I’m excited and honored to be a 2009 TEDIndia Fellow!See the complete list of TEDIndia Fellows. TEDIndia conference will take place in Mysore, India, in November, 2009. The lineup of fellow participants seems really interesting and am looking forward to meet them.
One of the first posts on this blog was a comment on "Simplicity" using David Pogue's TED Talk - of course, linked to the air pollution concerns.
The inspiring conference features some of the world’s biggest thinkers and doers. Over the years, My wife and I’ve spent many hours downloading and watching videos from TED that include
- Sir Ken Robinson on how schools kill creativity
- Al Gore on averting climate crisis
- Hans Rosling on best development statistics and gapminder
- Jonathan Harris on web secret stories
- Vilayanur Ramachandran on how the brain functions
- Doris Kearns Goodwin on the two presidents - work, love, & play
- Jimmy Wales on the birth of Wikipedia
- David Pogue on how simplicity sells
