The main topic of this speech is about the integration of the 'digital now.' Digital now is a concept is immersion of having technology in our life as important as having food and shelter. Catastrophic events such as her having been lived through "Hurricane Sandy" that the nature is stronger than the technology the humans can ever make but such events will have not stop our current generation of having the need to be plugged in, by going to the nearest available plug to connect to "Twitter, Facebook, and etc."
This digital now distorts time by archiving every moments of time and the "now" concept is a farce because time will always be a few moments ahead regards of how we want to savor it. What ends up happening with the digital now is looking back at the past on Twitter, on Facebook and etc., instead of living at the moment. She mentions that "Time is attention and that time and attention is one in the same." That there is hope and regain our completeness of self and choose to take time back by not plugging and enjoying the time with the environment around you.
The speech was every engaging and her pace very subtle with pauses that allow her audience to soak in and think about their our lives. She presented the problem of the 'digital now' but also presented a solution on how we can solve but going outside enjoying nature and the people around you with our digital devices. Overall I would recommend to take what she mentions on this speech to heart and learn to apply it on our lives.
