Thursday Talks – Using Social Media | The Twisted Truth by Absolute Motivation

by | Jun 7, 2018 | Brain science, Change, Creativity, Freedom, Human Rights, Social Media

This talk, Using Social Media | The Twisted Truth by Absolute Motivation, was so interesting and timely that I thought I would share it with you today rather than a TED Talk. I use social media and I have mixed feelings about it. While it can inform and connect us, it can also do the opposite. It all depends on how we use it.

Here is what Absolute Motivation has to say about this talk:

“This might be one of the most important videos I’ve edited in 2018. After everything that has been going on with the privacy crisis and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg going to Washington to speak with members of Congress, I felt that this video was timely. I think social media can be good but we must be careful with how we use it.”

TED Talk Thursday – Siyanda Mohutsiwa: How young Africans found a voice on Twitter

by | Apr 14, 2016 | Humor, Inspiration, TED Talks

According to TED.com: “What can a young woman with an idea, an Internet connection and a bit of creativity achieve? That’s all Siyanda Mohutsiwa needed to unite young African voices in a new way. Hear how Mohutsiwa and other young people across the continent are using social media to overcome borders and circumstance, accessing something they have long had to violently take: a voice.”

“When her hashtag #IfAfricaWasABar went viral, Botswana writer Siyanda Mohutsiwa triggered a lighthearted but electrifying discussion of some serious African issues.”

Enjoy!

For those of you not familiar with TED Talks here is a brief summery from www.ted.com: “TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences — the TED Conference in Long Beach and Palm Springs each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK each summer — TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and Open TV Project, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize”
