This is a talk from a TED conference by Massimo Banzi, who helped invent the Arduino. You can read the original article on GeekBoy.it or just watch the video below.
Now, I’d never heard of TED, so here’s what Wikipedia says about it:
“TED is a global set of conferences owned by the private non-profit Sapling Foundation, formed to disseminate “ideas worth spreading.” TED was founded in 1984 as a one-off event. The annual conference began in 1990, in Monterey, California.”
I’m surprised you have missed TED up to now. I find it an an amazing source of impressive presentations (and, of course, some that are “ho-hum”). One of the things I have had a go at in the past on my other blog ( blog.punchbarrel.com ) is “TEDcember”: watch and blog about a different TED video every day in December. Fun _and_ informative!
Yep, TED’s completely new to me!
I’ll have to have a go at TEDcember this year, methinks 🙂
