Conversation: the new luxury
Susan Bird |
TED Residency
• July 2016
When was the last time you talked with a stranger? It's no secret that our attention is increasingly focused on phones and computer screens instead of on the world around us. Amid so many technological ways to communicate with others, business executive Susan Bird believes the skill to carry on face-to-face conversation is more valuable than ever. She speaks up about the joys of verbal exchange as well as its power to shift perspectives, jumpstart ideas and create innovative solutions to problems from the mundane to the transformative.
