My dearest friend Benzi Ronen recently told introduced me to TED (http://www.ted.com/).
This wonderful website offers video short talks, presentations and performers by some of the most interesting people in the world - from Jeff Bezos (Amazon.com) to Al Gore (Former Vice President of the US) to Sirena Huang (an 11 year old violinist). Each of the speakers share his or her greatest passion with the audience in just 18 minutes.
Many of these are absolutely inspiring!
Thanks Benzi!
They explain it best: "
TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever 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).
This site makes the best talks and performances from TED available to the public, for free. More than 100 talks from our archive are now available, with more added each week. These videos are released under a Creative Commons license, so they can be freely shared and reposted.
Our mission: Spreading ideas. "
