Zeitalter des Vergessens | Defne Osmanbaşoğlu & Selin Zeliha Kaya | TEDxALKEVHS Youth
Die Rede „Das Zeitalter des Vergessens und der Konzentration“ beschäftigt sich mit den Herausforderungen der modernen Zeit, in der Information im Überfluss vorhanden ist, aber wahre Aufmerksamkeit und Erinnerung zunehmend verloren gehen. In einer Welt, die von Technologie, ständiger Ablenkung und digitaler Überforderung geprägt ist, untersucht die Sprecherin, wie sich unser Denken, Lernen und Erinnern verändert hat.Der Vortrag beleuchtet, wie die ständige Reizüberflutung durch soziale Medien und digitale Geräte unsere Fähigkeit beeinträchtigt, uns zu konzentrieren und bedeutungsvolle Verbindungen zu schaffen. Gleichzeitig wird reflektiert, wie Vergessen sowohl als Schutzmechanismus als auch als Folge des schnellen Informationsflusses verstanden werden kann.Die Rede lädt das Publikum dazu ein, das Gleichgewicht zwischen Vergessen und Konzentration neu zu definieren – zu erkennen, dass bewusste Aufmerksamkeit und geistige Ruhe zu den wertvollsten Fähigkeiten unserer Zeit gehören. Durch eine Kombination aus wissenschaftlicher Reflexion und persönlicher Beobachtung wird verdeutlicht, dass wahre Konzentration nicht nur ein Akt des Denkens, sondern auch ein Akt des Widerstands gegen die Oberflächlichkeit des modernen Zeitalters ist.
