In the video, a man is standing on a stage and giving a speech. He is wearing a white shirt and glasses. The stage has a red carpet and a wooden podium with the words "TEDx Pickering Street" written on it. The man is holding a remote control and is gesturing with his hands as he speaks. The background is a dark grey color with a white curtain. There is a large screen behind the man that displays a diagram of a city with various buildings and roads. The diagram is in black and white and has the words "Life Before the Internet" written on it.
