Theme: 7 Billion and You

What does it mean to be a part of a 7-billion strong species? One that is capable of advanced collaboration, technology , entertainment and design! How do we evaluate our progress - are we progressing? Do we realize the our power as a species - how and where do we channel it! Are we behaving responsibly - who decides what's right? And most importantly, in a world where there are as many opinions as there are people - what does it mean to be an individual in this collective whole? How can you affect the human agenda? These are questions we pose at TEDxNITTrichy.
