| Rives: A mockingbird remix of TED2006 |
 |
http://www.ted.com The bird is the word, and
everyone gets heard, as Rives recaps the most
memorable moments of TED2006, with a
fantastical Mockingbird lullaby. Mixing the
personal with the universal in free-spirited
rhyming verse, he imagines using mockingbirds
to redistribute the world's underappreciated
sounds. "They listen and mimic and remix what
they like / they rock the mic." The magic of
this piece is best appreciated after watching
a range of talks from TED2006.

 |
http://www.ted.com Satirist Tom Rielly
delivers a wicked parody of the 2006 TED
conference, taking down the $100 laptop, the
plight of the polar bear, and people who
mention, one too many times, that they work
at Harvard. Watch for a very special moment
between Tom and Al Gore. Impossible to
summarize, pointless to explain, ladies and
gentlemen, Tom Rielly ...

| Hans Rosling: Watch the end of poverty |
 |
http://www.ted.com In a follow-up to his
now-legendary TED2006 presentation, Hans
Rosling demonstrates how developing countries
are pulling themselves out of poverty. He
shows us the next generation of his
Trendalyzer software -- which analyzes and
displays data in amazingly accessible ways,
allowing people to see patterns previously
hidden behind mountains of stats. (Ten days
later, he announced a deal with Google to
acquire the software.) He also demos Dollar
Street, a program that lets you peer in the
windows of typical families worldwide living
at different income levels. Be sure to watch
straight through to the (literally)
jaw-dropping finale.
