Throughout my college education a lot of my professors depended on Ted Talks to spark class conversations and get our minds to start asking the “right” questions and move into a creative mental space to start the day. If you have never heard of Ted Talks then I am excited to be the first to introduce you…(although it is likely that you’ve stumbled across one on your social networks.) I don’t know about you, but sometimes television, music, or the movie you missed in the theaters on Netflix or HboGo just doesn’t cut it.
Sometimes as a restless thinker, when nothing else does the job, I turn to Ted Talks to get not only ideas flowing but also to get an insight into what is going on in the world around me. Often these videos allow me to step outside of my own shoes and see the world through the eyes of the individuals that surround us. I like to be aware, often open minded, and have a positive outlook towards theories and ideas that just might change the world. Forward thinking and human imagination is extremely important to me and this is what Ted celebrates. Take the moment to listen to these stories or ideas of the individuals below, you will find that they might have something noteworthy to offer you. Ted Talks are much more than the sum of its parts, so by all means do your own exploring.
