Ted Talk: Tech Task #8

For Tech Task # 8, we had to watch a TED video and discuss it in class. I discussed another one in class but forgot to post it so I am going to talk about another one! I found one called "David Griffin: Photography connects us with the world". The video talked about how great photos can connect everyone around the world. I thought it was very interesting how David spoke of how photography can capture one's emotions and "Flash Bulb Memories" which are vivid memories a person has when experiencing something significant. He talked about how to tell a story through a photo. I also really liked how the photos he showed told a "story" about a curious Leopard Seal that tried to feed live penguins to the photographer (true story!). I really enjoyed this video and I recommend that everyone should watch it!



We were also asked to reflect on another classmates recommended video. I chose to do a reflection on Jamias Cascio: Tools for Building a Better World that was recommened by Erika.
This video talked about the changes we can make within the world to "fix the world". He talked about "Earth Witness" which is a proposal that will show people what they are doing wrong and what they can do better in order to save our world. He says that we can't wait for someone or something to come and save us, we need to take action ourselves. Here is the video!
