In a world bombarded by endless notifications and constant digital chatter, Sudwit Tagore’s insightful talk, The Power of Silence: Finding Calm in a Chaotic Connected World, invites us to pause and reflect on the true meaning of silence. Through personal anecdotes and sharp observations, Sudwit reveals how silence—often misunderstood or overlooked—communicates volumes in both our online and offline lives. From the anxiety of lost messages to the unspoken lessons in a mother’s quiet displeasure, Sudwit explores how silence carries emotions, commands attention, and shapes human connection in ways words sometimes cannot. Challenging our addiction to digital noise, he calls on us to embrace moments of stillness and to recognize that sometimes, the loudest voice is the one that says nothing at all. This talk is a compelling reminder that silence is not empty—it is powerful, meaningful, and essential for true understanding. an avid reader of books, I enjoy talking to my friends and making new ones. I also love to write stories of my own, of lengths short and long, all while listening to classical music or soundtracks from whatever movie or game I am obsessed with. Being someone who loves all sorts of different fields of science as well as expressing myself in the deepest of ways, public speaking is often the natural outcome. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
