas? Will they

:09:03. > :09:06.change the world for the better? You could argue that cybersquat 's and

:09:07. > :09:09.open source communities have already changed the world and they have

:09:10. > :09:18.already changed it for the better `` cybersquats. Some of those that work

:09:19. > :09:23.on specific crypto currencies like bitcoin and who are trying to make

:09:24. > :09:27.genuinely anonymous forms of currency transaction, I think that

:09:28. > :09:32.is going to be incredibly important in the years ahead. Some of it is

:09:33. > :09:38.good and valuable, but within it contains the seeds of problems for

:09:39. > :09:43.governments especially. Jan Ness did a bit of effort in getting in touch

:09:44. > :09:49.with these people, and gaining their trust `` Jen invested. Why are these

:09:50. > :09:55.people hard to contact? Why don't they trust people? It is an

:09:56. > :10:00.interesting question, trust with these people. The systems they

:10:01. > :10:05.design are about trying to create systems that you can trust. They are

:10:06. > :10:08.often not trustworthy of other people. One of the reasons for that

:10:09. > :10:14.is that they know what they are doing. They know the projects and

:10:15. > :10:16.plans a controversial and they know there will be journalists and

:10:17. > :10:21.researchers and government agents and other nefarious interest who

:10:22. > :10:26.will try to find out what they are doing. They don't care what the rest

:10:27. > :10:30.of us think. They are happy living in their squat, designing pieces of

:10:31. > :10:38.software that they believe will conquer the world. Why should they

:10:39. > :10:45.bring anyone else in? Thank you for shedding light on what is a

:10:46. > :10:51.fascinating movement. Next up, I looked at this week 's

:10:52. > :10:55.tech news. Change all your passwords, that was the advice from

:10:56. > :11:00.a host of security firms following the discovery of a major bug

:11:01. > :11:04.nicknamed heartbleed. The exploit was discovered in software called

:11:05. > :11:08.OpenSSL, used by servers and operating and messaging systems.

:11:09. > :11:13.Designed to protect sensitive data as it travels back and forth, the

:11:14. > :11:17.vulnerability in OpenSSL could have exposed anyone visiting sites which

:11:18. > :11:22.use the software displaying and electronic eavesdropping. Running

:11:23. > :11:27.low on battery? And Israeli start`up has a solution. Store. Shows off a

:11:28. > :11:34.desire that fuels your phone in 30 seconds. It uses nanotechnology and

:11:35. > :11:37.relies on conductive crystals to ensure rapid charging. It is

:11:38. > :11:45.reportedly hoping to begin production in two years. It is

:11:46. > :11:48.difficult to take selfie is and it is possible you might drop your

:11:49. > :11:54.phone while getting the perfect angle. This self enhancing live feed

:11:55. > :12:01.image engine aims to change this. It is a 2`way mirror powered by a

:12:02. > :12:04.processor. Stand in front and smile. Facial recognition technology will

:12:05. > :12:12.do the rest and will post your face automatically onto Twitter. There

:12:13. > :12:16.are plenty of ways to get social online these days and it is not all

:12:17. > :12:21.about sharing pictures of pets, children and dinner. It is often

:12:22. > :12:29.more useful when it is used to help each other out. From networks like

:12:30. > :12:34.Yahoo Answers in 2005, to newer ones like Quora, users ask and answer

:12:35. > :12:37.questions, with good answers being voted by the community. There is a

:12:38. > :12:51.new nightly Day on the block and it has It is the brainchild of Twitter

:12:52. > :13:01.founder, is stone. We caught up with him to ask questions of our own ``

:13:02. > :13:06.Biz Stone. Social media is Biz Stone's business, he programmed one

:13:07. > :13:10.of the most influential weather apps in the world. In the days before

:13:11. > :13:17.hashtag is an selfies, Twitter had its fair share of detractors. Not

:13:18. > :13:22.only did the idea, it changed the world. I think we are still trying

:13:23. > :13:27.to find where the appropriate line is. Do you post your beauty party

:13:28. > :13:32.pictures on a social network to live on for ever? Or do you use one of

:13:33. > :13:38.these applications that has it disappear after ten seconds? All

:13:39. > :13:45.this connectivity, it makes me want to ask, what is the true promise of

:13:46. > :13:50.a connected society? I have to think that it is helping people. People

:13:51. > :13:56.helping each other. It sounds nice, but will Jelly become the go to

:13:57. > :14:02.social app for advice? Or if the idea is wobbly as its food

:14:03. > :14:10.counterpart? So, take a picture... At a question... And, sit back and

:14:11. > :14:14.wait for the answers from your social network to roll in. In the

:14:15. > :14:20.meantime, you could answer a few questions that other people have

:14:21. > :14:25.posted. In the space of just a couple of minutes, I have answers to

:14:26. > :14:29.the question I put up. If only high had put a useful question there.

:14:30. > :14:34.Speaking of which, what are people actually using this for? I do

:14:35. > :14:39.marketing education in my business, and they asked a question about what

:14:40. > :14:42.are the most tired and overused marketing phrases, and I've got a

:14:43. > :14:46.few good responses for that. I have used it a bit for my business and a

:14:47. > :14:51.bit for personal, and I have had some fun entering people's

:14:52. > :14:56.questions. Compare to social networks, you can't we have a proper

:14:57. > :14:59.discussion on Twitter, so posting a question on Jelly is like posting a

:15:00. > :15:06.question on Facebook, it will hang around long enough for other people

:15:07. > :15:09.to see it and respond. Asking questions on the internet is of

:15:10. > :15:16.course about as reliable as you would think it might be, but people

:15:17. > :15:29.can vote and set up. It is similar to read it, Yahoo Answers, and

:15:30. > :15:37.Quora. We are reaching one degree and two degrees out, and someone

:15:38. > :15:39.might not know the answer themselves, but they might know

:15:40. > :15:45.someone in their contacts on their phone who can help you. Now, you are

:15:46. > :15:48.jumping right out of any sort of network into a whole new social

:15:49. > :15:54.network. That is the strength of weak ties phenomenon. One of the

:15:55. > :15:58.reasons behind Twitter's success could be down to the way the

:15:59. > :16:03.platform listened and adapted to its users. A famous example is the

:16:04. > :16:11.hashtag. They were officially adopted after others were already

:16:12. > :16:19.using it. LJ Rich, talking to Biz Stone about

:16:20. > :16:24.jelly. Have you ever played a game that has been so compelling you have

:16:25. > :16:28.completely lost herself in it? If you have, it means that someone has

:16:29. > :16:32.done a great job designing the right story for the right technology to

:16:33. > :16:38.immerse yourself in. That means, in theory at least, no topic is

:16:39. > :16:42.off`limits, even though it is not traditionally considered thrilling.

:16:43. > :16:46.David Reid has been to the European Centre for Nuclear Research, sermon,

:16:47. > :16:50.where groups of scientists and creatives have been working out how

:16:51. > :17:01.to tell compelling stories about science. `` CERN. How do you tell a

:17:02. > :17:04.story about particle physics? The science is hard to grasp and

:17:05. > :17:14.complicated to explain. Yet, particle fever, a documentary about

:17:15. > :17:19.the discovery of the Higgs boson or God particle is captivating

:17:20. > :17:24.audiences and critics. I did not think I was making a film about the

:17:25. > :17:27.discovery of the Higgs boson, I thought I was making a film about

:17:28. > :17:32.scientists and their passion and what the process is. I think you

:17:33. > :17:39.need to focus on something that has dramatic elements and good

:17:40. > :17:44.characters. Making scientific stories accessible is exactly what

:17:45. > :17:49.he tried at the film institute is trying to do at this happens on,

:17:50. > :17:55.called Story Matter. It is their own CERN experiment, a sort of creative

:17:56. > :17:59.particle accelerator with scientists, artists, filmmakers,

:18:00. > :18:04.colliding with one another in a confined place. They have just five

:18:05. > :18:09.days to make a compelling story about science. I think if they have

:18:10. > :18:13.a core interest of storytelling in general, and you put them around the

:18:14. > :18:17.table for five days, extraordinary things will happen. Because it is so

:18:18. > :18:23.novel, you automatically attract audiences. This is how applications

:18:24. > :18:29.and games are made. The teams wrestle with technical issues. And

:18:30. > :18:33.tough subject matter. One team is telling a story about viral

:18:34. > :18:48.infection, another about dark matter. Teams at the Tribeca Hacks

:18:49. > :18:51.upon, they are producing stories about international sciences. It has

:18:52. > :18:56.an infinite number of possible endings. How you interact is

:18:57. > :19:05.important, some are experimenting with remote sensing to move their

:19:06. > :19:08.stories along. Another team has stories triggered by people huddling

:19:09. > :19:21.together. It is a new take on social gaming. After five days of late

:19:22. > :19:27.nights, the teams take to the stage to show their creations. This is

:19:28. > :19:36.what dark matter looks like. When a person signs on, the Twitter profile

:19:37. > :19:39.is activated. It shows what you can get when you mix digital

:19:40. > :19:44.storytellers and scientists together, and bombard them with

:19:45. > :19:57.Coffey and a creative particle accelerator `` coffee. To follow or

:19:58. > :20:00.not to follow? That is the question that Twitter aficionados are

:20:01. > :20:06.constantly debating. Kate Russell is no different, but she has an

:20:07. > :20:08.application to help are the site. We would expect nothing less. He she is

:20:09. > :20:20.now, with Webscape. The average Twitter user follows 102

:20:21. > :20:26.accounts, but some are following thousands. If that sounds like you,

:20:31. > :20:35.your following an follower list into more manageable chunks, revealing

:20:36. > :20:44.who is engaged with you and who is just deadwood. Some Twitter follow

:20:45. > :20:49.lists have become completely unmanageable. With thousands of

:20:50. > :20:53.people to sort through. It can make a prospect of spring cleaning the

:20:54. > :21:01.dead, in active and pointless accounts out just to be a chore to

:21:02. > :21:06.even start thinking about. With batch on following you can quickly
