“Amazing video - 20 min accelerating your creativity, and understanding the world.“
Good Morning Folks,
If you're a massive TED fan like me, you've probably watched a whole lot of the compelling talks by now. But when it comes to consuming all the insights TED has to offer, even the most dedicated enthusiasts can't hold a candle to Chris Anderson.
As the curator of TED, he's had a front row seat for nearly every presentation or performance that's graced the event's stage. Which is what makes his answer to a recent Quora member who asked "What is the top TED talk that you took away the most learnings from?"
This all time TED classic was his #1 choice.
In this prescient 2005 talk, Clay Shirky shows how closed groups and companies will give way to looser networks where small contributors have big roles and fluid cooperation replaces rigid planning. Shirky is an adjunct professor in New York Universityʼs graduate Interactive Telecommunications Program, where he teaches a course named “Social Weather.” Heʼs the author of several books. This spring at the TED headquarters in New York, he gave an impassioned talk against SOPA/PIPA that saw 1 million views in 48 hours. He's become a consistently prescient voice on networks, social software, and technology's effects on society.
Clay Shirky argues that the history of the modern world could be rendered as the history of ways of arguing, where changes in media change what sort of arguments are possible — with deep social and political implications. Have a look:
Growing a network is always good, because multiplies the brain power on any topic--being in the network helps you get the questions out to the experts and from there, the answers and ideas just begin to flow.
Watching these TED videos seems to build my creativity... Even though most of the videos have nothing to do with what we do. Incredible.
Have a GREAT Day!
Mitch
