1. Over the past five years, how have new ways of communicating affected the way you go about your life?
2. TED talks (www.ted.com) are an ongoing series of short lectures on themes that focus on “ideas worth spreading.” They are intended to pique the curiosity of viewers. If you were given the opportunity to create a TED talk, what would be your topic and very briefly what would you say?
3. If you could create your own new media platform (the next Twitter, for example), what would it do and why?

Please note: If you submit a video, we recommend creating a private channel on YouTube. Instructions for creating the private channel can be found at http://support.google.com/youtube/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=157177
