This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences.
Within the context of China’s push for modernisation over the last three decades, Chip highlights the ways technology has impinged on traditional Chinese values, and calls for increased debates to be brought back into families and classrooms.  
Chip Tsao is a columnist and broadcaster in Hong Kong who has written on a wide range of subjects, many of which relate to the comparison of China with Western countries.
Chip is a renowned writer in Hong Kong, where his iconic column in HK magazine titled “Political Incorrectness” has garnered him much media attention for its satirical tone and often controversial views. In his early life, Chip gained a Bachelor’s degree in English from Warwick University and later gained a postgraduate diploma from London School of Economics and Political Science.
He began his career as a journalist in the United Kingdom, initially reporting for the BBC World Service during the Cold War, and later deputy editor of Eastern Express during the final years of British colonial rule in Hong Kong. Having lived both in the West and the East, Chip considers himself a global citizen.
About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Technology does not bring true happiness. People should realise all of the unnecessary things crammed into their lives are only intended to distance them from the true nature of happiness and well being, other people and how we interact. Lasting happiness is gained through rich, noursihing and sustaining relationships with other people.

Very bad English, very banal content. Frankenstein, Brave New World? That has been talked about to death. His pronunciation is rotten as well.

You idiot, everyone has the right to comment on a performance. My judgement is very objective. There are people in Hong Kong who can speak much better English. To Kit is a charlatan.

+alphabetacanton I won't say "very bad". Surely he doesn't pick up a native English Cockney accent like David Tang did, but I would still say he speaks okay English. He is definitely a much better writer than speaker. To speak well you either were born with the special talent or you make a conscious effort to train yourself. In a way I am glad Chip speaks English with a Cantonese accent, because it shows he's not perfect after all =)

+alphabetacanton From personal experience, it is usually the non-native english speakers who are annoyed by other people's "bad english".
