TEDTalks
If  you can't quite pony up the big bucks to attend the super-brainy, ultra-cool TED conference, you can still wander freely through its blog—and, now, take a seat for its prestigious speaker series. The annual gathering covers all things futuristic and creative in the realms of technology, entertainment, and design (hence the "TED" acronym). For the first time ever, the conference has invited "the world at large" to listen in on its luminous talks. Catch the weekly releases, in audio or video format, of such movers and shakers as Vice President Al Gore, creativity expert Sir Ken Robinson, or playwright Julia Sweeney. New York Times' tech columnist David Pogue performs his own versions of Broadway show tunes. (On Bill Gates: "I write the code that makes the whole world run!") And South Bronx "green collar" activist Majora Carter delivers a stirring address that fully deserves the standing ovation it receives. (in Communications & Writing) |
