Poll: What will change our future the most, the fastest?

At TED2014, we challenged attendees to vote on 10 potential drivers of change in the next 30 years, via that enormously sophisticated piece of technology: the sticky note. As we could likely have predicted, there wasn't much consensus among those in Vancouver, but the range of opinions was vast and intriguing. And what do you think? Take the...

Listening to Picasso: Neil Harbisson at TEDGlobal2012

"I've never seen color and I don't know what color looks like. I come from a grayscale world," says artist Neil Harbisson, to gasps from the audience. Yet this is not an "oh me miserum" story. Instead, Harbisson is here to tell us that in 2003, he started a collaborative project to create an electronic eye to help him detect the color freque...

This is what happened when we posted Monica Lewinsky's TED Talk

As TED’s social media editor, I have seen a lot of nasty comments. I’ve seen grown men and women deride a 14-year-old girl for her choice of dress. I’ve seen them say they're revolted by a beautiful transgender woman. On every talk about race, I’ve seen a slew of racist comments. But none have ever been as bad as the comments we got when we publ...

TED Weekends wonders: Can you reset your brain?

One morning when she woke up, Jill Bolte Taylor felt pain behind her left eye similar to what she’d felt biting into an ice cream cone. Soon, her own appearance -- from her hands to her reflection -- felt utterly bizarre to her.

Taking back the Republic: Larry Lessig at TED2013

He's here to talk about Lesterland, a fictional land with a population of 311 million people of whom th...
