Just started watcheing TED talks , which is essentially the spreading of good ideas. I know most people will be too busy watching soaps and reality / Lowest Commom Demonitor TV to take any notice of using TED to expand their mental horizons , but it is both educational and entertaining and long may it run. That's why I chose the Neil Young / Stephen Stills song. Well worth a visit you will find something that takes your interest and YOU WILL learn something
This is the mission statement lifted from their web site:
"TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth
Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference
bringing together people from three worlds:
Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then

conferences -- the TED Conference on the West Coast each spring, and the TEDGlobal conference in
Edinburgh UK each summer -- TED includes the
award-winning TED Talks video site, the Open Translation
Project and TED Conversations, the inspiring TED Fellows
and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize."
