TED

Now, some people might ask, what is TED? Some people already know.

I have discovered TED a few months ago and I must say that I am impressed by what can be found there. TED is a "small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading". If you think this is interesting, just go to www.ted.com and see for yourself.

Anyway, on the above site, you can find hundreds of interesting talks and performances at divers TED conferences, or other occasions. They focus on innovative, interesting, creative ideas in technology, business, art, and all other scopes of today's life. These ideas should help us change the way we think, the way we see the world, the way we think. They can and should inspire changes.

Long story short, with this thread I wanted to introduce this website to you. If you know this site, you already know, how interesting it is and can be. I would like in this thread to make it possible for all of us to post their favourite videos from the site, or those that you have just found interesting, start discussions about some of these videos, or just purely entertain.


To start off with something not too heavy, but rather more entertaining and very creative, I would like to introduce one of my favourite videos. It's a video on a nice game, The Siftables.

(Can someone maybe show how to embed this video, if it is acceptable of course, I would not like to overload some of my fellow sibling's machines?).

Enjoy!

TED is one guilty pleasure of a few siblings including me. 

They allow html embed but to my knowledge that doesn't work with the forum. Perhaps a feature to ask to SMF?
