TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design)

This TED talk is about how the education system kills creativity, and the speaker (Ken Robinson) is very funny. Check it out, and find out more about TED below.

For sometime now I have been watching TED talks when ever I remember of them. TED is a conference which "brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers" to give a lecture in about an 18min period.
These talks are immensely interesting, often humorous, and the ideas or subjects which they are about are often extremely fascinating and inspirational. I think I have posted TED talks on here before, my last post was one, and I will most likely be posting more. The conference has been going on since 1984 and they have over 150 videos online with more being added each week.
You can view the talks on their site, although I find it very slow, probably due to high demand. I haven't had problems with viewing them on YouTube, the key is to start the video, pause it and let it load to the end before watching it. What's even better is that TED has their own YouTube account so one mustn't due a lot of digging to find videos.
What are you waiting for go watch some.
