For my long flight from San Francisco to Cape Town, I downloaded a few TED talks on my iPad. I picked them very quickly right before my flight, so I wasn't sure how good they were. I enjoyed almost every one of them. Here's a list, so that I remember what I watched:
- Martin Jacques: Understanding the rise of China, youtube
- Rufus Griscom and Alisa Volkman: Let's talk parenting taboos, youtube
- Nigel Marsh: How to make work-life balance work, youtube
- Christopher McDougall: Are we born to run?, youtube
- Van Jones: The economic injustice of plastic, youtube
- Anders Ynnerman: Visualizing the medical data explosion, youtube
- Bruce Feiler: The council of dads, youtube
- Elizabeth Lesser: Take "the Other" to lunch, youtube
- Cynthia Breazeal: The rise of personal robots, youtube
- Dale Dougherty: We are makers, youtube
- Johanna Blakley: Social media and the end of gender, youtube
