TED Talks

TED Talks: What are they?

TED is a very cool initiative (similar to "Las ciudad de las Ideas") where speakers from all over the world have a forum to express what they think.

TED gathers professors, writers, artists, entrepreneurs, students, intellectuals, hobbyists and pretty much anyone with something worth saying and simply gives them means to be heard.

You can find out more at TED's webstie: http://www.ted.com/

Anyway, TED is coming to BU (Boston University, my university) and I am very exited. I have been watching a few videos of previous talks and here is a little of what I have found.
