Getting access to great ideas
hasn't always been easy.
Back in the day,
you would only be in the loop
if you were literate,
educated, rich, and a man.
Good thing times have changed.
The internet has made
sharing ideas a breeze.
And no one is doing it better than TED.
No, not you, Ted!
I'm talking about
the non-profit organization
that's big on spreading awesome ideas.
Twice a year, TED holds this conference,
where thought leaders
from around the world
give some mind-blowing talks.
Then TED sticks them online
so you can watch them for free.
Volunteers translate the videos,
which means anyone can
be inspired by the likes of Bill Gates,
Malcolm Gladwell or Jane Goodall.
So what is TEDx?
TEDx is a way for you to run a mini
TED-style event in your own town,
hold talks around issues
that matter to your community,
free from corporate, political
and religious agendas.
So take part!
Don't stop watching videos at TED.com,
keep an eye for your
nearest TEDx events and
if you are up to it,
apply to start your own.
TED.
Ideas worth spreading.
