Internet speaker Alexandra Samuel’s TEDx talk, “Ten Reasons to Stop Apologizing for your Online Life”, is an impassioned argument for the value of online activities. It even inspired a teacher in Singapore to teach her advice in class. While many criticize the internet as a ‘distraction’, or as ‘not real’, Samuel makes the case that the internet is as real as the physical world and that the internet is not something separate from our ‘real’ lives—it’s now an inextricable part of us.
