Stop STALKING and start TALKING π Very important message!π

Heβs really a good speaker. His argument is clear, manner is good, but the most empressive part is his easygoing speaking. It makes us listeners to feel him as a REAL talanted speaker! He surely got this debate
-
"Social Media is giving massive followings who are popular rather than people who are professional" Damn I felt that.
-
his delivery of ideas and arguments of social media was nice, he didn't jump into it's corruption of social interaction, he explained what social media is, and then he began to say his argument.
-
This is the best first speaker The Union has had in a long time. I hope this is the begining of a trend.
-
I find it so attractive that he is intelligent and wearing a suit. Just my type.
-
Not sure if this is a debate, everything the speaker said was fact.
-
Now this is a conversation worth having. Social media has exposed the true number of narcissistic and downright mean people there are out there, and that is not even mentioning the illegal deta collection and sale of by companies. It has grown into something that is extremely harmful mentally to people, I notice myself how I would laugh if someone liked a comment and so I stopped using it
-
Real human connections are being replaced by virtual relationships. The truth is for most part, we are spending huge proportion of our lives living in a digital universe
-
What a fantastic speech that truly highlights the incessant issues that social media has on societal structure. Bravo!
-
"You can learn more by looking someone in the eye, then you can from their social media profile" ππππππ

I listen to this stuff like podcasts during my workouts.....good stuff.

As a professional Doctorate student, social media has been very influential both in the professional and personal life, because people follows our post than knowing what's the truth. I love this video so much. Thank you so much Sir Jack Symonds for your propositions.

if emma watson was a man

This man might just be the best first speaker they have had
-
Ended with 'propose' ...man propose to me so wittingly and wisefully talking against Instagram on my behalf at the Oxford union...this is my soul mate. I made my thesis about this yet more specifically about activism in social media.
-
That was a very passionate and articulate speech, wow
-
Showed respect, Had spoken on facts rather than dwelling on this and that's. Had done his homework quite well. Talked with full consciousness and confidence. He said damn well!.
