Wondering if I'm the only loser who spends hours listening to them while gaming and while I'm on lunch at work I spend my time reading articles fr the TED app

yep, you are

Sad face

yes. i've seen a bunch of videos on TED, most are really interesting

love em

have a favourite?

I do, from time to time, when I run into them, like when I read Casey's topic that was mysteriously closed. I wonder why though, it was perfectly octopus on topic

I wish I could find transcripts with a few pictures though, video is just too slow

When they first came out they where ok but now they are honestly no better then the new improved discovery aka casino channel.

I dont like it

just because they subjugate topics, does not mean you can't learn from it.

There are some great talks there. I think it would be a good idea for hs teachers to have kids watch some of TED's best stuff and then discuss it. At the gr 8/9-12 stage, it could change someone's life. It can change anyone's life to watch something that sparks her or his interests, but I think the hs audience could potentially find a great deal of life direction just from seeing what they love being "done" in a different way.

I've learned from some TED talks and I've been fascinated by others. Sure, a bunch of the talks there are disappointing, but it's like a gold mine. All that glitters is not the true shizzam.
