Each talk is usually less than 18 minutes and covers a variety of topics from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. TED is a global community who accept everyone who wants to share their thoughts and feelings about anything at all. Their goal is to allow anyone, no matter what the age, gender, or religion, to share something that will can change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. People are what make the world go round, thus by having access to such a positive resource, information may be acquired.
