    Hey guys, I have be entered wthin a group of people to do public speaking for an audience and was wondering what would be an interesting topic to speak about.
    I was thinking
    - Racism
    - World Povert
    - War
    - etc,

    But these are too typical and won't really capture and audience/panel.
    What do you think would capture my audience and mabye even humour them.
    Anime, Youtube?

    The thing is that I have to travel to a local mid or high-school and most of them won't know about internet marketing and will start throwing crap at me. :(
    How about "Google is taking over the world" ?

    I would consider who my audience is first, if they are a group of seniors, IM may not be a good topic.
    Also stick to something your comfortable with somewhat.

    How about internet or Real world Scams, Fraud, Dealing with Spam.
    Personal security

    Stick to something that appeals to a broad range.

    A thought might be to use wordtracker to see how many people are searching a topic, to know how interested J.Q. Public is, in the topic your considering.
    I used to give seminars, and first found it very intimidating, bt after time, enjoyed it.

    Good luck
    Scott
