Thomas Suarez TED Talk
Thomas Suarez, a very smart, well informed and technologically advanced boy did a TED talk to hundreds of people ‘live’ and through the media about Technology and creating apps. He talked a lot about his experience creating applications and what he had to go through to put his apps somewhere where the world can see them. He made it clear that creating apps isn’t as easy as people thing. For example if you want to play an instrument, pay for music lessons, or if you want to play footy, sign up for a season. Though, with creating an app, you have to go through the whole process of finding a site to do it on get permission to pay the fee allowing you to put your own apps ant the App Store. He explained the process he had to go through in his TED talk to the audience announcing how to do what he did, adding in some humour along the way to really hook in the audience and engage them. When going through his TED talk, Thomas used an Ipad to help him remember what to talk about. He probably didn’t have a word for word script, probably just some key notes and points. He also used the big screen up behind him to get the attention of the audience and to help them understand his thinking. A microphone was used to get his words out loud and clearly so everyone could hear him. One more thing he did was walked around the stage instead of standing still on the spot.
