TED: Ideas Worth Spreading

Hi All,

TED - yes, its a name.  But it is also a very, very educational website that hosts videos on a wide variety of topics.  The TED homepage has, as its tagline, 'Ideas Worth Spreading'.  Indeed they are.  The videos are dynamic, the topics are timely, relevant and sometimes a bit controversial.  For example, click on this link by a speaker who discusses terrorism in the context of advertising. 

Alternatively you can click on this link that discusses the Seattle's new public library.  Interesting stuff.  Finally, you can click on this link that is entitled 'Suddenly, My Body' - which is also a bit controversial.

Enjoy the links - but please don't come to the library telling me 'I told you so'.  These are very timely, relevant and thought provoking videos!

Enjoy!
Stu

And a shout-out to Natalie who actually has heard about - and used - this site!  Woohoo! Go Natalie.

TED - Ideas plus Videos= Great Way to Learn Site

 Hi All,

Simply put: Click on this link to TED - no, not the person who's real name is Theodore...

TED is a website where viewers can see great lectures/talks/speeches and more by folks who have 'Ideas Worth Spreading'.  Amazing topics - amazing speakers.

And it is free.  
Users can view talks related to specific topics like technology, entertainment, design, business, science and global issues/geopolitics.

Great stuff - and you're the learning is fun!

Enjoy the site - and the weekend.
