Is the proliferation of social media in our lives causing us to disconnect on a personal level? Does collecting likes and friends replace human interaction in today's world? Christine shares her experiences as a social media activist and gives us insight into where she feels communication is going. 

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)
