You are cordially invited to the next TEDxTheHague salon! Our March edition — themed Looking for problems — is curated by TEDxTheHague:
"Looking for problems surely has a bad rep. Something only a negative Nancy or Ned would enjoy. As the saying goes: 'Go looking for problems and you are sure to find them!' But of course, our world is full of problems that need to be solved. So let's go problem-hunting and make sure we find them. Because this might well cause a lot of solutions."
We'll explore this theme by watching and discussing the following videos:
Tony Fadell: The first secret of design is ... noticing

Christina Wallace: How to stop swiping and find your person on dating apps
Let's face it, online dating can suck. So many potential people, so much time wasted — is it even worth it? Podcaster and entrepreneur Christina Wallace thinks so, if you do it right. In a funny, practical talk, Wallace shares how she used her MBA skill set to invent a "zero date" approach and get off swipe-based apps — and how you can, too.
