Something interesting


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.

It's easier if you check the links from here, about TED, TEDBlog, TED Conferences.

If you are just bored, cure boredom and learn something new by checking out the videos on all their speakers at the conference. You won't be disappointed. Heck, there are even entertainers, a fine example would be the video posted below:

This is Rives;
His poem,
Mockingbird. (TED Conference 2006)




Each year, the world’s leading thinkers and doers gather in Monterey, California for an event many describe as the highlight of their year. Attendees have called it “The ultimate brain spa,” "Davos for optimists" and “A four-day journey into the future, in the company of those creating it.” This event is called TED, and it’s truly a conference like no other.

"It was incredible." Malcolm Gladwell
"A mind-opening experience." Amy Tan
"One of the highlights of my entire life." Billy Graham
"I've never experienced anything remotely like it." Jeffrey Katzenberg
"The combined IQ of the attendees is incredible." Bill Gates

Spread their mission. Ideas.
