My Favorite TED 2010 Talks So Far

March 14th, 2010 § 0 comments § permalink

  • Up to now this is my favorite。大厨 Dan Barber 似乎有一张谐星的脸，言语表情之中都让人期待下一句会不会又是一个大包袱。这也是一个关于如何做 presentation 的好例子，有意思的个人经历+简洁的结构安排+引人惊讶的数字，通过生动诙谐的语言来展开，听众都会喜欢这样的沟通方式。关于内容，这是介绍生态渔业的全新理念。Dan Barber 站在一个大厨的角度，告诉听众到底怎样的食物才味道鲜美，同时也引申到怎样的关系才是健康可持续的。因为产出这样食材的农场主人不是大厨，不是鱼类专家，而是 an expert of relationship。
  • James Cameron talks about curiosity and the ability to imagine. 听这个演讲让我想起最近看到的另外两个quotes：
    布林评论谷歌退出中国

    I’m an optimist. I want to find a way to really work within the Chinese system and provide more and better information. I think a lot of people think I’m naive, and that may well be true, but I wouldn’t have started a search engine in 1998 if I wasn’t naive.

    罗素评论古希腊的原子论者

    The atomists thought the world is easier to understand than it is, but without this optimism they would not have had the courage to make a beginning.

  • 诺贝尔经济学奖得主 Daniel Kahneman 介绍实验经济学的新进展。
  • Photosynth 项目的负责人 Blaise Aguera 介绍新的 Bing Maps。
