Videos Worth Watching



I love watching TED talks.

What is TED ? TED is a small nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading.

It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with the annual TED Conference in Long Beach, California, and the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford UK, TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Program, the new TEDx community program, this year's TEDIndia Conference and the annual TED Prize. You can watch more videos at their sites TED .


Here are three talks that I have seen lately. They are about 18 minutes each.


Kavita Ramdas talking about ( Radical women, Embracing Tradition )



Roz Savage: Why I'm Rowing




Esther Duflo: Social experiments to Fight Poverty ( her accent is so thick ,she is French,and you can not understand her easily at times, so you can click on translation and got the English one)
