The TED TALK that I’ve seen is called “This app makes it fun to pick up litter”, by Jeff Kirschner.
First, he starts talking about the story that makes him start his project. He make a Picture of a cigarret and posted it on instagram, and after that he posted fifty mor pictures of litter; people started doing the same, and he realize about the possibilities of the idea. He create an app: “Litterati”, that it’s like an instagram but of litter pictures. Every photo have information about ‘who?’, ‘where?’, ‘what?’, and ‘when?’. With this information you can make studies about the litter in your zone and act in consequence.
Forget multitasking, try monotasking. In this video talks an educator and speaks to us who does multitasking and he asks us if doing multitasking was efficient? He tell us that in some cases it would have to be done, but we lives in a multitasking world and doing monotasking we would not be efficient.
In my conclusion is that if we do a monotasking we will do it better than if we are doing a multitasking since we do not pay all the attention in that.
The Ted Talk video I saw was about a woman who talks about her past as a muslim. She was married with a man who wasn’t the best with her and she did whatever her family and husband wanted her to do. Then something happened to her and she explains how that changed her life. She had a car accident with her husband 5 years ago and luckily her husband was alright but she almost died and ended up in a wheelchair. But she says since that her life has changed to a better way. She got stronger as a person and she decided to do what she wanted to do for once and to find her own happiness. She stared by divorcing her husband which wasn’t easy at all. Secondly she always wanted to have kids but sadly after the accident she wasn’t able to get pregnant but that didn’t stop her from being a mother and she adopted two kids as a single mum in a wheelchair which obviously wasn’t easy either. She explains how that accident, which wasn’t a good thing, made her life much better and she started having everything she wanted. At the end she says that if she could go back to the day of the accident she wouldn’t change anything because it helped her to be a woman and not the scared lady she used to be before that.
"maths is the hidden secret to understanding the world" - Roger Antonsen
Sometimes, during the learning process of mathematics, no meaning or application is found in the real world; however, they are a key piece for the functioning of our surroundings. Roger Antonsen, mathematician, takes this talk to explain how mathematics is the secret that allows us to understand the world. He talks about how important are mathematics to understand the full functionament of all in earth planet. The fact that everything can be explained by mathematics decided me to talk about that Ted Talk. I found it really interesting and a motivation video for students like me, who often ask their selves which aplication will have this lots of things in his future.
Dementia is a mental illness suffered by a minority of people over 60 years. It carries symptoms such as aggressivity and personality disorders. Beth Malone knows them very well, when her father was only 65 years old, he was told he had this syndrome and five years after he was ordered to move to a special care center with elderly and other people that needed supervision. Just six months later Beth was called by the center because her dad had been accused for crime, he had thrown plants out the window braking the glass, he had pushed all the wheel-chaired women to the floor and had threatened his companions with cutting materials. After hearing this Beth started thinking what was best for her dad, whether continue living in a body that ain’t his or to finish with all his suffering killing him. After lots of thinking and consulting with her mother, sister, phsyco, a priest... she decided that it needed to be her father who decided, and so she did. She went to talk with her dad, they spoke about non-sense topics and when she thought she was ready to tell, her father said he loved her, she broke in pieces. In that moment, she realized that body and soul where attached and that neither she or her father had the power to decide when to stop living.
The artist of this Ted Talk is Fellow el Seed, who describes his ambition: to create art so beautiful that he does not need translation what this gentleman explains is that his graffiti, which he calls them calligraphy, a mixture of calligraphy and graffiti, give a beginning were translations of famous phrases of different poems, but his idea changed and only toward random drawing.
My conclusion of this Ted talk is that you are free to do what you want and that you can have control of yourself.

This ted talk, is about a man who talks about a teenager who was killed by the policemen in Missippi. But the teenager was not killed with a gun or knife, the police was using fear against him as a weapon. After his death, a lot of black people came together in a rally to seek for justice about this young man’s death. But when the police came, everybody started running, and that was when Damon thought that fear was the only thing that controlled them. He saw a lot of people trying to escape so that police won’t get them, but he also saw few people standing on their feet, screaming, and he thought that these people were being brave. So he did the same, he stood where he was and screamed for justice, then, he saw that more people stayed and did the same thing. He had an idea, he photographed these people holding hands and posted it everywhere. He came to the conclusion that when you conquer your fear, you will learn how to use it and transform it into some more beautiful: courage.

The people who made this test didn't expect such a big change in traffic becouse 2€ isn't that much if we think that people normaly pay more for parking in malls, cinemas...

The title of my ted talk was: How to look intelligent when you are talking with Will Stephen. The Ted starts telling about Will are not going to talk about anything but without nothing he can make a talk interesting. With all the talk he doesn't say probably important, he only shows some images, he changes the tone while he's talking and he wears a fake glass.

In this ted talk, we can observe a man who does not explain how his graffiti has attracted the attention of many people, these graffiti medium calligraphy, half graffiti, are quotes or poems. The first one I made was in a mosque that for many years had its walls gray until this man arrived and changed it. In the appointment he painted, towards a call for peace, people paid a lot of attention, including media from all over the world, this produced that little by little he was painting in different countries, like the translation of a Portuguese portugese into Arabic. This author has made paintings that have served as a call to peace, trying to contribute his small grain of sand to the current problem.
This ted talk explains us how nowadays a big part of the people consumes video or other types of content and these become famous. He tells that nowadays many persons want to gain reputation across videos that can become popular. From this form many children from small ages already come these types of video and they dream of being famous once be they are bigger. This ted talk explains how these videos offer what the consumer wants to see so if they open youtube searching pranks they will have pranks. So that makes de video creator to do what he is asked to. Many videos that have become famous do not make sense at all and that sometimes is the reason why they have more success. It is not necessary to be perfect, they just have to attract the attention of the spectator I think this ted talk is interesting to see the importance of how technologies affect society
Are athletes really getting faster, better, stronger?
This video explains us the truth of the supposed better performance that the athlets nowadays have, compared with the 50 years ago runners, swimmers, jumpers... The man who talks, show some graphics where we can see how the records of the different disciplines that there are in olimpic games, have been in general reducing their time, increasing the distance... He explains us the reasons why nowadays athlets have better results. One of the cause is that technology have changed a lot in 50 years, for example, the ground where runners compete is better because 50 years ago, it was was done of ground, which slows down the velocity, another example, are the swimsuits, wich are tightter than many years ago. Another reason, is that everybody in general have more healthy concepts, which allow people to have better bodies to compete. Despite the fact that athlets used to train harder, nowadyas professional athelts train three times more than they used to be. So concluding, humans are not better and more competitive now than 50 years ago, but the tecnology and the knowledges that humans have been including in sports, have contributed to beat the athletic records.
The Ted Talk I’ve seen it’s about a boy that almost die in a plane accident. In the talk he explains what he has learn from that experience. Basically he talks about three specific things: firdt he says he has to live all the moments like they were the last one, the second thing it’s that he has take care of the relationships with the people he cares because you don’t know what can happen in the future and finally to become a great father to his children.
How we'll find life in others planets. Astronomer Aomawa Shields tells us that to find a planet where we can live must have the same characteristics of the earth. She models the different climates of the exoplanets, that the distances between the stars are the same, the temperature ... And that there are more factors than these to make life on a planet possible or not. It makes us a comparison with the planet Venus and that by the distance it is from the sun affects it negatively. It tells us that there is a planet that has water but it is very far away. As it is difficult to measure distances so far, there are computer programs that do studies to know if there could be life.
In my conclusion is that they will have to keep observing these planets for the future and keep looking for one closer to the earth. And because we are destroying our planet with pollution.
Mandy Len talks about an experiment that she did about falling in love, this consisted about making questions to someone who you didn’t know and stare at them for 4 minutes this whey they can experiment what will happened to the people, in one of this cases two participants got married six months after this experiment. When she tried this experiment she wasn’t expecting to fall in love, but she did. Sp she decided to post in, when she did, she was very nervous about what she was going to receive from the rest of the people. When suddenly thousands of people where so interested in her story, and begin to ask her the same question until now; “Are you still together?” People were trying to know it that really worked, not just an adventure love, but if that became her love to last, her real love. She also made some conferences in school in which one of this, a student told her that it didn’t work, he wasn’t expecting that answer. Mandy explained what she was expecting for a person when she will be in love, and that is guaranty, she wanted someone that can love her indefinitely, and this leads as to the question that all the people are asking her right now. Mandy finally talks about what is love for her, in two different versions. Falling in love is the easy part, but staying in loved is the hard one.
