This past year I have been hooked on watching TED videos. TED is now a staggering global platform for spreading ideas related originally to Technology, Entertainment and Design and now much more from the humanities to history, arts and other subjects. As a non profit now owned by a guy born in Pakistan to American parents it is an amazing tool that allows people from all walks of life to find a voice.
Our kid, a speech writer and competitor at many local and state meets draws inspiration from the TED content, and presented at a local chapter. It also serves to boost self confidence.
All that became my inspiration to check out this vast treasure of diverse ideas and perspectives that was a click of a mouse away.
I want to list a few stories that were memorable, and likely the readership might have already stumbled on but are worth mentioning -

- Chimamanda from Nigeria spoke about the problem of stereotype -
- A tale of two Americas by Anand G (an American born to Indian parents) -
- finally some levity and magic
- and a bit of misdirection from Apollo
