Summoning the Power of the Internet: Scott Hogg at TEDxCherryCreekED

The tools that people use today to learn, communicate, and share have changed. We are in an ever-more network-connected world that is enriching the human experience. As we connect on the Internet it reminds us of the African-language term Ubuntu that means "human-ness" or "humanity to others" and "the belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity". The Internet continues to grow and the value of the network to mankind increases exponentially as more people connect to the Internet. The Internet has fostered the most amazing discoveries and innovations. This generation has the potential to have greater productivity, more innovations, and make more discoveries than any previous generation. This generation has shown that they are able to use social networking to collaborate. As these young people grow into adults and start to share what they know. We can't wait to see what you come up with as you summon the power of the Internet.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
