Ted Talk Summary
In Sara DeWitt’s Ted Talk, “3 Fears About Screen Time for Kids and Why They Are Not True,” she talks about how parents and we, as a society, react when a young child has a technological device. The fears she brings up are that screens are passive, playing games is a waste of time, it distracts children from their education and screens are isolating parents from children. Overall, the Ted Talk was not as effective because it didn’t say what age group it was addressing in the title. Also, as technology is advancing every day, people are continuously and usually positively adapting to it. Therefore, so some of the fears are irrelevant.
SCREENS ARE PASSIVE. DeWitt said that 40% of Americans check their phone every morning within 5 minutes of waking

    Summary Of Mark Bittman's Tedtalk

    I found Mark Bittman's Tedtalk, What's wrong with what we eat talk to be somewhat educational, but also misleading at the same time especially when it came to agriculture. It is true that humans are over eating especially when it comes to meat, but that is because we're no longer cavemen who need to go out and hunt for our meals but instead, we can go to the grocery store or a restaurant to get anything we desire. Thus I believe that added convince is what is adding to the obesity epidemic, not the agriculture industry. One thing that I felt was semi-true was that yes agriculture production is the second most polluter in the US, but only about 2% of the United States population are farmers, and that 2% strongly cares about the environment especially…

    The First Ted Talk Analysis

    The first Ted Talk was about ben dunlap and his many Hungarian mentors. He mostly focused on Mr. Sandor Teszler and is the current president of Wofford College. His uncle Henry was living under a death threat from the Ku Klux Klan. His uncle did a very Hungarian act by moving his family to Massachusetts so that he could face the Ku Klan Klan alone in South Carolina. Thinking about it, I pretty sure I would do the same thing being in his situation. Hungarians have their own equivalent of the Ku Klux Klan which I found disturbing. Dunlap states that, “Sandor Teszler somewhat resembles Mahatma Gandhi, minus the loincloth and plus orthopedic boots.” He was teased for having two club feet.…

    Summary Of Ted Talk By Aaron Huey

    To relate to a topic or issue that occurred more than 150 years ago is a challenge, to say the least. The battle between what is legal and what is morally and ethically correct, is an age-old debate that dates back centuries ago. In this speech, there is clear evidence that there was at least one or more United States laws or treaties broken. In this TED Talk presented by author Aaron Huey, a passionate cultural writer and photographer, there is discussion about the Lakota Indian Tribe. Huey goes on to break down a timeline of the tribe’s journey, rise to power, and subsequent demise.…

    Sheryl Sandburg's Ted Talk

    I watched Sheryl Sandburg’s Ted talk and read this article. After watching the Ted talk I thought she brought up a lot of interesting facts and I did not think she left anything out. After reading the article though I changed my mind. Even though Sandburg did have good arguments I felt as though she left out entire groups of women. Not everyone has the opportunity to even go to school in some developing countries because they are female. How can she say women need to try harder if some never get the opportunity to try in the first place? Her Ted talk was a good start at motivating women who already have these opportunities but her talk would be hopeless for a woman who never had basic schooling. I liked how she brought up how most females who…

    Essay On Ted Talk

    John Coyle the speaker of my Ted Talk talked about strengths and weaknesses. Coyle encouraged his audience to focus more on their strengths rather that their weaknesses. Coyle believed that if a person worked too long to improve their weaknesses, then it is obvious that they can’t improve those weaknesses, and should move on to focusing on their strengths. Therefore, the best thing to do is to move on to building up their strengths, because they can surely improve their strengths. According to the author of the book The Other Wes Moore, Wes never took the time to focus on his weaknesses in school. Wes focused on what he thought as an easy way to make money by selling drugs. He had a strength to manage,…

    Ted Talk

    In the Ted Talk video “The Surprising Science of Happiness”, Dan Gilbert discusses the effects of how happiness works in regards to certain situations, such as in times of success and loss. In his discussion of happiness, he states that people not only have a biological immune system, but also a “psychological immune system” in which people can “synthesize happiness” (CITATION). To break these concepts down, the immune system functions to protect the body against diseases that can result in death. Just like the immune system, the psychological immune system works similarly in which the brain will work to fight off the unhappiness and stresses in a person’s life. Once the psychological immune systems starts to function, people will try to synthesize…

    The Negative Influence Of Technology On Children

    The new generation of kids are being affected by technology enormously throughout the growth of technology. Ruth states in her article that a study done by the Kaiser Family Foundation found that children from the age of eight to eighteen are spending more than seven and a half hours a day on technology (Ruth 1). Which affects the children because it cause them to do less physical activity. She also states “The danger with our technology-obsessed kids, Greenfield warns, is that they are no longer accustomed to the full range of mess and meaningful human interaction” (Ruth 2). Kids no longer know how to interact with one another, because they are stuck on technology. Ruth mention in her article how social technology is molding children's brain…

    Technology Affecting Young Children's Ability To Play

    When thinking of technology, many words spring to mind: innovative, fun, futuristic, essential. These positive words, however, do not encompass the whole of the issue of technology in the lives of young children. Technology, such as tablets, computers, smartphones, television, etc., has become so essential in life that it has been forgotten how to live without it, and it is this attitude that can be pushed onto the next generation of children. As soon as young children are able to grasp items, they are given a tablet, or put in front of a screen, instead of playing traditionally, with plush toys, imaginary play, or outside, in a sandpit, playing…
