Smartphone & Social Media: A Solution to Combat Homelessness | Mark Horvath | TEDxSyracuseUniversity

http://youtu.be/B4k9iYmGPU8
Social media is more than cat videos and vacation photos. Social media is a new way for humans to communicate sometimes deep and complex ideas and challenges. Let’s not take this medium for granted and let’s think of new ways to impact the world for social good. Everyone talks about social media's potential to democratize and empower those less fortunate. Mark actually makes that happen. Mark, or @HARDLYNORMAL as the Internet knows him, is an internationally recognized activist who tells the story of the countless individuals without a voice-- those living in shelters, motels, tents, alongside streets and under highway bridges. His platform INVISIBLEPEOPLE.TV is one of the most revolutionary and poignant storytelling destinations we've ever seen on the web. Mark is also CMO at RESCUE MISSION ALLIANCE OF SYRACUSE. Mark's work is extraordinary because he not only helps solve the systemic, scaled problems of homelessness by destroying stereotypes, but he also helps singular individuals, every day. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
