1) What is the TED organization about?
-The ted organization is about different philosophers coming together and explaining their ideas to the world.
2) What is the purpose of their website and how does the functionality of their site support that?
-The purpose of having their website the way that it is, is so that people can visit their website to gather information about their ideas. It is formatted the way that it is so that you can easily scroll around and pick a video of your choosing.
3) As Engineers and Problem Solvers, which topic areas (the choices from the "Show talks related to:" section on the sidebar) are of most interest to us? Justify your answer.
-I think the most interesting topics to us would most loikely be technology, design, and entertainment. I think these would be interesting to us in engineering because we are problem solvers, and these topics revolve around problems that we could possibly solve.
4) Based on your previous answer, what are 3 talks (videos) on the site that appear like they would be of most interest to you as an Engineer/Problem Solver? Justify your choices.
-Three other talk videos that seem interesting to me as an engineer would most likely be: The Birth of a word, because it is interesting to listen to this topic. Inside the Egyptian, because it is a sacred area that I would like to know more about. Another interesting thing to me as a problem solver, would be The rise of Personal Robots. This topic seems interesting because its something cool that could be implemented in the future.
5.) Bulletpost on the video.
-Talks about a new theory of gravity.
-Talks about Einsteins Theorys.
-Talks about a 4 dimension theory.
6) How could you get involved in the field/technology/issue you chose to hear about? What experience/skills/training/education would you need to learn to get involved with this field?
-This field definately revolves around theories and philosophical ideas. For me to get involved in this I would need to take science courses really serioulsy and take a physcology course. I would probably need to go to college for physcology and get a degree in sciences.
Good job figuring out how to post the video on your blog.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like an interesting talk, I hope I can find some time to listen to it.
