Mind Beyond the Mind | R Rafath Fathima | TEDxPanimalarEngineeringCollege
In this immersive and thought-provoking talk, we explore how technology is no longer just a tool we use—but a system we become. From phantom vibrations and algorithm-shaped emotions to auto-completed instincts and evolving digital languages, our relationship with tech is reshaping the human experience. Drawing on philosophy, neuroscience, AI, and lived experience, this talk examines how emotion is being monetized, instincts outsourced, and language transformed. Are we losing something human—or redefining what it means to be one? This is not just about machines. It’s about us, becoming something more—something beyond the mind we thought we knew. Rafath Fathima works as a Presales Engineer at Zoho, where she helps bridge the gap between technology and people. An engineer by profession and a communicator by passion, she has been active in public speaking from a young age ,earning two state-level awards and recognition across multiple speaking forums.
Inquisitive by nature, Rafath finds joy in asking questions, exploring ideas, and learning continuously. She is also a passionate writer who believes in the power of words to reflect, connect, and provoke thought. She finds solace in sketching ,a quiet space where ideas take shape through lines and colors.
She values clarity, connection, and lifelong learning and carries those values into every conversation, creation, and challenge she takes on. 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
