Theme: ctrl+alt+del

Coming to you virtually on Zoom, TEDxMCKL has overcome limitations set by the ongoing pandemic and is back for its second time!

ctrl+alt+del is a keyboard shortcut to access your PC's task manager. The task manager of the PC is just like the 'brain' of your PC. One key feature of the task manager is that you are in control of every app that is in your PC. You can force some of them to stop running, and delete apps that you are no longer using. You can even switch some of the apps for better alternatives.

This relates back to our mind. We have the power, and the choice, to alter our memories. TEDx talks inspire to initiate new perspectives to its listeners, because we as humans have got the ability to accept new ideas from others. And we also have the ability to update our perspectives, and even 'delete', or forget, perspectives.
