There is nothing else on the internet quite like TED talks, simply because of the broad spectrum of ideas that they cover. I learn something awesome every time I watch, and I think if everyone watched them, it would open their minds up a bit.

Just wanted to see if anybody else on NT watches them, and if so, post your favorites.

EDIT: I have no idea how to post videos, so i'm gonna post links, and hopefully someone will help me out.

I don't listen to music during my morning commute, I watch TED talks on my phone. Especially inspiring ones on success and how to attain it.

Sometimes they try to boil success down to a formula too much...
 
Yea TED talks are much appreciated. It was one of the very first apps I downloaded when I got my phone.
 
About TED Radio Hour

An idea is the one gift that you can hang onto even after you've given it away. Welcome to TED Radio Hour – a journey through fascinating ideas: astonishing inventions, fresh approaches to old problems, new ways to think and create.


Stephen Voss/NPR
Host Alison Stewart

Based on Talks given by riveting speakers on the world-renowned TED stage, each show is centered on a common theme – such as the source of happiness, crowd-sourcing innovation, power shifts, or inexplicable connections – and injects soundscapes and conversations that bring these ideas to life. Host Alison Stewart talks with each speaker to probe how ideas make waves and get inside people's heads to open up a whole new picture.

TED Radio Hour is a co-production of NPR and TED.

been watching all day since I saw the porn experiment video posted in another thread
 
much appreciated, with the variety of topics & perspectives on those topics there is something of interest for seemingly everyone...

this ted talk was the one that both introduced me to ted & freakonomics:

 
I've actually got really into this during last semester because my professor always showed videos in class. Good stuff.
 
Came in here for the topic, not for how many pages. There is pretty much a TED talk for anything, not around a computer but my professor showed one every couple days and there's one with this dude in England I believe who could drive blind folded with someone in the passenger seat. Apparently "using her eyes" to see the road. Buddys hittin curves corners and everything.
 
Ken Robinson - Changing Education Paradigms. My favorite one by far. blew my kids' minds.
