We live in the era of information, everything you want to know, from making an atomic bomb to LSD or how to give a girl an orgasm in 23 different ways is on the interwebs. New media, like youtube and TED.com, started a digital revolution when they got information you only see in boring text books or class rooms and put it in short videos that are fun and inspiring to watch. I learned so much from TED that I shared it with all my friends, and now I want to share it with you. TED fits in all prerequisites of the western world, its quick (max 20 min.), fun, easy and usefull. Ofcourse there is one downfall with this, you see it, learn from it but remember just a little bit and most of the time its hard to put the information into your practical daily life.
Thats why I want to start a TED discussion group, we start with 10 people for now (so 9 more, first come, first serve!). A general blueprint will look something like this; Every week the discussion starter picks 3 TED talks. In the first 24 hours the first 9 apply to the topic and pick one they will find interesting. Second 24 hours they watch it and give their first impression and from there on out a discussion will start. If you are too late for one group, you can always start another one, and ofcourse it doesn’t have to be limited to TED, it can also be fora.tv, bigthink or any other source. Different people different tastes!
