our world order is on a collision course w/ big tech thanks to TED Talks for inviting me to speak on what that means for every person on this planet i don't have all the answers, but i hope to be asking (& inspire you to ask) the right questions:

(very pleased i can now finally say ‘welcome to my ted talk’ when i’m on my soap box…)

we all know how much military support nato countries have provided ukraine since putin’s invasion in february 2022 but some of the most important contributions aren’t from nation states. they’re from… tech companies

without them, ukraine wouldn’t be able to defend itself from cyberattacks or even give leaders the ability to speak w/ soldiers on the frontlines without them, ukraine would’ve been offline within weeks and without them…zelensky may not have made it

@TEDTalks Isn’t Ted Talks part of Big Tech?… oh never mind.

@TEDTalks TED talk itself is so cringe and dated .

@profgalloway @TEDTalks A head on collision with technology, but at the last second we’re T-boned by authoritarianism. And then technology picks through the wreckage.

@TEDTalks Well excellent done Ian! thoroughly enjoyed that - even though there was no positive message in the end- I agree we need to know

@TEDTalks Thank you Ian and Ted for the opportunity to bring so much clarity and truth to your audience. You can say it louder but not more clear ... who is going to listen ??? who is going to do something ??? Are we "enough" to make a change and stop the crazyness ???

@EldeesMyth @TEDTalks Unequivocally. Sadly, too many people have become complacent.

@TEDTalks who owns information?
