T.E.D.

There was nothing really important about today's classes: we got back the results from the GL AIDS case and then had a discussion about Monsanto's "terminator" seeds; DA didn't bring too much happiness in our lives either, so time went by slower than in other days.

This being, said, today's post will move towards something more interesting and probably more important for our lives. It will be about TED!! Who is TED? Today I came across this video, which I had seen before, but I wanted to find out what this is all about. I will explain this to you.

If you wonder how it would be possible to live forever in heaven without being bored and thought that being able to speak with smart people and see cool things would be entertaining, I can tell you that TED is as close at it can gets to this dream. It's a place where one can speak with the most amazingly smartest people on the planet. This conference is the very pure essence of technology and design as you will see from a promotional video from the conference in 2006.

TED is a 4 day event in Monterey, CA which brings together just the freshest ideas from not only in the T, E and D but also in in Business, Science or Arts or any other subject that has something to show off. The best professors, the best speakers, the best ideas in every field that requires imagination... eveything is there in one place, one a year; THIS IS AMAZING!

The bad part is that in order to participate, you will need an invitation which might not be as hard to obtain but you will have to pay $4,400 to attend a conference. People say it is worth all the money in the world! WOW Hey if you just thought that you might want to attend the 2007 conference, please notice that it's already sold out :)
I am not going to tell you more about TED, please visit the website http://www.ted.com and you will not regret it. If you are a blog person, you can also check http://tedblog.typepad.com/ (the TED blog).

This is a little movie I posted today so you can get an understanding of what is going on over there. While this is very interesting, it is only one of the few things that happen in there. Check it out:

This technology basically tries to revolutionize the way we use devices and I think it will definitely change our way of living in the future. Amazing isn't it?
