13 comentaris:

  1. The Ted Talk I've seen is about how to start a movement. The speaker explains it from the start with a simple video example where there's a boy dancing alone in the crowd and suddenly lots of people start joining him. With this example, he manages to explain every single step and important facts that we have to know before starting a movement.

  4. It's time for the "The talk" - Julia Sweeney

    Julia Sweeney is a comedian who is forced to say little white lies to her daughter, Mulan.
    She explains how her daughter was curious about the human reproduction, and it all started when Mulan was telling her about the frogs reproduction that she was studying in school.
    Julia starts explaining to her daughter how it's done, by introducing the reproductive organ of a male to the female. Her daughter was shocked. She also told her that the humans don't lay eggs, like the frogs.
    Mulan knew she was adopted, and she asked her mother is she still does "it" since she knew her mother couldn't have kids, because Julia told her that people did it to make babies.
    The little girl asked more questions, like do cats and dogs do the same thing. So they watched videos of cats and dogs mating in youtube. But then she asked her mother if they could watch one with real people, and she told her that that isn't going to happen.

  5. Are you looking for a job? Highlight your ability, not your experience

    Very few of us have jobs aligned perfectly with our previous experiences or what we study at university. An example of this is TED resident Jason Shen; He studied biology, but now he is a program manager in a technology company. In this quick but profound talk about human potential, he shares some new ideas on how to find workers with an emphasis on ability over credentials can lead us to hire great employees.

    This TED talk is about education and how it would be. The protagonist is Christopher Emdin, a teacher.

    Christopher says, that everyone has the secret magic to captivate and teach at the same time, and it is a skill that we often do not teach to educators. A teacher, now an advocate of science and co-founder of Science Genius B.A.T.L.E.S. With the GZA, Emdin offers a vision to make the classroom come alive. And he explains how it may be a nice teacher for his pupils.

    This Ted talk is very interesting if you're thinking about to be a teacher or if you're. I recommend it a lot, and I enjoyed it.

  7. Caroline Weaver explains in this tedtalk why the pencil is perfect.
    She says that the story of the pencil started with graphite, they cut it into small sticks and they wrapped it with paper and they sold it on London.
    A french person found another aplication with graphite, he mixed it with water, and made a paste. The result of this was a graphite core, since that moment, the process of making a pencil is the same nowadays.
    Something that makes more perfect the pencil is the eraser.
    Every pencil has a story, and everyone has a pencil.

  8. “Looks aren't everything. Believe me, I'm a model.”

    Cameron, what she explains in this Ted Talk is the influence of being a model in her life and how this has affected by the time she is getting dressed, to explain it she explains a bit about her life, where she grew up ... She also explains what is for her to dress with confidence.

  9. The Ted Talk I've seen talks about atmospheric scientist Brian Toon explains how even a small nuclear war could destroy all life on earth -- and what we can do to prevent it. A professor in the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at the University of Colorado-Boulder, Brian Toon investigates the causes of the ozone hole, how volcanic eruptions alter the climate, how ancient Mars had flowing rivers, and the environmental impacts of nuclear war. He contributed to the U.N.’s Nobel Peace Prize for climate change and holds numerous scientific awards, including two NASA medals for Exceptional Scientific Achievement.

  11. In the ongoing debate over refugees, we hear from everyone, from politicians who pledge border controls to citizens who fear they'll lose their jobs, everyone, that is, except migrants themselves. Journalist and TED Fellow Yasin Kakande explains what compelled him and many others to flee their homelands, urging a more open discussion and a new perspective. Because humanity's story, he reminds us, is a story of migration: "There are no restrictions that could ever be so rigorous to stop the wave of migration that has determined our human history," he says.

  12. Why the pencil is perfect.
    She said that the sound that the pencil makes when writing is a special feature.
    The pencil is a very simple object but they have had to spend many years to see it as it is today.
    He begins to explain the history of the pencil and says that everything starts with the graphite.
    At first the pencils were round until they saw that it was better to make them hexagonal.
    In my opinion is that the pencil was a great invention, the good thing about being able to write and if you mess up being able to erase and it was a big step for people to start writing.

  13. The Ted talk I've seen is presented with an eleven year old boy called Birke. He talks about the food industry and how the corporations affect to our food system and the fact that we should change it because it's dangerous for our health. He concludes that the solution to this problem is buying the food to a local and green producers so we know where does it come from.
