- Chris Messina spent 15 years immersed in the culture and tech companies of Silicon Valley. Among other popular creations, his best known contribution to social media is the ubiquitous hashtag. In this talk, Messina reflects on the unprecedented adoption of social technology and ponders a future similarly transformed by artificial intelligence. Drawing in his observations about the impact of the hashtag, he suggests that we can promote long-term, positive cultural change not by focusing so much on technology, but on the mental fitness and emotional wellness of the people making technology. Then, as they design human-friendly features into their technology products and those products become massively adopted, their users may become better connected to themselves and to others. "Chris Messina has spent over 15 years living on the edge of social technology. He has designed products and experiences for Google and Uber, founded startups, and changed the world by giving away many of his creations, including the hashtag. His skillset is broad, anchored in product and user experience design. He lead developer experience at Uber and co-founded Molly (YC W’18), a conversational social AI.
Chris has created movements online and off, and acted as catalyst for change in large and small organizations. In 2004, he helped organize the grassroots movement that propelled Mozilla Firefox to its first 100 million downloads. In 2005, he co-organized the first BarCamp and then popularized the unconference event model to over 350 cities around the world. In 2006, he opened the first coworking spaces in the world, giving rise to a global movement. Then in 2007, he championed the idea of the hashtag, eventually changing social media forever and galvanizing popular social revolutions.
He has spoken at conferences like TEDx, SXSW, Google I/O, and Microsoft’s Future Decoded, and is frequently quoted in media outlets like The New York Times, Business Week, LA Times, Washington Post, and Wired." This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Using technology to advance human evolution and happiness is the key... as opposed to furthering consumerism and immediate gratification.
Refreshing approach to humanizing technology in a system that currently desensitizes social compassion. We are all culpable in the general lack of empathy for our fellow beings.
"Emotional Intelligence" is an Important Factor in The change of Future Social Media Interactions.
In other words...
BE the change you want to see in the world!!!
Social media, far from connecting people, seems to be driving wedges between groups in society, entrenching ideas that lack validity and polarising society. We need to learn that all ideas are not equal and that encouraging the expression of ideas that have no basis in fact, do nothing to advance humanity.
Well said.
This was an excellent introduction to the idea of getting social media to become part of an edifying and enriching social culture, and I am very glad that I watched it.
Our brains are shrinking as our technology grows and our humanity will fade into something else.
Our brains were generally much larger 20,000 years ago than they are now.
never merge
Twitter and Free speech don't go hand to hand brother.
Young genius inventors become wise as they grow older and they realise what they did not know when they were youthful.
Too bad that their decision when young have permanently reshaped, impacted, even limited modern society.
And since learning to what extent social media companies go to retain the user's attention indefinitely I am somewhat skeptical about the accuracy of this man's description of how social media works.
Social media is not interested in the quality of your interaction with your fellow humans, they actually want to be the focus of your continued attention so that they can part you from your money.
Don't engage with them, lead a richer life.
I was totally on board untill he mentioned the me too movement as something as positive as the Arab Spring
We are already cyborg.. our phone is an extension of us and we cannot live without it!
Yes we can, it is just a tool that ease communication, what you are saying would be comparable to "we are cyborg because we eat with a fork and cannot do so without" yes most of the time you use a fork but it does not make it necessary to eat.
@@grandpretredesalpagas4665 that's true, my perspecrive wss an exageration, but for some pepole is rellay difficult live without it
You stole that from Elon
We should be wary of the false comforts provided by technology.
Technology overall has made humans generally weaker in all ways except the transfer of knowledge and ideas.
tech is making everyone dumber
Brilliant. Thank you.
Spend more time in nature
Thank you.
You become like what you entertain.
Thank you
*Freedom is the power to say no!... this becomes reality with the Freedom Dividend :)... After watching this, please TH-cam... Freedom Dividend Playlist*
I say NO to government giveaways.
It is *not* a giveaway. We and more so all of our ancestors collectively have created a world where robotics are taking away the need for humans to work for their income. That you and some few other propose we allow all that work and progress to go straight into the pockets of *only those who are already extremely wealthy* is morally wrong and will promote civil unrest far worse than what we have at present...
And what we have at present is already a ticking time bomb. Without the rest of us, the wealthy would not even exist. Therefore they do in *fact* owe us a rather huge cut of what they deem as _only their wealth._ Without much more than just UBI, we will face a far more horrendous future than we would otherwise. The world is heading into no middle class, a few wealthy and more than 90% living in poverty across the world.
Did you realize that for many decades America alone purposefully allows grain to rot to keep the price of bread high? Well apparently it's enough grain to feed the entire world, but they won't even consider changing this into something that could benefit the world as whole.
Just imagine how much less war and poverty there would be in the world. Just imagine what it would be like if people in third world countries weren't starving so badly that they didn't all flock to the countries that have jobs, education and something for their children to eat. How instead of trying to just survive, they could work towards improving their countries of origin. Places that the great majority of them find heart breaking to leave. Just imagine if your country suddenly became impoverished... would you then be happy to leave if forever to go to another country where some would blame you for all their problems and weaknesses. And all just for wanting a better life.
@@aylbdrmadison1051 well stated!
The best step toward making human advanced is to make technology to save our planet and home earth. 🙂🙂🙂
Click life if you agree.
Edit: I have asked for likes not for on top of comments but so that all people may read and get some inspiration and reduce plastic and other things in life.
@@toughluck8012 agreed, needed to be said
The technology already exists... it's called Regenerative (agriculture, forestry, ranching, etc.) Soil destruction is responsible for 50% of greenhouse gases. Regenerating will eliminate that 50% and sequester what we are emitting from fossil fuels. We still need to transition away from carbon based fuels, but that won't be enough if we don't restore our soils and ocean. Check out Kiss the Ground
@@Metaphysics-for-life so true
@@Metaphysics-for-life technology have but until it is followed, it is of no use
Lmao the edit and somehow my original post is missing 🤔🤔🤔
Shows a load of maturity with the mentality "if I disagree with you, I silence you by censoring what you have to say". What a way to "win" an argument 🙄🙄🙄 straight petty smh can't even have a proper discussion
I agree with you
The inspiration is choking me
Crazy how apt that money is as an example. It's almost like being unable to leave your room (cage/finances) and only having food and a toy to soothe yourself isn't healthy.
It's really bizarre that he chose to replace the food dispensing machine with the phone instead of the toy
The speaker is almost whispering.. Wheeeeew!
Never looked like it this way! 🤔😀😂👍🏻
But to learn this I had to look at my phone. 😳
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
😂🤣😂😆🤘
How are we supposed to spend less time on our phones when work leaves us with too little time, energy, and money to do anything else?
"need to be culturally aligned with all these white people"
Okay. So this IS Technochauvanism, because Mr. Messina is looking for a technological answer to a social conundrum.

So now we have to have big tech to program our emotions also. Not just censur opinions they don't like.
I don’t know what it is but everyone in the tech and business community misinterprets the term “woke”. It’s a term to describe someone who’s enlightened, or spiritually woke and aware of the truth. Being aware of social issues and what not is a bi product of being woke. Originally it’s a term for people who have opened their third eye.
Humans choose. Technology does not. Writing on paper is my catharsis..
That is wonderful to hear. People like yourself give me more hope for us all.
Everyone needs a connection to the natural world to stay healthy. Each time we interact more closely with it naturally brings us closer to it, and so to our own well being and stability as well.
@@aylbdrmadison1051 - Kind of you to say. Ellen has the right idea. I spent forty five years in technology and dismay at those who elevate it above humankind.
Great message but just not audible on the speaker! 😑
It's hard to listen.. He is like speaking to a friend in a coffee shop.
Nice, but I really missed acknowledging diversity as a crucial aspect for solving social issues. White rich people can be as concern as possible (as they should), but wokeness does not equate to experience. And it is a huge problem people from same backgrounds are the majority in tech.
You're right, and it's a useful point. Thanks for raising that!
Right 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯........
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻.......
This man contributed to creation of Google+ to hate it down after he left.
Only a moron believes that any huge corporation is free from corruption.
Thats weird I just saw patriot act about social media regulation where they say it wss never about free speech... I'll link
So... wokeness, safe spaces, progressivism and tech that not only listens in on my conversations, but intervenes and tells me how to communicate? And ending with the idea that we all have to be culturally aligned? I hope I'm not misunderstanding this too much, but I really, really don't think this is the way forward.

There are a lot of new technology will be release in near future & today's Tech giant company will grab them 😂😂😂
When I saw the me too sign and it was in front of the ladies face I was like “WHO too though, lady?!”
5:36 This explains the increase in mass shootings. Guns aren't the problem.
For me it´s sad to see an agult using the word wokeness
9:53 this is the most useless feature and it will change absolutely nothing. People that are going to invest their time into actions and behaviors such as the one's the feature is trying to prevent, don't have the common sense, maturity or social/emotional intelligence for reflective/critical thinking.
It's true they don't. But if you think allowing them to run rampant and cause whatever harm they see fit is better than imposing some method to prevent them is a good thing, I cannot agree with you there. Rules and laws are necessary in a society that is not at least close 100% responsible for itself. Generally humans are nowhere near that responsible. So until that time we need laws and rules, and to learn to balance them for the good of the whole.
@@aylbdrmadison1051 I obviously don't, so don't say that i do. I'm saying that feature is pointless and that's it. It seems to me that you made an assumption and ran with it to try to make a point but it was built on a foundation of invalidity
I seriously hate just how much virtue signaling had been spoken in this "talk"
Basically he's like "how can we build projects that censor hate and hurt feelings"
Life is tough man, nothing will change that
You have a serious problem with virtue apparently. Yea, life is tough, and that's why we have hospitals and schools and all sorts of things that *you* benefit from, and have allowed *you to become so lazy you actually complain about virtue.* What a waste virtue has been on you. My suggestion: become responsible (that's a virtue btw).
@@aylbdrmadison1051-and yet again-
*"Another one part of the problem"*

Of better lobotomy... 😒
Thank you
