Perhaps you can provide more specifics about what you are looking for?
As I read your post, you state the only think you can make believable and put passion behind is tech-talk...yet cannot think of something to talk about?

What sort of things do you find interesting?

Is this a school project? Work project? Community service project?

As an idea, I'd do something like "Facebook/Twitter is more than just a click", and then explain everything behind it, the servers (databases, scripting, web development etc), the networking (routing, switching, etc), the technology involved. It get's the point across to people that when they moan that "Twitter is being ****, I can't do anything, **** Twitter", then they at least know how many of a million things they could be blaming.

Start off with something like this:

"Never before in human history have so many people communicated so little, to so many other people, as they do today..."

And then go on to talk about what a complete fap-job Twitter is....

or, if you're on the Twitter-is-the-solution-to-everything bandwagon, as many are, then spin it like this:

"Never before in human history have so many people communicated so much, to so many other people, as they do today..."

Whenever I have to do something like this I usually pilfer some famous quote and warp it a bit....Also, if I know someone in the audience, I usually look for something that I know will make at least a few of them uncomfortable.

It is your duty to tie your speech around Internet pron, after all - it's the very reason all of this great technology exists anyways.

LOL, there is so much truth in all of that...

Just quote anything Dr. House says, it's guaranteed to make the room so silent, you can hear a pin drop.

Make sure you ask pointed questions and be very brutal in selecting random unsuspecting listeners into answering your questions

You'll completely demotivate them!
