TED: Ideas worth spreading

TED: Technology, Education, Design Again I find myself appreciating the TED talks as the single best internet source of science information. If you have little time, this site will give you the most in the least. They simply make free to the public, the videos of their many conferences. Their genius is they require their speakers to condense their presentations from the usual hour to 18 minutes. Over the near decade of their existence their excellence in topic and presenter has attracted more excellence - both in the conferences and in their sponsorship.

An even better way to enjoy TED than an on-line visit(above link), is to subscribe. MIRO - 5000 Free Web Video Magazines. Select those sources of interest to you - very well presented and easy. Then they simply come into your computer to be looked at when you have time. In addition they are usually High Definition. And unlike the on-line presentation, you can pick your way through it quickly like paging through a magazine to the parts of interest.
