In the Spirit of Ideas
The TED conference is an annual showcase of ideas around technology, entertainment, and design. Speakers have a limited time, between 15 and 20 minutes for the majority, to get their ideas across. This time constraint means that most of them are remarkably concise and articulate.
Speakers range from Al Gore to Peter Gabriel to David Pogue.
The talks are available as podcasts from tedtalks. Because they’re so short, they don’t require a vast committment of time and from what I’ve seen so far, they’re thought-provoking and entertaining.
