www.ted.com is going to raise my internet bill dramatically... but probably my level of enthusiasm as well.
Today I downloaded and watched 2 more presentations... both highly entertaining.
1.Seth Godin talks about sliced bread
2.Malcolm Gladwell talks about Spaghetti Sauce
The thing is, these guys are not so way out there that no one could do what they do in these clips. What makes them so good is the ideas. Gladwell says um hundreds of times... but you don't care when you watch the clip.
I like the idea that we live in a world of ideas, not one that is closely defined. I like the fact that even if we have to figure out a way to motivate ourselves to access the free education from places like MIT, and the millions of books, journals, blogs, and alike... it is there.
I like the fact that we can contact whoever we want, and if we interest them, engage with whoever we want.
We live in an exciting world.
