Introduction to TED Talks

Read about TED below:

TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less).

TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages.

TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world.

We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world.

In fact, everything we do is driven by this goal: How can we best spread great ideas?
