I am passionate about progress in my society. I really believe that my generation with the help of technology tools will be able to create a positive change for all the world.

Internet is the most important invention of mankind history. Internet has changed everything. And the best thing of internet is that it has approached the world more than ever. Nowadays it doesn't matter if you are born in a first world or a third world country if you have access to internet because you are equally near to tons of information. Also, internet has changed the way wealth is made because now great ideas can be completed with less resources. New generations have an excellent tool to change how people interact, learn, teach, collaborate and make things. With internet as our tool, and with a strong citizen participation we will be the generation with the best citizens, governors, inventions and general progress.

I listened to my first TED talk around 2010 over the internet. Since my first TED talk I saved that page as one of my favorites and I have listened to many talks since then. I fell in love with TED inmediately because I found TED talks as an excellent way to communicate great ideas. I want to host a TEDx for my city because I know the potential impact it can have.
