Most of the TED presentations are interesting. Justdistaint posted a video link to a global health perspective presentation. While I liked it for other reasons the raw information in the demo was slightly informative if you do not keep up with meaningful current events. At the very least it's a more charismatic presentation.

And if you didn't give a damn about the first video you're not going to care about this one.

Where did you come across TEDTalks robotfuel? Not too many people I know that watch them.

I've just recently become aware of them. My friend at work introduced me to them through the Photosynth presentation and since then I've been frequenting http://www.ted.com/talks checking out the different ones. I agree as well, they're very interesting.

I love the concept itself. Getting some of the most creative/brilliant minds in the world to give an interesting speech is bound to bring some interesting ideas to the table.

I especially like the one where Ken Robinson talks about how school's may kill creativity. Something I thought all throughout highschool. Of course he puts it more eloquently then I ever could. Probably because he's British. And a Knight.

Well done. You're ok in my book.


Likewise. Those who know of the coming war between old people (and their medicine) and robots are few and far between. Even less so then those who know of the coming zombie apocalypse.

Although I do not talk about it much, as it seems no one but I cares about the subject, I am a complete zealot when it comes to the topic of school reform. I feel it to be one the most grossly inefficient and ineffective institutions.

I want to meet this man and have his babies.
