TED - Videos of World-Class Speakers by Jim Pinto

TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) started in 1984 as a conference in Monterey, California, bringing together the world's brightest minds, the thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in just 18 minutes). These are all available on the TED website, with a dazzling video player technology.

Here are some of my favorite speakers and their subjects:

Jeff Bezos, Amazon - On the next web innovation
Dean Kamen - Inventing and Giving
Ray Kurzweil - How Technology will transform us
Jimmy Wales - the birth of Wikipedia
Al Gore - Averting the Climate crisis
Jane Goodall - what separates us from the apes
Tony Robbins - why we do what we do
E.O.Wilson - on saving the Earth
Craig Venter - DNA and the sea
Nicholas Negroponte - One laptop per child

Every year, TED names three new recipients for the TED Prize. Their acceptance talks, where they reveal their wish to change the world are on the TED website, available free, with a click.

More than 100 talks are available, with more added each week. These videos are released under a Creative Commons license, so they can be freely shared and reposted.

Jeff Bezos' motivation was infectious when he stood in front of me on my 23" screen and talked to me for 18 minutes. I've seen Ray Kurzweil talking in person, and on a stage - this was better. Have you been to a Tony Robbins sales seminar? Here he is - in your face! And Dean Kamen and Craig Venter and many others.
