TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a gathering of sorts that began almost 25 years ago. It is a conference that brings together people from the Technology, Entertainment and Design sectors, but its reach has become much, much bigger! This yearly conference is the gathering place of some of the world's most fascinating people. Those movers and shakers have 18 minutes to wow the crowd through a presentation to an audience. Currently there are over 200 talks that are freely available to the public with more being added each week. I have already watched dozens already, all of which have been fascinating!
The latest TED talk that I watched was just great. It highlighted the thinking, research and development stages along with all the engineering of an amazing dinosaur toy that will be hitting the shelves soon. The creator of the toy dinosaur, Caleb Chung, reminds of the work of my brother-in-law who now teaches Electronic Media at Union College in New York.
