Learn Something New….
The ideas show on this page are available with many others on TED. Check it out!
Some of my Personal Favorites:
1. Hans Rosling: Debunking third-world myths with the best stats you’ve ever seen
You’ve never seen data presented like this. With the drama and urgency of a sportscaster, statistics guru Hans Rosling debunks myths about the so-called “developing world.”
2. Tim Berners-Lee: The next Web of open, linked data
3. Kevin Kelly: How does technology evolve? Like we did
Tech enthusiast Kevin Kelly asks “What does technology want?” and discovers that its movement toward ubiquity and complexity is much like the evolution of life.
4. Steven Strogatz: How things in nature tend to sync up
Mathematician Steven Strogatz shows how flocks of creatures (like birds, fireflies and fish) manage to synchronize and act as a unit — when no one’s giving orders. The powerful tendency extends into the realm of objects, too.
