Okay! That’s all for now - thanks so much for participating in our first ever Twitter Chat. It was excellent to exchange ideas #TEDxTokyo

[Interfaith Youth Act @IntrfthYouthAct]

People w/ out tech can't join in, RT @TEDxTokyo: The internet is a powerful connector How is it inclusive/exclusive. #TEDxTokyo

[Interfaith Youth Act @IntrfthYouthAct]

@zackwiener agree! using online connections to leverage issues of social justice is one step in connecting more #tedxtokyo

[Zack Wiener @zackwiener]

@TEDxTokyo A: By REACHING OUT. We need more voices (of the homeless, veterans, mentally ill, etc.) represented in our lives. #tedxtokyo

[Interfaith Youth Act @IntrfthYouthAct]

A4: Through events like #TedxTokyo, having a mix of both in person & online platforms to share ideas #tedxtokyo

[Interfaith Youth Act @IntrfthYouthAct]

RT @TEDxTokyo: Q: How might we connect those that feel unconnected? - How can we build a more connected future? #TEDxTokyo

[Interfaith Youth Act @IntrfthYouthAct]

RT @antonbaylon: A1: Internet & social media (bbs, irc, IM) not new in 2004. Smartphones + 3G/Wifi = more real-time connectivity #TEDxTokyo

[TEDxTokyo @TEDxTokyo]

Okay, we’ll be moving on to the next Q:

Why do you feel disconnected? How can we change this?

#TEDxTokyo

[TEDxTokyo @TEDxTokyo]

@zachweiner @BBADWoman - social networks are powerful but how we seen other modern models to connect - offline perhaps?

#TEDxTokyo

[Joseph Tame @tamegoeswild]

@BBADWoman I think it depends on the individual. For some who are antisocial/shy by nature it could be a blessing, empowering. #TEDxTokyo

[Joseph Tame @tamegoeswild]

#TEDxTokyo The ease with which we can connect online means less of an emotional need to connect offline, and thus less effort to do so

[Zack Wiener @zackwiener]

A: One big problem: we're connected in our own networks, but not outside of the people we already know. FB has helped, of course. #tedxtokyo

[TEDxTokyo @TEDxTokyo]

We’ll be asking questions beginning with a “Q” and we ask you to begin with an “A” before writing your response. #TEDxTokyo

[TEDxTokyo @TEDxTokyo]

Hello and welcome, everyone! In our first ever chat, we’ll be discussing the topic of “connection”
