Join 3310 - School for Millennials' Turn Me On Talk Show!

If internet exists of 1.2 million TB and if 65 billion Whatsapp messages are sent every day to family, friends, lost childhood lovers, you can say that technology has made us more connected to the world around us. With movements on preventing climate change and creating an inclusive society we seem more united nowadays. But are we really more connected to the world and each other?

As millennials we travel, we meet new cultures, stay in touch with new friends. But when we are at home in our individualistic society, what is your first response when someone unannounced comes ringing at your door while you just started your binge watch? Times have changed quickly in how we interact with each other and will change even more. What if pollution prevents you from flying to explore new environments, if technology makes us not having to go out to work or meet new people? Not getting out of our comfort zone, our bubble, prevents us from learning new things and might erode our empathy towards each other.

During this 2nd edition of 3310 - School for Millennials’ talk show Turn Me On, five different experts will share their knowledge about the impact and future of the different bubbles we currently live in. We start with a short introduction and pitch from each expert on the various bubbles, such as technology and ethnicity. Then we will proceed to a panel discussion and we will finish with a short deep dive in the various topics.

This evening will be hosted by Wing Yan Man, founder of 3310 - School for Millennials.
