Dreptul la timp | Olga Juverdeanu | TEDxBrașov

()

Introduction

The speaker introduces herself as the mother of Natalia and the CEO of Global Records.
The theme of the event is harmony, interpreted as balance and quality of life.

Technology promises to improve our quality of life but complicates our relationship with time, patience, and expectations.
Unlike previous generations, we are more aware of mental balance but also more prone to imbalance due to rapid technological advancements.
Technology has changed the way people consume media, with streaming services like Spotify and YouTube enabling on-demand access to music and videos.
This on-demand culture extends to other areas of life, such as shopping and travel, leading to a decline in patience and tolerance.

The speaker shares personal experiences in the entertainment industry, where the rapid pace and short-lived nature of content creation and consumption pose challenges for creative processes that require time.
Contrary to expectations, the creative process involves extensive periods of silence, discussions, and experimentation before a song materializes.
Creative individuals require time and freedom from time constraints to produce their best work.

Balance and harmony are both a condition and a goal, requiring conscious effort to achieve and maintain.
Technology should be used to enhance life and provide more time, rather than consuming it.
The speaker encourages the audience to avoid living on autopilot and to intentionally create space and time for themselves.
