Ideas worth spreading


There are many occasions when you’d like to find something interesting. Search Google or Wikipedia and you have a few billion hits or websites to choose from. Go to youtube and you are slightly better off. Billion reduces to a few million. Nevertheless, so much to see and learn, so little time.


And there’s one place where you can go to. And you’ll be amazed. The presentations, the speakers, the ideas. Out of this world. It could be about a simple thing like English, or about forging, or about robotics or about bird like planes, or …

So  what exactly is TED ?
"TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader."


I started this blog by wanting to write a few lines of my favorite presentations, with links to them. But just as I was about to, I realized that the greatest joy I found was in discovering new thoughts, new ideas, new presentations, new … So I’m just going to let you go discover some pretty cool stuff.

Go check out www.ted.com.



To  sum up, as TED says “Riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world”
