one of the good speech i’ve heard about social media... i always prefer the youths talking about this rather than the old people lmao.

This reawakened me in so many levels. I came here for academic purposes and let me just say that this is the only resource video that gave me so many learnings.

Truly said! Social media is just a waste of time.

What he said is actually a topic on which we should think about.
Thank You Ted for this amazing video.

Can't believe this was made in 2015.
Now, in 2021 this video hits me differently.

great talk! so many valid points! now, we need to figure out a way to combat the issue(s); I agree about Snapchat :) I’ve been off social (for the most part lol) for over a year; the first platform where I’ll likely re-engage is Snapchat: no ‘likes’, no number of views visible to users, no comments visible to users, etc. Snapchat has a lot of great features (and lack thereof) that make it better than the other social media platforms
