TED Talk GO

 In TED Talk, Wael Ghonim comes and introduces us to the "five challenges facing today's social media" and to "liberate society". Social media has positive and negative impacts. Some positive impacts are: ability to express feelings, ability to obtain knowledge, ability to communicate from far away, ability to work easier, and the ability to browse through new trends. However, some negative impacts are that the social media may be dangerous, can be hacked to leak personal info, bad rumors, cyberbullying, and addiction.

In TED Talk, Wael Ghonim talks about "five critical challenges facing today's social media". The five critical challenges are: 1. Rumors are getting out of hand. We don't know how to deal with rumors. Rumors that confirm people's biases are now believed and spread among millions of people. 2. We block and just ignore people who we don't agree with. It seems now we are just making our own echo chambers. 3. Just because we are behind screens and no one can see who we are, people think it is okay to offend us. People think it is okay to not treat others like human-beings. 4. Now because of the speed and brevity of social media, we are forced to jump to conclusions and write sharp opinions about complex world affairs. However, once we do that it forever stays in the internet. 5. The internet is making us talk at each other instead of talking with each other. 

Wael Ghonim also talks about 4 ways, but I only have 2, how we can "liberate the internet". 1. If we want to liberate society, we first need to liberate the internet. 2. To create a new media platform for conversations. Wael says, "As a believer, I teamed up with a few friends, started a new project, trying to find answers and explore possibilities. Our first product is a new media platform for conversations. We're hosting converstions that promote mutual understanding and hopefully change minds."
