TED Talks: Ideas Worth Spreading

As you noticed in class, I was a bit taken aback that no one knew about TED Talks! Here's what it's all about (from the site):

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader.

The annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).


The TED Talks website has over 200 of the best presentations and they add more every week. Be sure to check out John Maeda's "Simplicity Patterns", Ze Frank's "What's So Funny About the Web", Rives "If I Controlled the Internet".
