Teds speech put many different ideas into my head, some contradicting each other. 

He spoke on first on technology, and how sometimes it seems that only negative things come from it, how there is always some out there who is there to argue and make things much more difficult.

Later on in his speech he talked about github, a website in which some Senators a state allow people to see the bills that they sponsor and so it gave people a chance to see what their leaders were up to. 

I think that technology can be a great thing, or it can lead to complete destruction. Have you ever heard the saying, 'Beauty is in the eye of the beholder'? Well this speech helped me understand that quote much more than I ever did before. It means that something can be great in the eyes of person looking at it. I think that technology definitely falls under this quote because it could really benefit every one, but only if the user decides to use it in that way.

Certain programs could really improve our country, like a website in which people could actually make the laws that we, the people, have to follow. It could make our government an actual democracy, because people would be able to submit whatever they feel fit, and no one would take that right away from them. 

With technological advances being made, it opens up many different doors for people and for groups of people. 

This could be the start of people really working together and taking charge of our government like they should, and changing the way our country, or bigger yet - our world - works. People would finally be able to stand together and decide what laws would be best for everyone. And not just specific people, the great thing about this program would be that anyone would have a say. 

This doesn't mean that any idea for a law thrown out there would become official, but it when good ideas for laws were placed out, they could have an actual shot for becoming official. 

Technology can help people to work together and take charge because they don't all have to be in the saemme place, so this way more people from more place can work together and really take charge of an issue in which they are bothered by. Working together like this can totally change our world, think with out team work we probably wouldn't have all the great things that we have today in our world.

Taking charge is a huge process in reaching success, because that is where it all starts and so it is an important step to be taken. When taking charge, the more people the merrier, because it spreads the weight of the task evenly and it can make it much easier for people to handle.

I think that technology and social medias are really benfitting the idea of working together and taking charge because it has gave more oppurtunities to people who might not have had them before.

With technology and the internet and social medias and everything else that comes with technology could, and will be, very beneficial for our country and making it the place that it is supposed to be.

Hi Sophie,

I like the critical thinking happening here and I'd like to see you relate it to your BQ.
