TED should be the talk of conference-land
18 July 2007
I had no idea that a conference of TED's magnitude was going on virtually in my backyard for the last 20 years. I pretty much know every time there is an Apple/Mac show, but a conference like TED goes unnoticed.

This was an eye-opening documentary. TED features some of the most brilliant minds of our time and some of the most influential people as well. I like how very diverse the guests and the speakers were. There were guests from all over the country and all over the professional map as well. Between the inventions and the ideas that were displayed, I was thoroughly amazed.

I watched this documentary thinking that I would see the latest and greatest in technology and sneak peaks at what is around the bend, but I got to see a snippet of that plus more. I got to see and hear ideas that would help better humanity and better the world. I don't think that there was a single speaker that I wasn't impressed with, even the science professor that was talking miles over my head. It is a good documentary about a conference with great goals. With so many elite individuals you would think that the conference would be full of egos, but you never got that vibe. It seemed like everyone there was there for other than themselves. And even if some egos slipped into the conference, there were plenty of well grounded and globally conscious individuals to quickly put things into perspective and keep the egos in check.
