(from ted.com) Ted stands for Technology, Entertainment & Design. It started out(1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then it's scope has become even broader.
The annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).
Our mission: Spreading ideas. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world. So we're building here 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.
Okay, so now that you have a background for Ted.com, I'd like to introduce you to one of my favorite speakers from ted.com's latest annual conference. Her name is Jill Bolte Taylor. She is a neuroanatomist. And if you have a spare 18 minutes and 44 seconds I challenge you to listen to her amazing experience. I promise you, it will be time well spent.
