Ted Talks of interest to the community
I subscribe to Ted Talks [ technology education development ] video presentations and I have found a few of there topic talks of interest to us in the community. For those who have not had the pleasure to hear or see on of the presenters TED has several gatherings every year where the best minds on given subject is given up to 18 min presentation to an audience of people who look to see how to make things better, rather than throwing up there hands saying ll is doom.
