Basically its a storehouse of videos of amazing lectures by the top people in a wide variety of fields. Free for us to download and watch. You can see the the leaders in field of technology, science, arts, global issues and many more.
The one I want to share today is by Sir Ken Robinson. I have not heard of him but I know who he is now. His talk is titled: Do Schools Kill Creativity? He combines humor and challenges in just the right mix. Here is the blurb from the TED page.
Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining (and profoundly moving) case for creating an education system that nurtures creativity, rather than undermining it. With ample anecdotes and witty asides, Robinson points out the many ways our schools fail to recognize -- much less cultivate -- the talents of many brilliant people. "We are educating people out of their creativity," Robinson says. The universality of his message is evidenced by its rampant popularity online. A typical review: "If you have not yet seen Sir Ken Robinson's TED talk, please stop whatever you're doing and watch it now."
Give it a listen and let me know what you think.
