No Doubt! Way to direct the conversation mark!
That was very interesting! I was talking about this conversation during dinner tonight…..
I had asked my friend:
“How do you think communication will change within the next 5-10 years? How will we become more connected? Can you imagine the unimaginable?
Maybe brains will realize that we cannot become more connected then absolutely digitally connected and we will start sponataneously evolving psychically. .hehe
@violaineroe You get up there and speak in front of all those people, lets see what you say at the end of your sentence, that is if you finish it. lol
nice vid, check out this new cellphones

Hello TEDtalksDirector
I have to admit I am very impressed with the quality of your videos here on youtube.
They are certainly a pleasure to watch as I do enjoy them.
I am sure there is many others who also feel the same about your videos.

@violaineroe hahahaha so many times
we have a ‘democracy’ in the uk (supposedly) , which can be ok for getting permission to put a shed in the garden,or dog shit bins in the local park,(even then,only if your lucky)..but it doesnt make the slightest bit of difference what the public thinks when it comes to the real big issues, like our part in the unprovoked attacks on iraq and afghanistan.
democracy or republic, i dont think it makes much difference these days tbh..same shit in a different box
russian facebook is better ))) can compare!

Hundreds of Twitter accounts hacked bit . ly/2T8NBn
HA! you noticed that too? Did you do a “right” count? Maybe if I have an abnormally boring day I’ll do it….It would make a good drinking game.
Stop saying “right” at the end of each sentence.
twitter is by far better than myspace and facebook.trust
The Illuminati will love the media explosion. Everything can seem like one big conspiracy, hiding as one big conspiracy.
the way we express are selves through these mediums is what is the true revolution.
the last story he spoke of strikes a cord on why Americas gov’t isn’t the best. We are not a Democracy but a Republic. This means that the people only have an influential say; we do not have the final say. If so many people were against FISA then in a true Democracy then that is what the States stand would be. However we are a Republic and the leaders we choose ultimatly have the final say on nearly everything
Together changing the world.
is that a bald tom hanks?

I will be silent now because I know!
Please don’t mention the word “global” with the “White House” at the center.
You think China, North Korea, South Korea, Russia, Japan France,Iran,Great Britain ,Israel so many, etc will stand by and not choose sides or do nothing while perhaps Nuclear Missles are flying everywhere? We “GLOBALLY” will say, “If we’re gonna go? Let’s all go with a big bang!
Guess what, it’s not CHINA rather Asia, rather the ” World”. I will can go on with Religions or even its Justice, Evil, and TRUTH.
You see China as a way of helping gain your personal wealth and power is what I now see or hear.
When was the last time you heard or read Martin Luther King Jr’s “I Have A Dream”?
By the way sir, How do you say “White House” in 6,809 different languages “GLOBALLY” ? Sir.
Greed……..That logo of the “White House” in the center should have many more faces of the world both black or white. Both happy or sad. Both Good or Evil. Did you think that there is no faces surrounding the United States of America “White House” where right now President Obama lives with 2 daughters with a black colored dog. More detail detail detail detail SIR!
