Seven TED Talks for inspiration
Seven Blockbuster TED talks recommended by Chris Anderson, who runs TED. I had time to watch only one of them, by Elizabeth Gilbert and it is a good one.
1. Juan Enriquez looks beyond the economic crisis to the next stage in our species' evolution. Stand by for mindboggling science ...and a lot of laughs too. http://tr.im/iU5O
2. Pattie Maes gave a short, stunning demo of a technology developed in her lab at MIT which combined a personal projector with cellphone, computing and web technologies to create what she called a 'sixth sense'. More than 3m people have now viewed her talk. http://tr.im/iU6w
3. Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Eat, Pray, Love, won a standing ovation for her appeal for a beautiful, unexpected technique for nurturing creativity http://tr.im/iU65
4. International phenom Gustavo Dudamel conducted an orchestra of kids from Venezuela, many of whom had been recruited from poverty-stricken villages and slums through the (TED Prize-winning) El Sistema program, and raised to a level of talent and passion that beggars belief. http://tr.im/iU51
5. Bonnie Bassler explained the startling discovery that bacteria communicate with each other in sophisticated ways to coordinate attack strategies.... and what we can do about it. Remarkable science made understandable and thrilling. http://tr.im/iU3Y
6. Willie Smits told the story of an astonishing decade-long labor of love in which he re-grew from scratch a rainforest that had been destroyed, offering hope for one of the world's most alarming problems. http://tr.im/iU4F
7. Barry Schwartz brought the audience to its feet with his plea for a rediscovery of "practical wisdom" in business and public affairs http://tr.im/iU5t
