Here's a website everyone should be going to. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and (as they put it) an "annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes)." - No small deal, the top three speakers get $100,000 to see out those ideas. The themes of these conferences range from "What's next in Tech" and "Bold Predictions, Stern Warnings", to "Is there a God?" and (my personal favorite) "What Makes Us Happy?". However, one of my most favorite talks is Hans Rosling's presentation of "Debunking Third World Myths" from the conference about rethinking poverty. Here it is- 18 minutes that are well worth watching. Enjoy. more about " Hans Rosling: Debunking third-world ...", posted with vodpod
