Anyone interested in the TED talks?

Go view one from Pamela Meyer: How to spot a liar.

This should assist in day to day life. Very interesting indeed!

I have added this in the title. The things she says I am going to keep it in mind. I would rather have a world where people don't lie. Pamela is spot on with what she says.

Think I have watched most of them - some really good lectures on there.

I watch them on my iPad and they are amazing, every single talk is great to watch.

Talks that stand out -

- How life might appear on other plants
- 'This is broken'
- One of the survivors talking about what went through his mind as their plane crashed landed into the Hidson river

Some of them are OK, I wish they went into more detail in most talks though.

I enjoy them, have watched a few and i've seen quite a lot that i've thought to myself 'i must watch that later' but they're rather long and i never seem to get round to it. Does the Wadsworth Constant apply?

The Wadsworth Constant always applies!

Hmm, Gordon Brown got in for a couple of talks.

Gordon Brown on global ethic vs. national interest got rated Unconvincing and Inspiring

Gordon Brown: Wiring a web for global good is rated Inspiring and Persuasive

Funny that Tony never got invited for any, always thought he was much more of a stage guy. Lack of substance?

To be fair Hotwired, not many politicians do make it to TED talks. Can you guess why?

The best talks on TED (in my opinion) are;

- Ken Robinson's two talks
- Benjamin Zander on music and passion
- Malcolm Gladwell on spaghetti sauce
- Blaise Aguera y Arcas demos Photosynth
- Ed Ulbrich: How Benjamin Button got his face
- David Gallo shows underwater astonishments

That's all I can think of at the minute. Ken Robinson's are brilliant - extremely funny and he's an excellent speaker. Make sure you watch the earlier one first.
