  1. TED: Technology, Entertainment, Design

  2. TED, which stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design, is a global set of conferences formed to propagate “ideas worth spreading.”Fortunately for us, these ideas are available to us free on the web through the website www.ted.org. As of July 2010, there were over 700 talks available online, and the number continues to grow each week. At this time, over 290 million people have visited this site and the number continues to grow.

  3. TED was founded in 1984, with an early emphasis on technology and design. The talks have spread to a global audience, and TED conferences have taken place everywhere from California to India.The topics have been expanded to include the arts, but still are usually science-centered. The speakers are given a maximum of 18 minutes to present their ideas in the most innovative and engaging ways they can.Presenters have included Bill Clinton, Jane Goodall, Gordon Brown, Bill Gates, Al Gore, and Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

  4. From 2005 to 2009, three $100,000 TED Prizes were awarded annually to help their winners realize a chosen wish to change the world. From 2010, in a changed selection process, a single winner is chosen to ensure that TED can maximize its efforts in achieving the winner's wish. Each winner unveils their wish at the main annual conference.

  5. TED was founded by Richard Wurman and Harry Marks in 1984, and has been held annually since 1990. Wurman left the organization after the 2002 conference; the event is now hosted by Chris Anderson and owned by his non-profit organization, The Sapling Foundation, which is devoted to "leveraging the power of ideas to change the world."

  6. TED Talks are transcribed and translated into a number of languages as part of the TED Open-Translation Project, which aims to "[reach] out to the 4.5 billion people on the planet who don't speak English," according to TED Curator Chris Anderson. At the time of the launch, over 300 translations were done by volunteer transcribers in over 40 languages.
