https://grey-panther.net/2009/04/interesting-videos.html Just another WordPress site Sun, 19 Apr 2009 10:12:33 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 https://grey-panther.net/2009/04/interesting-videos.html#comment-417 Sun, 19 Apr 2009 10:12:33 +0000 https://grey-panther.net/?p=313#comment-417 it’s even more than you’ll expect at first sight, the TED conferences cover the hottest topics and gathers the leading people in every domain. also, as opposed to google talks which, beside being with the people who get the most votes (so many employees have to know the speaker or be interested in the subject), are also kind of boring and take an hour of your life, TED is both entertaining and informative (check http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_you_ve_ever_seen.html for example. which later, with some help from google, becamed a free web application at http://tools.google.com/gapminder). actually you can almost use TED to be “up to date” with the scienctific developments (hypothetical scenario: Ariely creates a hype with “predictably irrational” in late 2008 in a domain you’re not following closely. in april 2009 you’ll have it on TED. oh, wait, it’s not hypothetical)
