Hello TEDheads! Social media is killing us--but it's also a fantastic platform for staying connect and making change. Let's have a conversation around the upsides and downsides of social media. No matter which side you fall on, love it or hate it, it should be a great conversation. The videos below will help you understand both sides before arriving. Please have a watch. ***Please watch the following 2 talks on your own device before the event.*** *** # ★ **Talk #1:** [I quit social media-here's what happened | Gabriela Nguyen](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tslzTC3nt_0&t=144s) After spending more than a decade “chronically online,” Gabriela Nguyen realized her struggle with distraction, anxiety, and disconnection wasn’t a personal failing—it was the product of technologies designed to hijack attention. In this candid, research-grounded talk, she introduces “appstinence,” a way of reclaiming focus and meaning by redesigning our physical, digital, and social environments. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tslzTC3nt_0&t=144s](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tslzTC3nt_0&t=144s) # ★ **Talk # 2:** [How social media can make history | Clay Shirky](https://www.ted.com/talks/clay_shirky_how_social_media_can_make_history) While news from Iran streams to the world, Clay Shirky shows how Facebook, Twitter and TXTs help citizens in repressive regimes to report on real news, bypassing censors (however briefly). The end of top-down control of news is changing the nature of politics. [https://www.ted.com/talks/clay_shirky_how_social_media_can_make_history](https://www.ted.com/talks/clay_shirky_how_social_media_can_make_history) **Please note the following:** We want to provide a space for those who are curious about life, enjoy TED Talks, and want to share their findings with others. Please join us as we consider this topic, **Wednesday, March 4 at 7:15pm.** Newcomers are most welcome! Hoping to see you there. (Please sign up only if you really intend to attend). NOTE: We ask for a **3 Euro contribution** on the night to cover costs. Thank you.

## Details The title of the event is a paradox! Read in silence and then discuss with like-minded folks! :-) 📝 **How does this work?** We will meet in the Bartley's Restaurant area from 7:00 PM to 8:15 PM for silent reading and followed up by discussion. **During silent reading, you're expected to remain silent and read.** Please bring your headphones and refrain from the discussion during the first one hour in the area. 👥 **Socialising** After an hour, at 8:15 PM, we'll discuss and socialize about the book you're reading. We highly encourage you to move between tables and strike up conversations with fellow book lovers. These discussions about literature and reading recommendations are often the highlight of the event! Feel free to join at any point during the event. The event is indoors, hopefully, we can continue the tradition of the silent reading in the winter! **📌 Helpful Tips and Notes** * Bring headphones to block out surrounding noise * I will post a comment on the event page when I arrive to indicate where we're seated, so everyone can find us * If you prefer to skip the silent reading, you can join directly at the bar at 8:15 PM ⚠️**Something Happened?** If something unpleasant happened to you, it may happen to others. It may be small but don't hesitate to reach out to me. Looking forward to meeting you all 😊

Get ready to make your voice heard at the next meeting of **People's College Debating Club** on **4th March**! Whether you’re a seasoned speaker or someone who’s never stood up to debate before, this is your chance to sharpen your arguments, challenge new ideas, and build confidence in a fun and supportive environment. This meeting will be a little different and a lot more exciting. We are asking everyone to along a motion to debate. It can be serious, political, philosophical, light-hearted, or completely creative. Whether it’s “This House Would Ban Social Media for Under 16s” or “This House Believes Pineapple Belongs on Pizza,” we want to hear your ideas! The more varied and imaginative the motions, the better the debates will be. On the day, we’ll be holding **1-on-1 debates for each motion**. That means every idea gets the spotlight, and every speaker gets the opportunity to go head-to-head in a focused, fast-paced exchange of arguments. This format is perfect for developing quick thinking, structured reasoning, and confident delivery. Debating isn’t just about winning an argument it’s about learning how to communicate clearly, think critically, and respond under pressure. These are skills that help in exams, university interviews, job applications, and everyday life. So start thinking of your motion, prepare your arguments, and come ready to challenge and be challenged. Bring a friend, bring your ideas, and most importantly, bring your voice. We can’t wait to see you on **4th March** for an evening of lively discussion and competitive spirit at People’s College Debating Club €3 Attendance fee payable at the door

This event is organized by Albert's List. The event is online and FREE. Attendees can attend from anywhere. RSVP here: [https://luma.com/4f5frhsd](https://luma.com/4f5frhsd) Most people think reselling requires pallets, weekend sourcing trips, and a garage full of inventory. But the truth? Your highest-ROI items are probably already in your home. Charles Costa learned this the hard way. Years ago, a friend challenged him to list something—*anything*—he already owned. He grabbed an old camera lens, wrote a quick listing, and expected nothing. Two hours later, it sold for $68. That single sale changed everything. Not because of the money, but because of the realization: **You don’t need a big setup to start earning—just a system.** And that’s exactly what this webinar will teach. ### **In this free teaser session, you’ll learn:** * How to identify the everyday items in your home that quietly hold real resale value * The beginner mistakes that kill trust (and how to avoid them instantly) * Simple photography tricks that make your items stand out * How to price confidently using real market data—no guesswork * What actually moves the needle in your first 10 listings * The repeatable weekly workflow used by successful resellers to build steady income ### **You’ll walk away with:** * A clear understanding of the items in your home that can sell fastest * The exact steps to prepare, photograph, price, and list your first products * A confidence boost that you *can* make money without spending money * A starter checklist you can use the same day to list your first item ### **Plus: A Special Opportunity** At the end of the session, you’ll have the option to join the full course available now on Gumroad: [https://resellingguide.ai/](https://resellingguide.ai/) Attendees will receive an in-webinar discount, so join us to get it! Created by a veteran insider who has worked directly on marketplace systems, the course gives you a proven, practical roadmap—not generic hustle advice. You’ll learn how to launch, scale, and automate a side income without sourcing trips, pallets, or upfront investment. If you’re ready to turn unused items into real money, this is where it begins.

This event has a different topic each time and includes a variety of interactive exercises. It's an engaging and creative way to express ourselves, and connect with how others think, feel and deal with life. We will aim to provide a supportive and sate environment and open up about our lives freely. A lot of times we don't talk about what we are really going through because we are worried of what people might think of us. This causes us to bottle things up, feel disconnected with the people around us or feel ashamed of ourselves. Anything you share in the session is confidential and shall not be disclosed outside of the room. Please only RSVP if you intend to come and change your RSVP to 'No' if you are not going to be able to attend. • **PRICE:** 5 € to cover the room (Revolut/Cash/ Paypal). Please pay the fee after the workshop. • **TIME:** We will start at 19:25 and finish at 20:55. Please be on time, to respect other members in the group. • **VENUE:** We are meeting at the Abbey Presbyterian Church - Parnell Square N, Rotunda, Dublin 1 (entrance on the side of Frederick St.). The room is on the first floor, at the back on your left. • **NOTE:** Even though the event is held in a religious institution, the group and the event are entirely secular and the exercises are by no means related to spirituality or religion.

**Google Analytics Alternatives** Is it finally time to make the switch away from Google Analytics? Two-and-a-half years ago Jason Packer asked this question at Columbus Web Analytics Wednesday. Since then: Google’s Universal Analytics has been sunset, we’ve changed our name to Columbus Data & Analytics Wednesday, and Jason has released two editions of his book “Google Analytics Alternatives”. Fresh off the release of the 2nd edition of his book, we thought it was time to re-open this conversation. While people love to complain about it, GA’s market share has remained relatively constant (at least in the United States). Why is that? You won’t find any complaints about GA4 in this talk, but rather an overview of what’s currently available in the market and how to frame your decision-making process. We’ll also be giving out some free copies of Jason’s book! So even if you’ve got a “GA4Lyfe” tattoo (no judgement), there’s free books to go with the free pizza and beer. Thanks to our 2026 sponsors: [Clarivoy](https://www.clarivoy.com), [What Box Consulting Group](https://www.whatboxconsultinggroup.com), [Conductrics](https://www.conductrics.com), and [Piwik PRO](https://piwik.pro) More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)
