There is this conference called TED. TED stands fot technology, education and design. It’s been going on since 1984 and the scope continues to grow. It brings together some of the greatest thinkers, doers, and innovators from around the world together in one place. They post the video from each speech on the site.

This link is to one of the speeches (and it’s pretty short for TED, around 4 1/2 minutes), done by Alisa Miller, who is the head of Public Radio International. It discusses what news organizations cover - how though we want to know more about the world around us, what we get is much less than we want. All TED talks are interesting, some open your eyes. The maps in this one are astonishing. Enjoy.
