Speaker: Chris Anderson

I want to start by saying that It hasn`t been too long since I discovered TED but I`m sure that well keep on seeing the positive effects of speeches like this one floating around the web. Through these videos/posts people are not just able to learn about a certain topic but can also reply, send a video back or even create their own TED event. The speaker Chris Anderson is a funny but intelligent fellow from England.

He inspired the audience by telling them that there`s more to the world and TED than we would think and that we must use technology to our advantage. There is a great example from the video, the world and all of us that are living in it. If you just look at a number of people without interaction just doing their own thing, there wont be too much innovation. But If you look at the individual people and their unique taste, hobbies and past experiences. You can see how the Internet allows us to share out thoughts instantly through videos like this one. Like Chris said the little 6-year-old boy was just a fan of breakdancing but through his interaction with the world, putting up his video he reached a level of dancing he could`ve never been able to. Social Networking is becoming huge and we must use it to our advantage.

I definitely agree with the speaker and how we need to share our passion/skills with others through the web. Therefore helping others while getting feedback on our own topic. Adversity is being overcome on many levels. First of all there`s a broad range of different types of people/counties in the video not to mention the multiple languages and how more people in more countries can watch TED now!

I also really liked the whole Kenya TED movement and how we`re able to communicate in even more ways with the way HD video and technology has been evolving. Needless to say the Web is moving at such a high speed therefore allowing us to exchange information and share the passion we have. This speech definitely helped me to develop a deeper understanding of the speakers’ topics through their entertaining speech and all of the visual effects. Personally I liked the drawings/animation/flow of the presentations. I know the Internet and web videos are still evolving but seeing what technology enabled us to do thus far keeps me wondering what could be next?
