Did you know that 85% of the professions in 2035 had not been invented yet. Hi, my name is Eduardo and today I'm here to talk about something really exciting. To be honest, I'm little scared about of let's imagine a world that your main career goal is to be a data analysis or artificial intelligent developer or creator of solutions to fight climate change with new technology.I know it sounds radical but it's already happening yet. The world is changed faster and faster with technology and social media. But ...

Good morning. I am Ana Ashworth and today I have one simple goal to leave you all with a question that you'll be thinking about long after this speech is over. So let's begin.Yesterday generations took revolutions took generations but today they begin with a single tweet. The pace of change is breathtaking and unstoppable.

You wake up tomorrow morning and your phone greets you even before you open your eyes. Good morning, it says. I've already done your homework, sent all your emails, made a meal plan, and by the way, I've also scheduled a breakup with your best friend as she was not good for your mental health.Sounds crazy, right. But this is the kind of world people imagine when they talk about AI machines running every part of our lives. But the big question is will we grow with AI or will we get left behind.Hello everyone ...
Becoming in an Age of Change | Aarnav Mishra | TEDxYouth@DPSD
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-18 16:33
friends, leaders, learners, and survivors. Look around us. This is not the world our parents lived in. This is not the world we were promised.We live in an era of relentless, unforgiving change. The ground beneath us is shifting and the rules are rewritten overnight. And in the whirlwinds of uncertainty, most of us feel frozen, trapped.We cling to what was, to what was comfortable, to a version of ourselves that's no longer sustainable. Friends, I want to be honest with all of you. For a long time, I lived ...
The code we run on | Rob den Otter | TEDxHWZ
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-17 17:10
When I was about 9 years old, I had my first experience running code, not on a computer, but in my grandparents' kitchen. I was standing next to my uncle who was reading out DOSs commands. Symbol after symbol, word after word, line after line, I took notes.We were trying to build a boot disc to run one of these popular jump and run games. For those of you who have never seen a boot disc, imagine the great great great grandfather of a USB stick that would tell your computer how to start. Well, needless to sa ...
Why Our Potential Doesn’t Stop on Earth | Riyam Ojaimi | TEDxJönköping University
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-16 17:48
At different times in our lives, we're all bound to reach a stage that feels like the edge of our given capacity. When everything we once knew stops working the way it used to, and we're forced to confront who we've become at that limit. And we do have an instinct to adapt.It's not just part of what makes us human. It's also how we survive change in our environment. It's how we evolve through it and most importantly despite it.But what happens when the environment itself changes. And what does adaptation lo ...
The fractal shape of evolution and adaptation | Vishwajeet Ranade | TEDxImperialCollege
TEDx Talks· 2025-12-16 16:20
Core Concept: Fractal Pattern of Evolution - The central argument is that human evolution follows a fractal pattern, specifically resembling a Sierpinski triangle, characterized by repetitive cycles of collective consciousness, individualism, and discovery [18][19] - This pattern suggests that adaptation and evolution are continuous, self-repeating processes [20] Key Components of Evolution - Shared social bonds are identified as a crucial vertex in the "triangle of evolution," emphasizing the importance of receiving support and care from the community [8] - Understanding individual roots forms another vertex, highlighting the significance of self-awareness and personal identity [9] - A steady pool of discovery acts as the third vertex, driving progress and innovation by encouraging exploration beyond existing knowledge [9] Historical Context - Human history is presented as a series of ages (Stone Age, Bronze Age, Medieval Age, Age of Industrialization) each marked by advancements resulting from discovery and adaptation [13][14][16] - The narrative highlights how tools, technologies, and social structures have evolved through these ages, reflecting the interplay between collective needs and individual innovation [13][14][15][16] The Role of Art - Art is identified as a constant thread throughout human history, connecting different ages and serving as a form of expression and reconnection with oneself [21][22] - The document suggests that art holds answers and insights, emphasizing its importance in personal and collective evolution [31] Personal Template for Evolution - The speaker shares a personal template for evolution, structured as a triangle with vertices representing personal elements (lifestyle, health), social elements (family, networks), and tools for evolution (academics, art, travel) [29] - Writing is positioned at the center of this template as a means of expression and problem-solving [30] Business Application: EdTech Transition - The speaker recounts a transition from a tech media agency to an EdTech company focused on blockchain education, reaching over 300,000 people globally [23][26] - This transition involved upskilling, academic research, curriculum development, and partnerships with institutions like NAS Academy and Stanford University, including scholarships worth $400,000 for women in tech [25][26]

Climate Change Impact & Adaptation - Severe weather events are increasing, with 2024 being the hottest year on record and the National Weather Service issuing 3,000 flash flood warnings by mid-July [6] - Traditional engineering practices assuming stable past conditions are no longer valid due to climate change [10][11] - Adaptation to climate change is imperative, with a shift needed from shallow adaptation (e g, sandbags) to transformative adaptation [11][12][13] Transformative Adaptation Strategies - Transformative adaptation involves creating different physical spaces that collect floodwaters while providing habitat and open space [13] - Resilient Mystic is a plan that uses passive recreation areas for floodwater storage, green stormwater infrastructure, and elevated critical infrastructure [16][17] - Community involvement is crucial in developing resilience plans, shifting from expert-driven solutions to collaborative approaches [18][19] Economic & Policy Implications - Investing in resilience yields a resilience dividend, with multiple cumulative benefits accruing to communities for every dollar invested [20] - Resilience and adaptation require political will, funding, and policy, emphasizing the importance of electing leaders who understand the benefits of resilience [22][23] - Sharing experiences with climate change and promoting transformative adaptation can foster collaboration for a more resilient future [24]
