TED and why I like it?
April 23rd, 2008 | Author: Kevin Steele
You may have noticed in earlier posts that I reference talks given by different people at a conference called TED. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. This yearly conference is filled with many people talking about their ideas. These talks include pictures of penguins from an Antarctic trip, Learning about variations on a theme by a teenage piano player, funny pundits, Google, heart surgeons, Al Gore, and more. The theme of TED.com and the videos there is “Ideas Worth Spreading”. I have always loved great ideas. To quote a part of TED.com.
“Consider:
- An idea can be created out of nothing except an inspired imagination.
- An idea weighs nothing.
- It can be transferred across the world at the speed of light for virtually zero cost.
- And yet an idea, when received by a prepared mind, can have extraordinary impact.
- It can reshape that mind’s view of the world.
- It can dramatically alter the behavior of the mind’s owner.
- It can cause the mind to pass on the idea to others. “
So, please understand that sometimes, I’m just trying to share and idea, pass it along. I don’t expect you to agree or disagree, I just want to share ideas that affected my perspective. If you have or find great ideas, please, please, please share.
