The Ted talks I've seen this week, it's about an American litigator who practices in Afganistan. She explains three cases that she has worked in about a violation of the women's rights. For example, in one of them an Afganistan dad makes his six years old daughter marry a twenty one year old man to pay a debt with his neighbor. In this case she uses the own laws of the country to protect her clients. And that's how she proves that everyone has rights and the law must protect them. Because we all deserve justice.

In this ted talk tell the story of a US journalist who tells in his book that the CIA listened to the phone calls of the citizens and also that the CIA delivered plans of a nuclear bomb to Iran.
ResponEliminaThis revelation did not please the government of the United States, and the investigators of the journalist recommended him to testify, but he preferred to go to the jail, before testifying. Prosecutors evaded their privacy and managed to enter their emails and accounts, so they found out their supposed source of information.
The government is depriving the freedom of journalists to publish, the government always wants to do things in secret.
Finally the exhibitor shows us a web page with which the government can not access this information since it is encrypted and only the participants can access.

This man, Adam Alter, talks about the time that our screens (like the computer, phone, tv...etc.) take from us and how bad that is. But while he explains he also gives some solutions and examples of it. He explains at the beginning of the video that Steve Jobs (creator of Apple) released and promoted the IPad in 2010 and he described it as "extraordinary". Then a journalist told him that his kids must had loved the IPad and he answered saying that his kids hadn't used it yet because there is a limit of technology in their house. This is a good example that Adam uses to make people see how it should be even when we have all the new technologies at home. He also does a comparation through the years of how much time we spend in front of the screens and its obvious the growth on the last years and how much this is affecting to the new generations.

ResponEliminaHow to use a paper towel
Joe Smith teach about how to use correctly the paper towel to wipe your hands. As he sais you only need one paper towel for doing that, so if everyone of us only use one paper towel for a day we can reduce a lot the quantity of paper wasted. The sistem he use is based on two words: Shake and fold. It means that you have to shake your hands, twelve times, and next fold the towel in half to reach all the corners of your hand; he do a demostration repeating the two key words many times. He ends with a joke saying that the next year will teach how to use paper toilet.

" I got 99 problems... and palsy just one." by Maysoon Zayid
ResponEliminaMaysoon Zayid a woman who suffers from Cerebral Palsy, which means, her body shakes all the time and she can't control it, explains her life experience with her disorder in a funny way.
Her disease is not generic, but the doctor who helped her mom to give birth to her, made 6 different cuts in 6 different ways, making her suffocate inside her and coming out with CP.
She says her parents never treated her like she was disabled, her parents made her do every errand that her sisters were supposed to do. Like mopping the floor, going to school... Doctor's said she would never walk, but her father taught her at the age of 5 by standing on his feet.
She's always dreamt of being an actress, but she never got any part at the school's play. There was one time that she thought she would get one, because the main character of the play suffered CP, but she never got it, because they told her that they were worried that she couldn't do the stunts.
She explains her life in such a funny way, and she doesn't see her disorder as a reason to stop persuing her dreams. She became the first female stand up comedian from Arabia, she was invited by many important people in some TV shows in America, she acted with famous people in movies, she founded New York Arab-American comedy festival and she is now an advocate for the disabled people.

ResponElimina"technology's long tail"
This talk is now more than 10 years old, but it is still valid: the Wired editor explores in these 14 minutes the four key stages of any technology that wants to be viable: place it at an appropriate price, gain market share, displace existing technologies and become a solution.
Anderson's talk is directly culled from his book "The Long Tail Economy", in which this visionary analyzes how "the mass market is becoming a niche market".

ResponEliminaTed talk : Play “Shiritori” to Brainstorm New and Creative Ideas
This tedtalk talks about The Japanese game of shiritori which is an easy way to guide your brainstorming session, if looking for ideas for a new project.
Shiritori uses the importance of the words where you start with a word and then come up with another word that starts with the letter the first word ends with.
The talk also says that most of the ideas you’ll come up with won’t necessarily be very useful, but that’s not a problem because you just have to get new ideas that will be useful for you lately
I have liked this talk because we can see a new way to get ideas that I haven't heard before
