I'm obssessed with TED

I have recently become absolutely hooked on TED. What is TED.....TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with the annual TED Conference in Long Beach, California, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK, TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Program, the new TEDx community program, this year's TEDIndia Conference and the annual TED Prize.

I am loving them so much I have even downloaded some interesting talks and shown them to the residents, who have thoroughly enjoyed them.

My current favourites are Dave Buettner, author of the fabulous book "The Blue Zones"

AND...

This amazing 10 year old girl Adora Svitak who is the most incredible speaker.
