Wael Ghonim Ted Talk

             In this post I will be talking to you about the 5 Challenges that Wael Ghonim talked about and 4 suggestions Wael Ghonim talked about to liberate the Internet. The First Challenge is that we cant tell if a rumor is real or if it is not and we believe it this means that if someone say a rumor we will believe it without any facts. Second Challenge is that we can communicate with people who agree with you and block, mute, and unfollow someone who dose not agree with us this means that we will only listen to one side of something not any other side.The Third Challenge is that a simple online Discussion can quickly make someone mad and cause a angry mod this means that a simple talk can make us mad. The Fourth Challenge is that it is hard to change something that you already said online this means what ever you but online may never be erased. The Last Challenge is that even if they seem deep we cant have deep conversations online this means that we could never have a deep conversation online. Wael Ghonim said that "Say you want to say something that is not based on a fact, pick a fight, or ignore someone you don't like. These are all natural human impulses,but because of technology, acting on these impulses is only one click away." This shows that because of the internet we can cause all of these with one click.         

                This part will talk about 2 of Wael Ghonim suggestions to liberate the Internet. The first one is that we should make effective crowd sourcing mechanisms to check widely spread information. Wael Ghonim said"crowd sourcing mechanisms, to fact check widely spread online information, and reward people who take part in it." This shows that he wants to make something that checks it a fact online is real or if it is not. The second suggestions is that we should make a social media platform were there are different discussion about very divisive issues. Wael Ghonim said that "a new media platform for conversations.""that promote mutual understanding and hopefully change minds." This shows that he want to create a site were people could talk about today issues. This is what Wael Ghonim talked about and I hope you understand what he was talking about.
