It started for me with TED.
John Jay at Wieden+Kennedy explained “TED talks” to me at a planning retreat I was facilitating last winter. He was enthused. “I download them and listen to them when I need inspiration,” he said. Then others in the room started talking about this TED talk – or that TED talk. I wrote down the website TED.com. Easy.

The TED talks are delivered by experts – some you’ve heard of, others you haven’t. What they all have in common is a capacity to communicate, and each talk focuses on “an idea worth sharing”.
TED woke me up to the wonders of the Internet. Oh, I had Googled before, I use email, I’ve even done some web research. But TED was something different, a quantum shift in my understanding of how the world is changing and will continue to change as ideas flash around the world, stimulating innovation and creativity.
