Science: Peter Miller: Learning from Swarms
The modern world may be obsessed with speed and productivity, but National Geographic senior editor Peter Miller says we 21st-century humans could learn a lot from the ancient instincts of ants, bees, and birds, creatures who crowd. Already, says Miller, author of Smart Swarms, their collective intelligence has influenced airline-boarding procedures, spy networks, and robotics, and the wisdom we glean about crowd behavior could even help us solve our own complex problems with business, politics, and technology. Presented as part of Seattle Science Lectures, with Pacific Science Center and University Book Store. Series sponsored by Microsoft. Series media sponsorship provided by KPLU.
