Internet Addiction + Debate = Online Debate Addiction

Presenter: Curca Stefan-Alexandru

Abstract: In recent days,the internet addiction is getting worse by the minute. According to a survey made last year,there are above 400 „internet rehab centers”in China alone.In the United States of America,”a cure” from the internet goes up to 14500 dolars.

So, we can see the addiction spreading really fast.But,on the other hand,we have the world of debate,that takes over most teens and in a few years,will become an addiction to.So why not mix them together,not just an online debate championship(WODC from IDEA-which is an idea for this new decade),but all sort of online activities such as conferences,creativity games,international chating,on-line training etc.Only when we will be able to change ourselfes to match the ongoing changes will we be ready to have a new media for debate and communication,and social change. How will we be able to promote this new ways and why is to be revealed in my full speech.
