持ち歩く必要がなかったもの | Owen Qin | TEDxArbutus Ridge Youth

10年生のOwen Qinさんが、学校のキャンプ旅行で2週間スマートフォンを使わなかった経験を振り返ります。デジタルな気晴らしから離れたことで、人とのつながりを取り戻し、日常をより身近に感じられるようになったと語ります。講演では、人が実際に選んでいる日常の習慣と、環境から受け継いでいる習慣の違いについて問いかけています。また、2026年にフリップフォンを選んだ理由や、周囲の環境が注意力に与える影響にも触れています。

“Sometimes changing your environment can be more powerful than constantly fighting against it.” Through his experience of spending two weeks without a smartphone on a school camping trip, Owen Qin explores how stepping away from digital distractions helped him rediscover meaningful connections and become more present in everyday life. As he reflects, “The point is that we grow up surrounded by habits that feel normal, and sometimes we never stop to ask whether we actually chose them.” Owen is a Grade 10 student interested in economics, entrepreneurship, and how technology shapes everyday life. In his TEDx talk, he shares his experience of choosing a flip phone in 2026 and explores how our environment can influence our habits, attention, and choices. He hopes to encourage others to think more carefully about which habits they want to keep and which ones they are willing to leave behind. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
