The best TED talks

I have compiled a list of the most interesting TED talks I have watched so far. There's a talk about gaming, a couple about data visualization and a few about brains. There's a talk by F-Secure's Mikko Hyppönen and one by the skeptic James Randi. MythBuster Adam Savage's talk is also featured. It's not about robots but there's another one about them as well. Currently there are thirteen talks but I'll probably update the list as I encounter more good enough talks. Watch one or a few, let me know what you think about them and also feel free to suggest new talks for me to watch!

TED: Ideas worth spreading

TED is a non-profit organization arranging conferences where the top experts of various fields give short, 10 to 20 minute talks on all kinds of topics. TED is short for "technology, entertainment and design", but the scope has expanded vastly since the original conference back in 1984. I have been watching the TED talks with my smartphone using the TED Air app, but they are viewable at the TED website as well.

If you now got even slightly interested I recommend starting with a short talk and a familiar topic. I'll make it really easy for you and post a suitable video right here. The talk is called Doodlers, unite! and it's just six minutes long:

Now, I haven't watched that many talks yet but they have all been very fascinating. Jill Bolte Taylor's stroke of insight, for example, is, as far as I understand, regarded as one of the best TED talks ever. I'm tempted to give more suggestions on what to watch but as I haven't watched even ten talks myself I'll just give you a link to the most viewed TED talks which should be a good starting point for finding some interesting ideas worth spreading.
