I came across these ideas quite accidently. In my curiosity for information, i jumped from one site to another on the net. I think most of us do the same. But one such "web-site" hooked me. It is store-house of different " ideas worth sharing", not necessarily weird.
Have a look of the ideas from the world of "Technology, Entertainment and Design", famously known as "TED"... talks, conferences.
Here is a small list that sound "wierd" from thousands of titles available
1) A Test for Parkinsons's with a Phone Call
2) Dare to Disagree
3) Is Life really that Complex?
4) The Mad Scientist of Music
5 ) Behind the Great Firewall of China
6 ) Why the X is Unknown?
7) Advice to Young Scientist
8) The Happy Secret to Better Work
9) Science versus Wonder
10) Battleing Bad Science
... and there are thousands of talks to choose from.
More about TED: (From Wikipedia)
TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design) is a global set of conferences owned by the private non-profit Sapling Foundation, formed to disseminate "ideas worth sharing."
TED was founded in 1984 as a one-off event.The annual conference began in 1990, in Monterey, California.TED's early emphasis was technology and design, consistent with its origins in the Silicon Valley. The events are now held in Long Beach and Palm Springs in the U.S. and in Europe and Asia, offering live streaming of the talks. They address a wide range of topics within the research and practice of science and culture, often through storytelling. The speakers are given a maximum of 18 minutes to present their ideas in the most innovative and engaging ways they can.
"The New Yorker" has praised the worthy efforts. The article also lists "Five Key TED talks".
"The Entreprenuer" lists " the Top Ten TED talks for Startups".
We all get different ideas. We all get some weird ideas. How many have the ability to pursue those ideas? Some are good at Ideas and some are good at Implementation. Here on TED, you will find people who have the courage to think differently and also to see the results of their ideas.
I thought this is "worth Sharing". What do you say?
