    Jun 13 2012: My brother has gone 2 days ago, he was hit by a trunk. I m very regretted we had never talked about death, we always thought we had lots of time, and then we did not spend family time too much, but now I know it is too late to Love family, to love body, to love life. Let's talk about death, talk about dying...
  • A comment on Talk: Thomas Suarez: A 12-year-old app developer

    Nov 18 2011: cool, I saw few awesome kids on TED stage, they perform so well that I cannot imagine what they will do in next 10 -20 years. It will be great idea if TED can invite them after 10 years.
  • A reply on Conversation: Social media revolution changed Egypt , then which country will be next one?

    Apr 22 2011: I do not think so. This kind of revolution would not happen if it were not for the social media in these countries. Social media based on web2.0 make it possible that people can connect with each other,and then exchange information, even share their sadness, happiness...
  • A comment on Talk: Evgeny Morozov: How the Net aids dictatorships

    Feb 25 2011: I cannot get the speaker's points, Net aids dictatorships? yes, that is becasue dictators can easily control and make use of internet, however, with the development of social media, such as twitter, facebook and other microblogs, it's much harder for goverments to control internet and informaiton sharing.
