    Maybe it'll help if people know what it is. I thought it was Father Ted! :52:

    TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is an annual conference that defines its mission as "ideas worth spreading". The lectures, also called TED talks, cover a broad set of topics including science, arts and design, politics, culture, business, global issues, technology and development, and entertainment. Speakers come from a similarly wide variety of communities and disciplines.

    Woody Norris shows off two of his inventions that treat sound in new ways, and talks about his untraditional approach to inventing and education. As he puts it: "Almost nothing has been invented yet." So -- what's next?

    I found this talk fascinating, I'm so * excited about where we are heading as a species. Technology is developing faster than ever and * knows where we will end up. :84:
