In an age where powerful corporate conglomerates dominate the political, economic, and social conversation, the idea and image of the so-called "Rock Star" had become more a marketing mouthpiece than an agent for social and political change. Using the music industry as an example, McWalters shows how technology has helped perpetuate the problem, but also how, if used properly, it can be a saving grace.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
