TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, starting over 30 years ago as a Technology, Entertainment and Design conference with the aim to get your idea across in a short, powerful talk in 18 minutes or less. They’ve somewhat diverged from that a little in the sense that talks now cover almost all topics including science, politics and global issue to name a few, and occasionally a talk can go on a couple of minutes past the 18 minute mark.
There are now over 3100 different talks at your fingerprints, if you go here you can look through topics to find one that takes your fancy.
