TED Archive | How technology has changed the way we connect | Tor Myhren @TEDTalks | Uploaded January 2018 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Technology’s impact on the way we communicate is undeniable, but the motivation to connect is a constant and unchanging. The VP of marketing communications at Apple, Tor Myhren, shares a very personal story of how he lost his virginity in his teenage years in 1986 alongside a fictional narrative of what it would have been like if it happened in 2012. What did texting and social media change about such pivotal human experiences?

NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archive because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more viewpoints. Studies show that aggressive and hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; unfortunately, YouTube's comment moderation tools are simply not up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We'd love to see this change, YouTube.) So for now, if you'd like to comment on this talk, please use Facebook, Twitter or G+ to discuss with your networks.
