At the beginning of class, Prof introduced an amazing website, TED.com. It is a conference which brings together the world's greatest minds, challenging them to make an 18 minute presentation of their lives. Speakers talk about a wide range of topics so there will be something up everyone's alley. Every year, 3 speakers will be crowned as winners and be granted one wish, called TED Prize. They get one chance to change the world with their wish and one year later, they unveil their wish during the conference.
TED2009 is now underway! Check out their blog as the conference goes on. First day speakers include Bill Gates who pulled an interesting stunt. Read more about it here.
Personally, I've been inspired by many TED videos. Will be talking about them in later posts as well as some thoughts on this year's speakers.
