I've attended the extraordinary TED Conference for the past seven years and am considerably richer for the experience. The conference has undergone a metamorphosis under the curation of Chris Anderson and become a source of compassion as well as wonder.
Starting today, those who've not been able to attend can finally get a taste of this wonderful event. TEDTalks are now available, thanks to a partnership with BMW. This from the TED site:
Each year, TED hosts some of the world's most fascinating people: Trusted voices and convention-breaking mavericks, icons and geniuses. The talks they deliver have had had such a great impact, we thought they deserved a wider audience. So now, for the first time, we're sharing them with the world at large... Each week, we'll release a new talk to inspire, intrigue and awaken the imagination. For best effect, plan to listen to at least three, start to finish. (They have a cumulative effect.) If you have a curious soul and an open mind, we think you'll be hooked...
I urge you to experience these incredible presentations. Don't miss Hans Rosling's amazing presentation, nor (fellow Bronxite!) Majora Carter's, nor Al Gore's, nor (biggest '06 surprise) Tony Robbins's, nor...hell, catch 'em all! It's a treat you really must give yourself.
Congratulations and thanks to Chris and all the folks at TED for moving on to the next stage of the conversation.
