Put social back in social media | Christian Heilmann | TEDxLinz

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Christian Heilmann brings into attention a simple, vital and yet ignored ideea: dont't look up, don't look down...look around, look inside and outside and be you and foremost be creative in all forms and sizes. Make sure that your online version is a true reflection of your offline version and not a projection of what you could be if there weren't so many life impediments to overcome. Align them and showcase them through a variety of feelings and experiences from being silly to being surprising, so that one day you can find yourself saying: Look what I have done!

About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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)
