(DIS)CONNECTED
We live in an increasingly interconnected world. Advances in technology allow us to circumvent language barriers and cover large distances, while diplomatic and political developments have blurred national borders and narrowed the gaps between social groups. At the same time, warnings of information overload share newspaper headlines with reports of rising loneliness. Are we actually one great family or simply alone together - connected or disconnected? What does (DIS)CONNECTED mean to you?
At TEDxEdUHK 2019, we invited speakers from different backgrounds to share their own unique perspectives inspired by this topic.
