Ted Talks - 6th Sense the future of computing

[Thor]

This just blew me away, this guy is truly a genius. The concepts and what he's already been able to do are simply astounding.



Anything think we should have an ongoing TED Talks thread or is that maybe to specific to be used often...

I will watch your video later, but if we are talking about the future of computing, no discussion is complete without mentioning Ray Kurzweil.

[Thor]

Kurzweil is beginning to make me wonder about him, he recently said we will be able to backwards engineer the human brain in about 10 years time.

No doubt he's been entertaining and often thought provoking about the future of technology though.

I love TED talks. I remember my GF and I wanted to attend one once but they seem really hard to get into.

There's enough amazing TED talks that I think a thread on it would be perfectly justified

This TED talk is very old. (but awesome that you saw it and liked it - TED talks are awesome.
I went to a TEDx at the UofC but it was only so-so. I did get to see an iPad in the wild though (when they were only available in the states to boot!)

While we're on the subject: Ken Robinson gave what I would say was probably the best TED speech ever.

[Thor]

Yeah Robinson's is one of my favorites, here's another favorite one.
