From smartphone addiction to human connection | Ritzo ten Cate | TEDxBreda

Ritzo ten Cate took hundreds of photos of Telephone Zombies: people just looking up from their smartphones. Some of these pictures were published in national news papers and in international media. With his TEDxBreda Talk he wants to invite more people to join his quest for healthy smartphone use.
Ritzo is a Dutch meeting designer, social engineer and photographer based in Groningen, the Netherlands. His intention is to create a better world with more happy, healthy people. Most of his initiatives are about connecting or reconnecting people.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

Thank you Ritzo for the awareness about this huge phenomenon that is changing society so much. The empty glances on your pictures are confronting. A plea to be in the here and now. I love it how you made people connect during the talk. And that your talk is not to smooth. A Ritzo talk. You yourself. Open and vulnerable. Send...
