I prepared this presentation for a YouTube special I have created titled "Zeitgeist".
Zeitgeist means the defining spirit or mood of a particular period.
In this monthly program, we review what happened in the world during the past month.
In this presentation, I have brought together the significant moments and events of May 2021.
We cover areas including global news, technology, business, innovation, space, culture, TV, and social media.
The program is narrated in Turkish. However, the slides are in English.
The video is here: Zeitgeist May 2021:
