By John Brandon August 27, 2010 06:00 AM ET Computerworld - If you've been around the Web awhile, you've probably heard of TED conferences. They're events organized by a small New York nonprofit called TED Conferences where audiences get to hear the ideas of illustrious thinkers and speakers from the worlds of technology, entertainment and design (thus the acronym TED).
The talks given at these gatherings have a few distinctions: Many are by noted luminaries and professors, they last less than 20 minutes, and the subject matter is wide and varied, from feeding the world to finding aliens. TED Talks videos show some of the most intriguing presentations from the many TED events -- the main TED conference held every spring in Long Beach, Calif., the TEDGlobal conference in Oxford, England, in July and an ongoing series of local gatherings around the world, collectively known as TEDx events. The TED site rolls out more videos all the time -- there are now more than 700 online. Marcin Jakubowski: Open-sourced blueprints for civilization. Mick Ebeling: The invention that unlocked a locked-in artist. Sam Harris: Science can answer moral questions.
