    A reply on Conversation: I need a TED icebreaker video! How do I get someone hooked?

    May 27 2012: I totally agree on this one...he is so passionate about music that even me that can't sing a note knows better about a note now and definitely not referring to the monetary one...

    May 27 2012: Great idea !

    Very difficult to pick one from so many but my suggestion would be about The Venus Project by Jaque Fresco.

    It surely would stimulate young minds creativity and will give hope for a future where the Resouce-Based-Economy model is of the essence.

    I haven't looked at the one by Sir Ken Robinson that says schools kill creativity but i feel it goes hand in hand with what my suggestion is.
