TED - ideas worth spreading
Last year, my lecturer in Design Thinking showed us this 20 minute speech on creativity in school. This was a brilliant speech, held by Sir Ken Robinson at TED , and I came across it again this year, as I was writing an essay on creativity.Internet to reach out to people rather then try to prevent it. The idea with TED is to put up speeches from the annual conferences to spread the ideas that has been presented. The speeches are in the areas of Technology, Entertainment and Design. And we're not just talking about any kind of speeches here. It is things like Al Gore talking about global warming. Ken Robinson became knighted by the queen of England due to his contributes of creative thinking and work in the English school system and his speech on creativity is mind blowing. This is exactly the kind of access we need today. I'm not saying that books are overrated or not useful any more, but the way we are now starting to access information is so much more sufficient. Books go out of date so quickly, where as something like TED will always present contemporary issues from well educated sources that is more then reliable to use in essays and other kinds of research papers. I really hope that we in the future can see more of this kind of high quality information in forms of multimedia to be able to enrich our mind even more.
