Tomorrow's Tapestry

TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged and today covers almost all topics - from science to business to global issues - in more than 100 languages. TED is a non-profit organisation developed to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less) and believes passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and ultimately, the world. It is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world.
