From YouTube: Carolyn Reckhow Part 2 // An Ethereum Interview Series
Description
We sat down with Carolyn Reckhow, Director of Operations at ConsenSys, to discuss how to communicate about Ethereum with non-technical people, how the adoption of the technology will take place, and blockchain applications for the energy industry. This series focuses on trying to explain Ethereum to a non-technical audience.
A
Psychology
and
kind
of
how
we
interact
with
people
and
understand
the
core
neighbors
are
and
how
we
can
trust
and
operate
in
economic
and
political
systems.
I
see
almost
so.
You
mentioned
kind
of
like
two
ways:
I
see
almost
three
ways
that
block
chaining
athyrium
is
going
to
kind
of
come
to
be
inundated
in
our
lives.
Yes,
I
think
it's.
A
It
is
possible
for
the
community
to
educate
folks
on
what
this
is
and
in
kind
of
what
it
could
mean
for
individuals
and
creating
values,
creating
their
own
like
economies,
and
things
like
that,
like
around
crowdfunding
and
kind
of
community
formation
and
identity
and
reputation.
I
think
that
it
is
a
good
kind
of
way
to
go
with
education,
but
I
think
you
need
to
step
outside
of
the
technical
sphere,
step
outside
the
crypto
sphere
and
even
the
computer
science
here
and
really
embrace.
A
A
Little
biased,
I
come
from
the
social
sciences,
but
I
think
that
yep,
the
social
sciences
and
even
under
other
industries,
such
as
like
the
energy
industry
or
the
healthcare
industry
and
kind
of
just
your
even
like
design
professionals
kind
of
coming
at
it
from
a
lot
of
different
places,
is
one
way
you
can
educate.
Folks,
I
mean,
I
also
think
that,
like
you
said
there
could
be
some
some
product
or
something
that
kind
of
comes
out
of
the
woodwork.
A
A
People
don't
know
about
what
tcp/ip
means.
You
say:
that's
the
average
person
I
guess
I'm
has
the
internet
work.
It'd
be
really
knows,
I,
think
it's
possible
that
the
you
know
the
big
block
chain
revolution
could
really
just
be.
You
know
happening
at
this
like
technical
level
down
here,
we're
like
the
pipes
get
switched
out
and
your
average
person
doesn't
really
understand
it
or
care
to
understand
it,
and
maybe
there's
these
these,
like
you,
know,
higher-level
applications
and
benefits,
and
you
know
you
peer
to
peer.
A
You
know
marketplaces
and
economies,
kind
of
shift
in
ways
because
of
blockchain,
but
like
people,
don't
really
understand
why
or
it
could
be
around
something
like
the
energy
industry
and
the
transition
of
the
grid.
I
think
that
is
a
really
fascinating
use
case.
That
I've
been
thinking
a
lot
about
recently,
there's
a
couple
of
different
ways
that
people
are
looking
at
the
application
of
watch
chain
in
the
energy
grid
or
in
energy
markets
specifically,
but
the
general
the
general
concept
is
that,
like
the
electrical
grid
is
something
is,
is
the
system.
A
The
electrical
grid
is
something
that's
really
hard
to
like
granular
eyes,
like
all
of
the
different
movements
of
electricity
and
and
to
kind
of
have
a
big
comprehensive
system.
That's
really
saying
that
that's
reflecting
accurately
like
the
load
of
electricity
kind
of
on
a
large
scale,
and
that
is
it
reflecting
back
accurate
data
about.
A
You
know
how
much
energy
this
building
might
be
using
versus
this
building
and
when
there's
different,
like
demands
for
electricity
during
the
day,
because
people
are
using
energy
less
or
more
how
that
demand
is
balanced
with
the
the
actual
producers
of
electricity.
It's
it's
a
very
sort
of
antiquated
old
system
and
that's
partly
because
of
the
way
that
electricity
kind
of
just
like
flows
like
water
on
the
grid.
A
Like
related
to
the
flow
of
electricity,
that
can
be
not
rated
in
electricity
markets,
the
amazing
block
chain
and
we'll
talk
more
granular,
accurate,
but
also
kind
of
having
weighs
almost
an
IRT
sense
of
of
tracking
efficiency
and
there's
a
lot
of
money
to
be
saved,
and
it's
it's
really.
If
we
can
figure
out
how
to
do
like
black
change
like
electrical
grid
right,
especially
with
the
the
transition
of
the
grid,
is
kind
of
what
they
call
it
in
you,
like
the
energy
industry
Boop.
Essentially,
what
that
means
is
we
have
to.
A
We
have
to
transition
from
fossil
fuels
right
to
renewables,
and
solar
is
really
a
big
piece
of
that,
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
really
interesting
thinkers
out
there
that
are
projecting
that
in
this
transition
towards
your
solar
and
being
able
to
track.
You
know
prosumers
and
consumers
of
people
who
are
producing
their
own
electricity
right
on
their
own
solar
panels
on
the
roof
of
the
house,
and
you
know
yeah
transacting
with
their
local.
You
know
utility
company
to
sell
that
back
and
like
manage
it,
and
you
know
ideas
about
peer-to-peer
like.
