Where are the extremists hiding?

0:00:000:00:03

Without realising it, they've already told the world.

0:00:030:00:06

This week on Click, we meet the man who is tracking

0:00:220:00:25

down the terrorists by looking at information hidden in plain sight.

0:00:250:00:30

And we'll check out the technology the extremists might be able

0:00:300:00:34

to use to remain hidden.

0:00:340:00:36

Could twin lasers rescue 3-D cinema?

0:00:360:00:40

We're at a world first in Amsterdam to find out.

0:00:400:00:43

We're also making music with our minds

0:00:440:00:46

and we have some money-saving tips for you in Webscape.

0:00:460:00:49

Welcome to Click. I'm Spencer Kelly.

0:00:540:00:57

Technology touches every aspect of our lives these days of course

0:00:570:01:00

and most of the time, it is used for good.

0:01:000:01:03

But sometimes it is used for ill, too,

0:01:030:01:06

and that certainly seems to be the case with the news coming

0:01:060:01:08

out of Syria and Iraq recently,

0:01:080:01:11

which has been unremittingly grim.

0:01:110:01:14

Today, another barbaric act...

0:01:140:01:16

Islamic State has been waging a campaign of terror with

0:01:160:01:19

horrific results.

0:01:190:01:21

One particularly new aspect to this had been its extensive

0:01:210:01:25

and expert use of social media to broadcast its message,

0:01:250:01:29

both to create fear and to bring in new recruits.

0:01:290:01:32

Some Twitter users this week started urging others to stop sharing

0:01:340:01:38

the group's material under the hashtag #isismediablackout,

0:01:380:01:42

but it only really had limited success.

0:01:420:01:44

But we've come to Leicester to meet one person who's

0:01:440:01:47

using his skills to turn Islamic State's own propaganda against it.

0:01:470:01:51

This is Eliot Higgins, father of one, resident of Leicester

0:01:540:01:58

and a self-employed investigative journalist.

0:01:580:02:02

Working from a small office, he is the founder of Belling Cat,

0:02:020:02:06

a website which uses open source databases

0:02:060:02:08

and the power of the crowd to analyse photos

0:02:080:02:11

and videos posted online by insurgents in Syria and Iraq

0:02:110:02:14

and then tries to work out where they were taken.

0:02:140:02:18

For example, by spotting detail like bridges, unusual buildings

0:02:180:02:22

and other notable features in the background of these

0:02:220:02:24

propaganda shots of a training camp somewhere in Iraq, Eliot

0:02:240:02:28

was able to match the photos to similar shots taken by locals

0:02:280:02:31

and to satellite images to pinpoint the camp's location.

0:02:310:02:36

Earlier this year, after flight MH17 crashed in Ukraine,

0:02:360:02:40

he monitored pictures posted on Facebook, Instagram

0:02:400:02:43

and Twitter by people in the area,

0:02:430:02:46

to track the journey of an unusual military vehicle that he thinks

0:02:460:02:50

was carrying a surface to air missile on that day.

0:02:500:02:53

He even believes he's been able to pinpoint

0:02:530:02:55

the field from which it was launched.

0:02:550:02:58

This is from a video filmed in Ukraine where there's the white

0:02:580:03:01

splodge on the rail, and this one - this is from Russia, which is

0:03:010:03:04

the same one, the same white splodge.

0:03:040:03:07

It might look small, but this operation does cost money.

0:03:070:03:10

Eliot gave up his job to do this full-time and he's recently raised

0:03:100:03:14

over £50,000 through Kickstarter to sustain and expand his operation.

0:03:140:03:19

It really started when I was looking at the conflict in Libya.

0:03:190:03:22

I've just been interested in current events.

0:03:220:03:24

I saw there was a lot of information being posted on sites

0:03:240:03:26

like YouTube and Twitter and Facebook that was being completely ignored.

0:03:260:03:29

It seemed to me some of this information was quite interesting.

0:03:290:03:33

The problem was the whole question of "how do we know if it's true?"

0:03:330:03:36

So I started teaching myself ways to verify this information.

0:03:360:03:39

One of the first videos I looked at, it had a big main road in it,

0:03:390:03:42

a mosque in it...

0:03:420:03:44

They said it was in a certain town, so I went to the town,

0:03:440:03:46

found the road, found the same mosque

0:03:460:03:48

and was able to verify it was the same town using that information.

0:03:480:03:52

And while you might have assumed that Government agencies

0:03:520:03:55

are already doing this kind of stuff and with better resources

0:03:550:03:58

than just one laptop, Eliot doesn't think they are.

0:03:580:04:02

I've been contacted by all kinds of different agencies,

0:04:020:04:05

different departments of the same agency saying, "This is interesting, how do you do it?"

0:04:050:04:10

It's something I'm very willing to show them

0:04:100:04:12

because I think it's open source information.

0:04:120:04:14

If I can figure out where someone is stood

0:04:140:04:17

when they're filming a video, and they're doing that

0:04:170:04:19

week on week on week, that means the person with the artillery

0:04:190:04:22

and rocket launchers can also figure that out and target that position.

0:04:220:04:26

In fact, just last week,

0:04:260:04:27

Eliot claimed to have pinpointed a location south of Raqqa in Syria,

0:04:270:04:31

where American journalist James Foley was killed by militants.

0:04:310:04:35

You can probably make out...

0:04:350:04:37

These are most likely to be trees, rather than individual structures.

0:04:370:04:40

But this is a best estimate based on what we know.

0:04:400:04:43

I'm sure it's in this region.

0:04:430:04:44

So, if technology can be used to expose extra information

0:04:470:04:52

about extremist groups,

0:04:520:04:53

the next logical step is for those groups to try and hide even deeper.

0:04:530:04:59

Jen Copestake has been looking at how new privacy technology

0:04:590:05:02

may help them to keep their activities in the dark.

0:05:020:05:05

Amir Taaki is one of the key programmers behind a tool

0:05:080:05:11

which could potentially

0:05:110:05:12

hide the identity of people using the crypto currency, Bitcoin.

0:05:120:05:16

Along with Cody Wilson, the creator of the 3-D printed gun,

0:05:160:05:20

he's made the Dark Wallet - software to anonymise Bitcoin transactions.

0:05:200:05:25

Already the US government and European banking authorities

0:05:250:05:28

are looking at regulating the use of Bitcoins and are particularly

0:05:280:05:32

concerned about how the Dark Wallet

0:05:320:05:34

could be used as a money-laundering tool.

0:05:340:05:37

These fears grew recently

0:05:370:05:38

when a blog linked to Islamic State was published.

0:05:380:05:41

It included an instruction manual for how to stay undercover online.

0:05:410:05:46

It emphasised the Dark Wallet would have many benefits,

0:05:460:05:49

including the ability to easily...

0:05:490:05:51

We first met Amir in Barcelona.

0:06:080:06:10

Now, he's living in a squat in the heart of central London.

0:06:100:06:14

In June 2013, this was the centre of the G8 protests.

0:06:150:06:19

They were sent 1,200 counterterrorism police

0:06:210:06:25

to evict the place

0:06:250:06:27

and if you see the red paint was where people were fighting

0:06:270:06:30

with paint bombs against the police and many people were arrested.

0:06:300:06:34

The G8 released a document naming Dark Wallet as a key

0:06:340:06:38

money-laundering threat and now Dark Wallet is in the G8 building.

0:06:380:06:42

Staying in the squat is a group of expert programmers

0:06:430:06:46

working on other software to help anonymise your life online.

0:06:460:06:50

They all share the belief that anything an individual

0:06:500:06:52

does should be completely free from government interference.

0:06:520:06:56

They built the Dark Wallet because they don't believe

0:06:560:06:58

anyone should be able to see what you spend your money on online.

0:06:580:07:01

But there's a flip side - we came to speak to them about how they'd feel

0:07:010:07:05

if their technology is going to be used by extremists

0:07:050:07:07

like the Islamic State.

0:07:070:07:09

If there was a link with Dark Wallet to an Isis fighter who was

0:07:090:07:15

involved in beheading somebody

0:07:150:07:17

and you knew that, would you feel comfortable?

0:07:170:07:20

Um, yeah.

0:07:200:07:21

In fact, I shut down my Twitter account

0:07:210:07:23

because they were shutting down Isis accounts.

0:07:230:07:26

I don't think...

0:07:260:07:28

trying to censor information is the way to go.

0:07:280:07:34

Have you had any contact with anyone directly from Isis,

0:07:340:07:37

-asking you to help them?

-No. No way, I don't like Isis.

0:07:370:07:40

So is it a question of you wouldn't stop them from using the Dark Wallet?

0:07:400:07:46

No, you can't stop people using technology

0:07:460:07:49

because of your personal bias.

0:07:490:07:52

I think obviously terrorists will use it

0:07:520:07:54

and you know, the benefits certainly outweigh the risks.

0:07:540:07:58

Equally, obviously terrorists go use the internet.

0:07:580:08:01

Obviously terrorists use freedom of speech.

0:08:010:08:04

And we've accepted that that is a trade-off we must make.

0:08:040:08:08

It's a sort of libertarian worldview

0:08:080:08:10

and at the extreme edges of that, there are those who say

0:08:100:08:14

it doesn't really matter what people do with this technology, even if

0:08:140:08:18

the whole world is sort of torn up -

0:08:180:08:22

what's more important is that we are creating the technology

0:08:220:08:25

that is going to guarantee individual liberty from governments.

0:08:250:08:30

If it comes to pass that Isis have started using Bitcoin or

0:08:300:08:33

Dark Wallet, or any other type of technology of this type,

0:08:330:08:38

then public concern and public opinion about these

0:08:380:08:42

technologies will change dramatically.

0:08:420:08:45

But these programmers don't care about public opinion.

0:08:450:08:48

For them, freedom from scrutiny is above all.

0:08:480:08:51

In the past, opinions and discussions like this may have

0:08:510:08:54

stayed in the squats, but today, combined with their coding

0:08:540:08:57

skills, their beliefs are starting to ripple around the world.

0:08:570:09:00

Jen Copestake with some pretty thought-provoking stuff.

0:09:030:09:06

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the subject - e-mail...

0:09:060:09:09

Or tweet us at...

0:09:090:09:12

Now, in last week's tech news,

0:09:120:09:13

we correctly predicted that Microsoft was about to buy

0:09:130:09:16

the makers of Minecraft for 2.5 billion.

0:09:160:09:18

Let's see what we get right this week.

0:09:180:09:21

In a sign that smart watches may just be starting to gain some

0:09:210:09:24

momentum, motorists in the UK are being

0:09:240:09:27

warned about the dangers of using the devices while driving.

0:09:270:09:30

A spokesman from the Department of Transport says accidents

0:09:300:09:33

caused by such activity would result in severe penalties.

0:09:330:09:37

The US space agency NASA has announced which companies

0:09:370:09:40

it's backing to take the country's astronauts back into space.

0:09:400:09:44

Since retiring their own shuttles in 2011,

0:09:440:09:46

the Americans have had to rely on Russian ships to get off the ground.

0:09:460:09:50

The decision sees 6.2 billion

0:09:500:09:52

being paid out to companies Boeing and SpaceX

0:09:520:09:55

in order to develop their human spaceflight capabilities.

0:09:550:09:59

If all goes to plan, NASA will have rockets by the end of 2017.

0:09:590:10:04

Panasonic has unveiled a hybrid smartphone camera with

0:10:040:10:08

a huge 1-inch, 20 megapixel sensor,

0:10:080:10:11

more normally found in its dedicated cameras.

0:10:110:10:14

Unveiled at the Photokina tradeshow in Cologne, the extra optical

0:10:140:10:18

heft in the Lumix DMC-CM1 should improve sensitivity

0:10:180:10:23

in low light and allow the phone to shoot ultra high-def video.

0:10:230:10:26

With Samsung Galaxy's K zoom also on the market,

0:10:260:10:30

large-lens phone cameras seem to be something of a trend at the moment.

0:10:300:10:34

And it's the programmers' in-joke

0:10:340:10:36

that has become the surprise gaming hit.

0:10:360:10:39

Goat Simulator is trotting off PC and onto Android and IOS devices.

0:10:390:10:44

The game, which is a tongue-in-cheek third person -

0:10:440:10:46

or should that be third goat - adventure,

0:10:460:10:48

allows the player to take their goat to the fair or ride a bike.

0:10:480:10:51

The game also has intentionally buggy sections

0:10:510:10:55

and slightly rubbish controls.

0:10:550:10:56

Now, if you own a home cinema system,

0:11:010:11:03

the chances are you haven't been to the actual cinema in quite a while.

0:11:030:11:07

One way that movie theatres are trying to lure audiences back

0:11:070:11:10

is with 3-D, which seems to work better in a controlled space

0:11:100:11:14

than in the home environment.

0:11:140:11:16

But the problem is, 3-D isn't as realistic or as comfortable

0:11:160:11:19

to watch as perhaps it could be.

0:11:190:11:22

Well, now the movie industry is looking to introduce a new

0:11:220:11:25

breed of 3-D and we sent Dan Simmons to Amsterdam,

0:11:250:11:29

to witness the very first screening of a film made with the new tech.

0:11:290:11:33

The number of cinemagoers choosing the 3-D version of a film has

0:11:350:11:39

dropped by a third in the last four years.

0:11:390:11:42

People are falling out of love with 3-D.

0:11:420:11:44

-The novelty has kind of worn off.

-They're not bright enough.

0:11:440:11:47

-They're too dim.

-All you do is HEAR the movie.

0:11:470:11:49

You know how your mother always said, "Don't read in the dark"? It's not a comfortable experience.

0:11:490:11:53

Now that we can show it at the proper light level of what

0:11:530:11:57

2D would be - a shot in the arm, if you will, for this format.

0:11:570:12:00

This is the world's first screening of a full-length movie

0:12:020:12:06

using the 6P system.

0:12:060:12:08

We project two images simultaneously,

0:12:080:12:10

both the left eye and the right eye.

0:12:100:12:12

The whole idea is we don't have to flash between the two,

0:12:120:12:15

it gives a much better persistence of vision,

0:12:150:12:17

therefore the 3-D looks more natural.

0:12:170:12:20

We don't go through life alternating our eyes, we go through life

0:12:200:12:24

with both eyes open and we see both offset images at the same time.

0:12:240:12:28

These are not servers - they're laser power units, pumping out

0:12:330:12:37

up to 100,000 lumens of light down fibre optics to two projectors.

0:12:370:12:43

Basically put, each projector uses a different mix of colours -

0:12:450:12:49

of wavelengths - to send the same picture to each eye.

0:12:490:12:53

Using these glasses, they only allow certain wavelengths of light

0:12:530:12:57

through, so the left eye can only see what's coming out of that

0:12:570:13:00

projector, the right, what's coming out of this.

0:13:000:13:03

The important thing though,

0:13:030:13:05

is that not in the past has it been possible to get a whole

0:13:050:13:08

projector's worth of light into each eye at the same time.

0:13:080:13:12

Now we can and that replicates how we see.

0:13:120:13:15

We're using a system called colour separation based 3-D,

0:13:150:13:19

Which is very different than 99% of movie cinemas right now.

0:13:190:13:22

They use polarisation schemes.

0:13:220:13:23

The polarisation-based system, you need something in front

0:13:230:13:26

of the projector or inside the projector to polarise the light.

0:13:260:13:29

And that polariser actually absorbs a lot of light.

0:13:290:13:33

With spectral separation, or a colour separation based technique,

0:13:330:13:36

using lasers, we can generate the light right from the source

0:13:360:13:40

at the wavelength, so we eliminate the filter stage.

0:13:400:13:43

The only thing between you and the image,

0:13:430:13:45

or you and the projector, are your glasses.

0:13:450:13:48

Finally, we have a technology solution

0:13:530:13:56

to make 3D as bright as 2D.

0:13:560:13:58

The new system is bright enough to do away with the traditional

0:13:580:14:01

silver screen which can create hot spots of brightness,

0:14:010:14:05

depending on where we sit.

0:14:050:14:06

So, the nice part about actually having a flat, matt screen

0:14:060:14:10

is that it basically looks the same across the board

0:14:100:14:14

for people sitting in the front row, the side row, or the back row.

0:14:140:14:19

And that at least allows everybody to see the movie

0:14:190:14:22

the way the film-maker wanted...made it.

0:14:220:14:24

Well, this is certainly one of the best 3D experiences that I've had.

0:14:290:14:33

I have to say, the glasses are not just reflective on this side,

0:14:330:14:36

but also this side as well, so you do get a little bit of reflection

0:14:360:14:40

when you look through the lenses.

0:14:400:14:42

But it's crisp, it's clear, and the colours are brilliant.

0:14:420:14:47

Could it be the saviour of 3D film?

0:14:490:14:52

I think it is a fundamental piece to continue to support that format.

0:14:530:14:58

'Go-o-o-o-o!'

0:15:000:15:01

Dan Simmons on the next iteration of 3D cinema.

0:15:040:15:07

Now, not all of us are lucky enough to be musically gifted.

0:15:080:15:12

But even if you're not LJ Rich, who can play anything

0:15:120:15:16

on anything, there is still hope. You too could be a musical virtuoso.

0:15:160:15:21

Although it might mess up your hair.

0:15:210:15:23

This is my brain on music.

0:15:280:15:31

On stage at Music Tech Fest in London, my grey matter is

0:15:330:15:37

locked in a musical mind mingle with three other performers.

0:15:370:15:41

This brain quartet is actually an octet.

0:15:410:15:45

We choose a musical phrase by staring at a pattern on a screen.

0:15:450:15:48

If we concentrate correctly,

0:15:480:15:50

this sends our chosen phrase to our operator, the actual musician.

0:15:500:15:54

When I tried this for the first time a few months back,

0:15:560:15:58

one thought wouldn't leave my brain.

0:15:580:16:01

Using systems like this, no-one needs musical training to play.

0:16:010:16:05

The joy of performing could be accessible to anyone. How exciting!

0:16:050:16:09

This conference is all about finding new ways to play music.

0:16:110:16:16

Behind me, the guys on stage are exploring new interfaces.

0:16:160:16:21

The question is what is the best way to use technology to play music?

0:16:210:16:26

Here is the Seaboard, a kind of squishy piano.

0:16:270:16:30

It's been well received at the Fest.

0:16:300:16:32

Now, even if the only tune you can knock out is Chopsticks,

0:16:320:16:35

there's still fun to be had with this interface.

0:16:350:16:37

You can slide up and down under the notes.

0:16:370:16:40

You can wobble the keys to make the note wobble.

0:16:400:16:42

But the real possibilities are only unlocked

0:16:420:16:44

if you can play the keyboard.

0:16:440:16:46

That's the spirit!

0:16:470:16:49

Now, this duo, Intelligentsia,

0:16:490:16:51

uses a smartphone to add an extra layer to their performance.

0:16:510:16:55

By pressing a button on the as yet unreleased AUUG Motion app,

0:16:550:16:58

Bron can add specific harmonies to her vocals.

0:16:580:17:02

I could have just left it on a harmony setting, which would have

0:17:030:17:06

done a computer-generated harmony.

0:17:060:17:07

What I was able to do by triggering the different buttons on the iPhone

0:17:070:17:10

was to change that harmony.

0:17:100:17:12

Meanwhile, the Oscilla is much more forgiving of the humble novice.

0:17:130:17:17

Each counter on the surface simply changes the pitch

0:17:170:17:20

and volume of one or more notes.

0:17:200:17:22

Crucially, this can be scaled up to people size.

0:17:220:17:26

We're now in a stage where we're building the new instruments.

0:17:260:17:30

And most of them, the vast majority of them, are still very rudimentary.

0:17:300:17:34

We're now seeing the emergence of new ideas which could

0:17:340:17:37

potentially lead to a new interface, which is extremely expressive.

0:17:370:17:42

Some of these interfaces have broken out of the concept stage.

0:17:420:17:46

In Leafcutter John's case, the sound may come out of a laptop,

0:17:460:17:49

but what goes in is light.

0:17:490:17:52

SPOOKY ELECTRONIC SOUNDS

0:17:520:17:53

The laptop became something that everyone used

0:17:530:17:56

but no-one seemed to have a good interface for it.

0:17:560:17:59

So I've been looking for a long time at a way that

0:17:590:18:02

I wanted to play that.

0:18:020:18:04

And I landed on this thing which I've made,

0:18:040:18:07

which allows you to play by using light.

0:18:070:18:10

I'm quite a believer in finding the best tool for the job and,

0:18:100:18:14

then, if necessary, you make your own tools.

0:18:140:18:17

This thinking, of course, opens the floodgates for all

0:18:170:18:20

kinds of instruments, like the water synth,

0:18:200:18:22

handily hatched together from microphones

0:18:220:18:25

and a plastic tray of water.

0:18:250:18:27

ELECTRONIC SOUNDS

0:18:270:18:30

And that's what this new frontier embraces -

0:18:300:18:33

technology made by musicians so everyone can feel musical.

0:18:330:18:37

That would appeal to most brains.

0:18:370:18:39

LJ Rich, breaking the sound barrier.

0:18:410:18:43

We do love to break down sound barriers on this programme

0:18:430:18:46

which is precisely what Kate Russell is about to do,

0:18:460:18:48

only hers will save you money. Here's Webscape.

0:18:480:18:52

# I wanna be a billionaire...#

0:18:530:18:55

The internet might be breaking down international borders,

0:18:550:18:59

but the world's banks are taking their time catching up,

0:18:590:19:02

with many still adding charges on to processing foreign transactions.

0:19:020:19:06

TransferWise is a peer-to-peer currency exchange platform,

0:19:060:19:11

disrupting this space by connecting users across international borders

0:19:110:19:15

to make secure cash transfers outside the traditional banking system.

0:19:150:19:20

# The world better prepare

0:19:200:19:23

# For when I'm a billionaire... #

0:19:230:19:25

TransferWise charges 0.5% for payments of more than £200

0:19:270:19:31

and a flat fee of £1,

0:19:310:19:33

or whatever is the currency in your home country, for smaller amounts.

0:19:330:19:37

The service works in lots of countries

0:19:370:19:40

and covers many mainstream currencies.

0:19:400:19:42

You can also get smarter about travel.

0:19:460:19:49

GoEuro is a journey planner that lets you search travel options

0:19:490:19:53

across Europe, delivering a list of all possible routes,

0:19:530:19:57

including flights, trains, and local buses.

0:19:570:20:00

Where GoEuro differs from other sites in this genre is it lets you

0:20:050:20:09

search travel options to where you actually want to go, even

0:20:090:20:14

that, say, tiny town or village in the countryside.

0:20:140:20:17

This site will recommend the best end-to-end options,

0:20:170:20:21

displaying results and prices all in your own language and currency.

0:20:210:20:25

Tickets can be booked through the site. But it's not compulsory.

0:20:250:20:29

And with over 32,000 destinations listed, just browsing could give you

0:20:290:20:34

some brilliant ideas about where to spend your break.

0:20:340:20:38

People love to share what's happening in their life.

0:20:450:20:48

But all too often, that classic opportunity

0:20:480:20:51

is missed in the fumble to get your phone out and start recording.

0:20:510:20:55

Ovrhrd is an iOS7 and above app that runs in the background,

0:20:550:21:01

constantly recording the world around you.

0:21:010:21:04

It only keeps up to the last three minutes

0:21:040:21:06

so you're not going to fill up your memory.

0:21:060:21:09

And battery use is minimal.

0:21:090:21:11

When you hear something you want to keep, just open the app

0:21:110:21:14

and save the clip.

0:21:140:21:15

'I just love making Webscape!'

0:21:170:21:20

You can even add effects by swiping right on the save screen.

0:21:200:21:23

You know when you miss an important line of dialogue in a film,

0:21:250:21:28

or the punch line of a joke,

0:21:280:21:30

and use the handy TV remote to jump back 15 seconds?

0:21:300:21:34

Well, this is like having a rewind button for real life.

0:21:340:21:39

It feels kind of like the Truman Show, in some respects,

0:21:390:21:43

and I can imagine how some people might find it a little bit creepy.

0:21:430:21:47

The app also lets users share recordings

0:21:490:21:51

and follow each other to comment on posts.

0:21:510:21:54

RECORDING OF PARROT MAKING INDISTINCT SOUND

0:21:540:21:57

Right now, you can't keep your account private,

0:21:570:22:00

or ban anyone from following you, which opens up privacy issues.

0:22:000:22:04

But the developers say they are working on a few extra

0:22:040:22:07

features like this as the app matures.

0:22:070:22:10

Kate Russell, gone in 60 seconds.

0:22:160:22:19

And Kate's links are all available at our website, of course.

0:22:190:22:24

Now, it turns out that this week we are celebrating

0:22:240:22:29

a bit of an anniversary because this is Click episode number 750.

0:22:290:22:35

Yes, we are three quarters of the way to our millennium.

0:22:350:22:39

And after nearly 15 years of covering technology

0:22:390:22:42

and innovation, would you believe

0:22:420:22:44

the BBC has finally decided to give us...

0:22:440:22:46

our own YouTube channel. Yeah.

0:22:460:22:50

I know, we've been asking for it for quite a few years and,

0:22:500:22:53

if I'm honest, I think they came to the decision relatively quickly.

0:22:530:22:57

Anyway, we've dusted off our original YouTube trailer and,

0:22:570:23:02

well, I think it still works.

0:23:020:23:04

This radio controlled helicopter can not only fly itself, but it can

0:23:100:23:14

also beam v-v-v-ideo imagery

0:23:140:23:17

straight on to the information superhighway.

0:23:170:23:20

It's the smartphone skirt,

0:23:200:23:22

tailored from 80 different s-s-smartphones.

0:23:220:23:24

Electrically powered unicycle.

0:23:240:23:27

Personal, portable replacement for perambulation.

0:23:270:23:30

The screen overlays useful information

0:23:300:23:33

based on my location, allowing me to record whatever I want.

0:23:330:23:37

Augment reality...r-r-reality with extra information.

0:23:370:23:41

# These are the things

0:23:410:23:44

# These are the things The things that dreams... #

0:23:440:23:47

Click. Tomorrow's world...

0:23:470:23:50

today.

0:23:500:23:52

Yes, anyway.

0:23:530:23:55

Just to repeat, you can subscribe to that channel at:

0:23:550:23:59

It will contain all our best bits are loads of stuff that you

0:23:590:24:02

won't see on the show, too. So, enjoy that.

0:24:020:24:05

Thank you very much for watching, and we'll see you next time.
