And this isn't some new phenomenon of our wired world.

Because there is this asymmetry, which creates, basically, failing governance.

looking to say something.

They help the developing world establish telecommunication networks and expand high speed broadband connections.

And there are so many ways we can connect to people.

We were running Windows 2000.

Many people are Tweeting right now.

And their sales channel were going to be websites or stadium shops or ticket websites or direct mail.

I traveled to USA and studied at conferences.

So a lot of people are following this person very influential and they have a propensity to talk about what's on TV.

At 'Hollaback' we have trained lt br gt over 200 activists around the world.

But the apps are just one piece of the puzzle.

So these kind of systems, I believe, are important.

Better arguing? That's the question.

It's the savings accounts versus the debit accounts with no deposits.

Off camera. Female voice

Not only Twitter but there were a wide variety of services.

like sustainable development targets, natural resource governance targets, access to opportunity, to knowledge, equity, fighting corruption.

You know, that was one of those thing where there is so much of the world to grasp and I think that we can learn so much about it through its citizens and their use of social media.

I mean social media, specially after the turn of events, have demonstrated that private citizens can break the monopoly that mainstream media organisations have had on news and news making.

And in the last three years, we've been looking specifically at social media to see what has changed, and we've discovered some very interesting things.

And this is the phenomenon which I call failing governance, because when I then came to Germany and started this little NGO here in Berlin, at the Villa Borsig, we were told, You cannot stop our German exporters from bribing, because we will lose our contracts.

I mean, astounding no one has this.

With green technology and with investments to alleviate poverty, and global governance, the world can become like this.

As there are tips for the surfers to ride on a wave, there is also a tip to ride on the Wave of new trend, such as social media.

Before you can clearly see the wave of the ocean, meanwhile the wave of social media is not visible.

I'm still a pupa.

We'll it's really interesting to remember when they first started.

And their sales channel was going to be websites or stadium shops or ticket websites or direct mail.

And the answer they got back was 200.

And this leads me to the third, and in my view, the most significant shift in development open governance.

So today I want to talk about young people through the platform of social media.

If governments succeed in giving the ITU more power to make decisions about the Internet, we get an old school, top down, government centric organisation replacing the open bottom up governance that made the Internet so world changing.

And also it showed us the power and the impact of social media as microblog.

And I research and write and produce and host and edit and upload and run the social media all by myself, but it's not lonely, because Vsauce has more than 2 million subscribers, and every month, my videos are seen by more than 20 million people.

It is the green lines now, that are the source of the free content, which brings me to my last story.

I've repeatedly seen that what makes corruption on a global, massive scale possible, well it isn't just greed or the misuse of power or that nebulous phrase weak governance.

And you don't have to now go and instrument living rooms with microphones to get people's conversations, you just tune into publicly available social media feeds.

It's exactly the same idea we might want to offer loyalty programs, contests and events, blogs, RSS and email, or social media all designed to engage customers.

We already heard this once tonight when we were learning about how to do social media better.

Natural Language Processing is at the heart of modern software that processes and understands human

I'm going to make an argument today that may seem a little bit crazy social media and the end of gender.

Now we're already seeing some services that are designed to let us decide what happens to our online profile and our social media accounts after we die.
