Doctor Mona Magdy, associate professor at the faculty of Mass communication, Cairo university dissects some of the effects of social media and questions why we end up blaming social media for rendering ourselves and our children as lonely fighters unable to function outside the virtual worlds located behind our screens. Why is it that when the tickets to those worlds are free, we as a whole end up being the service?
 Dr. Mona Magdy, an associate professor at the faculty of mass communication Cairo University, has been teaching public opinion, methods of Communication research along with other subjects related to communication.

She is very innovative when it comes to her teaching methods. As a facilitator, her relationship with her students is one that is interdependent. She creates an environment for students where they can always feel engaged and indulged in the ongoing discussions, prompting them towards self-discovery rather than just lecturing facts. She taught in Germany for several years, made a partnership with several NGOs to offer internships to students at the faculty. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
