In the current scenario, people are busy in keeping pace with the increasing competition. No one has enough time to spend on reading columns in newspapers, sharing thoughts with their companions and listen to others. In this time, a source of information is required that can provide a variety of information in less time to keep you updated with what is going on in the world; TED Talks is one of a kind that source. It offers short video content that is easily accessible over the web.
TED is a conference series and stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design. It was the brainchild of Richard Saul Wurman, who began it in 1984. Later, Chris Anderson acquired TED in 2001. He manages all the conferences and acts as the guardian for the thousands of TED talks that can be accessed anytime at TED.com. Speakers at TED events are provided 18 minutes to share their thoughts, deliver their messages that are highly polished and crisp. The main motto behind conducting these events is to inspire, challenge and be thought-provoking.
TED matters a lot as it is evident. One of the TED speakers, Salman Khan (Founder Of Khan Academy), whose main aim is to bring world-class education, online and that too free on this planet, has shared once that before his TED speech, his site has drawn only 6.9 million students. Now, more than 140 million students take online courses through his portal. And, the site is getting enrollment of 10 million new students each month. Many others share that their lives and causes were impacted dramatically for the better after their TED speeches.
The biggest reason TED matters is the actual impact it has had on the millions of lives; especially for the past eight years as TED talk shows are posted online for free. Also, TED organizers have received thousands of letters, emails, and reviews from people explaining how one or more TED talks have impacted their lives positively for the better. So, keep visiting TED.com and keep yourself motivated for your future endeavors.
