The Future of Happiness: Getting Unstuck in the Digital Era | Amy Blankson | TEDxBYU
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 тра 2019
- It’s easy to get stuck thinking that the challenges of the digital era are so big that there’s nothing we can do about them. Building on principles of positive psychology, Amy Blankson confronts our “tech-victim” mentality and arms listeners with tools to fight back at the attention economy of likes and social media self-promotion. Playful yet poignant, her presentation challenges us to promote a future of digital well-being by cashing in now on our own ATMs for positive change. Amy Blankson is the author of the bestselling book The Future of Happiness and a co-founder the Digital Wellness Collective, a forward-thinking global group of educators, mental health practitioners, software developers, and champions of tech for good working to enhance human relationships through the intentional use and development of technology. Blankson contributes regularly to Forbes, is a member of the UN Global Happiness Council, and serves as a fellow of the World Innovation Organization. She is the only person to receive a Point of Light from two US presidents. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Technology can only make our lives better if we are able to develop self control.

1.The pain of mind is worst than pain of body
2.Excellence is not being the best, it's doing your best.
3.Failure isn't the opposite of success ,but part of success
4.There is no way to become a perfect person but there are a million ways to become a good one.
5.Any good apology has three parts:
1-I am sorry
2- It is my fault
3-What can I do to make
right?
Most people forget the third part
6.The depth of your struggle determines the height of your success.
7.Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
Thanks for reading
@ABD ALRAHMAN BOUZO Thanks

"We tend to forget that happiness doesn’t come as a result of getting something we don’t have, but rather of recognizing and appreciating what we do have." - Frederick Keonig
I just subscribed to your UA-cam channel. :D
@@emmawatson6582 Wow! Thank you, Emma! Means a lot! :)
“We are not victims of technology. We can control our future but it’s going to take being a little more thoughtful about our approach.”
“Optimism is the belief that our behavior matters.”
Awareness is important, but we can’t stop there or we will feel like victims. We need to know how we can change our behavior for the better - how do we use technology in a healthy way? And we need to magnify the good examples of those who have a healthy relationship with technology.
“We are moving out of the age of information and into the age of imagination.” 65% of the jobs of the future don’t exist yet today.
“Is technology distracting?
Yes.
Is technology consuming?
Yes.
Can technology be addicting?
Yes.
Is it worth it?
Yes.”
“Fear is a powerful motivator, but HOPE is a better one.”
I loved this POWERFUL talk. Really resonates with me. We can all be more mindful about our use of technology so that it is worth it. Tech has changed my life for better and for worse, but becoming aware of my use of technology has helped decrease the downsides of tech use. I loved Amy’s book too. Keep spreading goodness in the world!
Wow! So grateful for this AMAZING Talk!

10:12 Checking the phone at perfect time:)
This is so inspiring. I think context and perspective is the key to happiness. Anyone reading this should check out some of the established articles Amy has written for Forbes.
take a minute to read this
`Soon the season of fruits like mango, jamun, jack fruit Etc will come. My request to all of us is kindly don't throw the seeds, wash them and pack n keep it in in ur car. Whenever you go out and find baren land while travelling, on a highway throw these seeds. They will germinate easily the coming monsoon. If with this act we can contribute even a single tree each to our world, our mission is successful. It wud b wonderful if all of us also join this and contribute back to our next generations world
Muhteşem konuşma için teşekkürler.
What an amazing public speaker! Definitely well said!
Such a great message.Many wise pieces of advice. I loved the part about the ATM worker and how "technology trapped him, but it was a human who helped him get out." 😊 It's good to hear messages like these. Thank you, Amy.
Had to pause the inlet at 5:42 secs.. I am insoribly grateful for what you are teaching, Mrs Blankson🙏📿🙏
its been 20 days since i stopped using all social media except for youtube. in this 20 days i read 5 books and i am on the sixth, i am learning spanish, and i wrote my master thesis that hab been pending for 3 months.
Aun siento el corazón alborotado por esta charla... Gracias gracias gracias!
The power of Artificial Intelligence algorithms are far more powerful than average people, especially if they are not warned & educated about what big tech companies are doing to their minds and what they are doing with their private information! And how it is being used against the best interests of average people 😯
Tuve q ver el video 2 veces porque la primera vez me quede hipnotizado con la belleza de Amy.
Inspiring!
Congrats Amy. What an awesome Ted Talk! Such great stats that came out of the social media fast survey! So happy you could share this important message with the world. I love the new Maslow's Hierarchy - sadly it is true!
Melinda Dransfield thank YOU! You helped bring this vision to life and I so appreciate your help making it possible.
THIS WAS AWESOME
We are creator of our problem, then we are trying to resolve it. Instead using our consciousness for life.🍀
Awesome said thanks for inspiration
👏 Very Inspiring and absolutely 100% truth . Mind can be molded if we set our mind to it. Worth sharing and to listen often to straighten our path and set our priorities. Thank you .
Awesome! Human centered design is the way to go. Thanks for The talk.
The fact is, digital technology is only going to become more advanced and moreso a part of our lives in the future. Rather than trying to avoid it, we need to use it wisely, and not let it control our lives.
Very interesting and educational talk 💪🔥
Thank you for more
A great and inspiring talk. It will be great to use technology as a tool to make the world a better place.
We simply don't know how to use it properly
Interesting, thanks!
Very well centered and not radical way to perceive the effects technology has on us, if I were to give a suggestion, I would say: listen to the song "Cyber Stockholm Syndrome" by Rina Sawayama, it really matches the theme of this video
Hello everyone
I'm nodding my head in agreement the whole speech, watching on my phone. Oh, the irony.
This is so inspiring. I am also struck in the social media . I dont upload anything on it but i spent too much time on it . I use twitter more beacuse it provide current information. but anything in acess is a poison. So we need to be mindfulness rather use it whole day.
Loved it!
Like a future shock type thing...Take back our power wow the lady brings up a great point.....
really inspirational!
“We are moving out of the age of information, into the age of imagination”: this is so true!! Because imagination cannot be automated. Imagination writes programs. Imagination designs and invents. Imagination Manages.
Im unplugging back to my life that i had before before this addiction started...
Thanks 😍
I'd love to dig into the stats for those studies. Any sources anywhere?
Amazing
I have been thinking about quitting social media for a while but the only thing that holds be back is that I think that I will be missing out on a lot. Anyone who has done it and can change my thought?
Firstly, use it for one hour
Then 55 minutes.
Then 50 minutes
Then 45 minutes
Then 40 minutes
Then 35 minutes
Then 30 minutes
Then 25 minutes
Then 20 minutes
Then 15 minutes
Then 10 minutes
There is no problem about using social media for 10 minutes.
I simply stopped using it. One of the best decisions I could have made for myself.
I'm checking social media once or twice every day. I'd rather talk to friends on the phone than sending messages. I do not expose my private life at all on social media, but I participate randomly in discussion groups about things things that are of special interest to me, not otherwise. I do not find it hard to leave it for days or weeks. This way I feel that I am in control of the technology and not the other way around.
I will recommend you to see video by Jay Shetty on FOMO.
It's been 3 months I have left social media after 12 years. Recently, I logged in again on Instagram and I go through my posts which were great but I knew the intention and energy I put on them..it was not worth it. I simply deleted my account. Because everyone was posting same old stuff.
I am no more addicted to it. Therefore I don't feel missing out anything.
@@imaginaryfriend1891 Thanks for your answer! Ill defenitly check out the video
It was so damn cool, thank youu
Ok, this is epic
"Hello there!"
General Kenobi!
What is money?
It is merely an accepted means of exchanging value.
No currency is truly money.
Really very nice👌👍
What insightful content! It reminds me of a book I read that provided life-altering wisdom. "A Life Unplugged: Reclaiming Reality in a Digital Age" by Theodore Blaze
The way people walk in a room and ask for the Wifi, I'm not surprised it made that list.
Please upload videos with English subtitle.
If I was younger I'd join an AMISH community or similar! Screw this "social media" world! Everyone with their heads bent down like "mules" over their cell phones texting, bumping into others, not joining family discussions/gatherings, phones ringing in restaurants, etc. so annoying.
Dubai represent!
*best ever ted talk on digital minimalism*
⭐Yesterday is not ours to recover,
But
Tomorrow is ours to win or lose.⭐
Don't focus on people's talk 👥
Only focus on your goal 🏆
Everything is easy 🎁🏆
When you believe in yourself
😊🎁😊🎁😊🎁😊🎁😊🎁
Step One: Listen to OK Computer by Radiohead
Step Two: Try not to cry
Step Three: Cry a lot
Happiness or unhappiness are choices. Choose as if your life depends on it.
Absolutely correct!
I joined up with a whole lot of things, 16 years later I found I didn't need Facebook, linked in or Ancestry, now I have more spare time and less scammers
One of the most powerful videos on Ted
Thank u 👌🙏
It would be a lot easier if kids get educated about using technology for their good in schools and they must know the pros and cons of anything and everything! It might help them in future..
It's not the future.. it's literally the present
It's said that man has infinite appetite for distraction, and technology has promulgated and consolidated their appetite. Victimisation by technology is the fastest growing phenomenon .... nice delineation of the "tech victim" and it's prospects ...!!
👏👏👏
True ,email is health..occupied all our time.

Thanks, you saved me some cool time, cheers
10:12 *names advantages of media fast*
10:13 *woman in the audience is on her phone*
She’s more than a little attractive 🙃🙃🙃

AI = Intelligence without moral = We are doomed
Take advantage of technology, don't be used by it.
Like anyone from kerala
Hey what's up more videos keep it up beautiful how are you u good
es una lástima que ted solo promueva una pequeña parte del conocimiento humano y estoy seguro que ellos saben que no promueven el conocimiento que deberían
The future of happiness... A living wage, Medicare-for-all, social democracy.
We are ALREADY living in LBJ's "Great Society" of welfare programs. What more can you ask for?
@@forreal245 um a living wage? Medicare-for-all? Did you read nothing?
10:13 This lady and that Ted talk. What an irony
Like anyone from nepal.

😁
Why did I watch this shallow video? Of you actually want to learn, type Noam Chomsky.
Boring.
Nope. Unhappy atheists are on your own.
Meehhhh...... Title is missleading! Turned out to be a patronizing, self-indulgent, "make me feel good" kind of lame mumbo jumbo "pep talk".......
The speaker's opinion; not fact! 👎👎
It's procrastination not digital world get real lady!!!
