Everybody always wonders where the next trend, what the next thing is…
It’s TED…
Many of you must be thinking, TED? You mean some fellow named TED? No, not some fellow named TED. I am saying TED: Small ideas worth spreading.
It is a brilliant new soapbox that talks about our society. It is neither liberal, nor conservative. It is what it is. For example I listened to a talk from Becky Blanton, and was completely moved.
Or how about the landscape of oil.
The two talks are what they are. They are not making a judgement, but making a statement. They are showing and talking about things that we rarely even stop to think about. And what I like about TED is that it is a reflection of what the challenges will be, not what we hope our challenges will be.
For example, I always thought that it was the oil companies that were blocking our movement away from oil. But after seeing the landscape of oil, I am wondering if the real problem is society. From seeing the pictures the momentum behind oil is massive. It touches absolutely everything in our society. Thus I wonder if to move away from oil we need to change our thought process, just like Edward Burtynsky was saying…
Small ideas worth spreading…
Worth the watch…
