TED is a small nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then, its scope has become ever broader.
They make the best talks and performances from TED and partners available to the world, for free. More than 700 TEDTalks are now available, with more added each week. All of the talks are subtitled in English, and many are subtitled in various languages. These videos are released under a Creative Common License so they can be freely shared and re-posted.
TEDs mission: Spreading ideas.
They believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world. So they are building a clearinghouse that offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world's most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other. TED.com, launched April 2007, is an ever-evolving work in progress, and you're an important part of it. Have an idea? The TED will want to hear from you.
Purpose of this article:
Here, I am trying to help spread TED through my blog. There are talks on technology which really motivates businessmen and software programmers to innovate and create products which people feel are impossible to do.
One such talk which I remember which was very impressive and motivated me was Pranav Mistry's "The thrilling potential of SixthSense Technology".
At TEDIndia, Pranav Mistry demos several tools that help the physical world interact with the world of data, including a deep look at his SixthSense device and a new, paradiigm-shifting paper "laptop". In his talk, Mistry says he will open-source the software behind SixthSense, to open its possibilities to all.
Here is the link to know more about the SixthSense:
