    A comment on Talk: Thomas Suarez: A 12-year-old app developer

    Nov 30 2011: You are a great speaker, knowing how to attract people's attention and interest ! You did not intend to do it but just know intrinsically. "I created it becuase a lot of people at school dislike Justin Bieber... 'little bit'" "These days students usually know 'a little bit' more than teachers with the technology... sorry" :D Support your dream !
  • A comment on Talk: Diane J. Savino: The case for same-sex marriage

    Oct 25 2011: She is incredible.. How I can't be in envy at America having her as a senate? I also begin to ponder about what existance I am in front of her. I want to know about her more and follow her like a role model. I respect and admire her conviction to her own belief, confidence, professional manner. And.. this is just personal opinion.. my first impression was she was look like Kate Winslet :)
  • A comment on Talk: Arthur Benjamin does "Mathemagic"

    Oct 22 2011: It is the most hilarious moment with TED talks. I would like to say I fell in love with mathmetic again and more(I have always loved it) and with you ! Thank you, mathemagician ! "another three digits number, sir?" :)
  • A comment on Talk: Eric Mead: The magic of the placebo

    Oct 22 2011: Amazing ! I even couldn not watch it ! I was like 'what are you doing?! oh.. please stop hurting yourself for just a talk. How are those audience laughing and enjoying while he is bleeding?!! And what a incrediblely strong-minded magician. He sacrefies himeself for giving an important message about magic and tricks and placebo.. whatever.' Many of you seem that you already know the trick or at least did't trust it. Am I the only one overreacting?? ...Well.. I am glad that you were not wounded, Mr Mead, anyway :)
  • A comment on Talk: Alison Gopnik: What do babies think?

    Oct 18 2011: In my opinion, we all know babies are cognitive and more intellectual and capable than our common expectation. Actually, they have memories even when they were in thier mothers' belly such as about what they were called at that time or momemts of their parent fighting.(Children begin to be not able to remember them in their age 5~6). What we are really need to and more supposed to do than researching their cleverness is to 'remind' this in our mind and not to see and appraise them though our 'already adultlike mind'(I want to call it 'arrogance') I knew these knowledges I wrote above, but I myself could not regard my little tiny bother as 'a person' but a thing that did't have mind and thought. Although I regret my behavour to him, I still have difficulty to treat him fairly on the grounds that I am just much older. What I heartly want to say is that it is important to take your knowledge to your heart as well as you know.
  • A comment on Talk: Jae Rhim Lee: My mushroom burial suit

    Oct 15 2011: You are amazing not only as a brilliant idea thinker and an artist, but as a confident speaker. I am studying biology, so few quetions arised in my mind. Since every creatures naturally go back to the earth on the way of being disassembled by decomposers, what is the problem that people are cremated 'naturally'? You mentioned that cremation cannot solve the problem of toxin storaged in our body. Are decomposers in soil(fungy, bacteria..) not enough to work? I agree mushrooms may be able to do more effeiciently, but there are some worries about prospective drawbacks from the man-ordered intensiveness. However, on the gounds that human burial culture(to bury people side by side in a small size of designated place) is against the nature, we probably need to add something to compensate which is 'your mushrooms'.. Nevertheless, we must remenber the nature is certainly not controllable, and must remind what we did in the past with arrogance and conceit of our sciencific ability.

    Anyway, I ardently support your idea :)
