In the first live public demo of his new technology, TED Fellow Arnav Kapur introduces AlterEgo: a wearable AI device with the potential to let you silently talk to and get information from a computer system, like a voice inside your head.

E-cigarettes and vapes have exploded in popularity in the last decade, especially among youth and young adults -- from 2011 to 2015, e-cigarette use among high school students in the US increased by 900 percent. Biobehavioral scientist Suchitra Krishnan-Sarin explains what you're actually inhaling when you vape (hint: it's definitely not water vapor) and explores the disturbing marketing tactics being used to target kids. "Our health, the health of our children and our future generations is far too valuable to let it go up in smoke -- or even in aerosol," she says. Watch »

I live quite near a junior middle school, and happened to see some schoolboys playing with e-cigarettes last year. I had no idea it was harmful at that time. Until one day, my husband came home with fruit-flavored e-cigarettes, and even I liked that flavor very much. Then I realized that it's addictive and must be harmful. But there are not many reports on it, and I can't persuade my husband to give it up. Now we heard your talk and decided to do something to let the school know more about the harm it brings to students' bodies."
