Ideas worth spreading from TEDx Ottawa
By Alexandra Reid
“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”
This powerful idea comes from Alvin Toffler, an American writer and futurist best known for his works discussing digital, corporate and communication revolutions and technological singularity. It’s a thoughtful quote that sums up the core theme of the TEDx Ottawa event nicely. Its theme, “creative actions,” explored the creative effort that goes into reversing, reworking and reinventing previously held ideas and the profound results that come from taking this kind of action.
