Ted Challenge

1. The Ted organization is about technology, entertaniment, and design.
2.The purpose is to spread ideas. The fuctionality of the website makes it easy to spread ideas because there are different types of vidoes.
3. As engineers, the design videos most appeal to us.
4. Videos that seem interesting are Charles Leadbeater on innovation, Chip Kidd on designing books, and Daniel Schnitzer: Inventing is the easy part.
5.  Some key issues are:
  • The people of Haiti spend a lot of money on lightbulbs
  • solar LED lightbulbs could change the haitian's lives if they could have access to them
  • two types of access are physical and finacial
  • Haitians don't have much physical and finical access
  • Schnitzer said inventing is easy, getting the inventions to people who need them is harder
6. I could get involved in making a company that sends inventions to people who need them. I would need experence in manging a company.
