TED Talks
Since I became introduced to TED Talks, I just can't get enough of them! For those that aren't familiar, TED Talks are produced out of worldwide conferences with the desire to have experts in various fields share "ideas worth spreading."
Their mission statement begins,
We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world. So we're building here a clearinghouse that offers free knowledge and inspiration from the world's most inspired thinkers, and also a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other.
While it would be exciting if everyone could attend the conferences, membership and registration fees can be quite high; as an alternative, TED puts all their "talks" online for the viewing pleasure of anyone who has internet access. As of November 13, 2012, TED Talks have received a combined total of over a billion views. PSU even has their own TED conference during the Spring semester.
To view some of the talks I've saved, check my playlist out here; I've kept the playlist on YouTube so that I can add material with greater ease and share talks with you for maximum viewing convenience.
