General

Try branching off of the ideas you had.

For example: What does technology mean to you?
Why is technology so attractive?
How did tech/social media evolve into what it is now?
Who influences media?
Media & free speech
Got nothing for the end of the world, sorry

Try things like that.

You can make a topic about the impact of texting on people's writing (spoiler: there isn't one). You can do one about the controversy over GMO foods (a paper about rats getting a tumor after ingesting GMO corn was recently retracted so there's no definitive evidence to support the claim that GMOs are harmful to your body).

yer sorry it's probably a more boring topic than the ones you originally thought of and would require reading some papers :T

how religion saved us from becoming a big bunch of idiots who kill each other for no reason

make your speech about pokemonz

dude just find a topic you're interested in

@ianzbored xDracius and Omegathorion have some really good ideas, if you can get into those topics. Also, is it a rule that you can't cover something that someone else is already doing? Because if you like a topic, I say run with it anyway. Your point of view will be different than someone else. Especially if the topic really interests you.

Some topics I can think of would be the costs of fame, ie the lack of privacy, the pressure of always being under public scrutiny, not knowing who's genuinely a friend and who's just leeching off your fame/money, etc. Or maybe talk about the common dangerous jobs like firefighters, policemen (could double as a topic about the recent controversies and the guy who killed cops).

Honestly there's so many good topics you can make a speech out of, it's just a matter of finding a topic you really like and running with it.

almost scrolled right past this gem.

Try to find something you're passionate about.

If you want to do a presentation about game design, I can throw my whole reading list at you. Tons of good topics there. The dangers of addictive games, the motivation to push yourself through arbitrary challenges, the purpose of narrative storytelling. My classmates are sick of hearing me talk about game design. That's just my passion, you should have a passion too.

Stigma against intelligence in America, why we value things like athletics over education, why nerd and geek are almost always used in negativity in association with intelligence, etc.
