|Inspiring Tech Talks,
A fantastic DVD with some of the worlds brightest thinkers and doers. I rented from netflix and have preordered a copy from Amazon. Highlights from very intelligent 20 minute conference talks – covering topics of creativity, and proposed solutions to world problems. The TED conference brings movers and shakers together, then real world organizations and solutions are realized. It was also refreshing to see the “follow-up”, and what has been done since the 2006 conference. It is wonderful that this conference is finally getting some exposure – outside of the 1000 “invite only” attendees. See also ted.com

|One of many efforts to create a better world.,
This film does a great job of introducing people to one of the many gatherings taking place to work on a wide-range of pressing issues.
TED is one of the more exclusive gatherings, with tickets costing several hundred dollars, so this DVD provides the viewer a “pass” for just a few dollars. One of my favorite segments featured a person in Brooklyn who is working to green her neighborhood.
In addition to the TED conference, there are gatherings like the Green Festivals, various sustainable living events, “peak oil” conferences, international events like the “World Social Forum”, the Bioneers conference The Bioneers: Declarations of Interdependence and much else.

|Hopeful visions for the future,
This is a documentary I would recommend to almost anyone interested in technology, the environment and finding solutions to many of the world’s most pressing problems. The TED conference is an annual event of short talks by leading scientists, business leaders and others with innovative ideas for making positive changes.
This fairly short film only shows a snapshot of the conference. I’d like to have an unabridged version. Still, the pieces shown are inspiring and thought provoking. The presenters include Al Gore, Anthony Robbins, Matt Groenig, as well as representatives from companies such as Netflix and Amazon. Of course, the most impressive and radical presentations were not made by any of the latter, but by lesser known geniuses in the sciences, technology and architecture. I found it a little annoying that Gore, who was given an extra chance to speak at the end (and attempted a kind of stand-up routine), was treated like the star of the whole conference. Whatever you think of Gore as a politician and environmentalist, I think he is more of a spokesperson for ideas than a genuine innovator or visionary himself. Still, I suppose that’s the way the world works; it’s necessary to have well known people to spread important ideas and politicians are generally better equipped to do this than techies, scientists and computer wizards, no matter how brilliant.
Some of the ideas presented include a plan to make $100 laptops available to all students; preventing the outbreak of future pandemics such as bird flu; new architectural models to combat homelessness around the world; creating safer burning fuels than charcoal, which apparently kills many people with its toxicity; a model for computer screens that respond to two-handed motions to replace the mouse…these are only a few highlights I recall.
The TED conference also has an online community that you can join to stay updated about some of the most creative and positive developments in the world (just do a search for TED). With all of the negative and anxiety-producing news that comes out every day, this kind of thinking is especially needed.
