Another great TED talk - this one about Economics & Open Source
My personal journey to learn more about the world around me. Some comes from my personal experiences, some from things I have read, and some from courses I have taught or taken over the years. Like the sun rising in the east, learning lightens my mind, enlightens my soul, and brightens my life!

Creativity vs Education
I saw this video from TED 2006, & thought it extremely interesting! By the by, there is a funny commentary about University Professors at about the 11 minute mark!

Anything they can do, I can do to!
Give a kid a computer, & (s)he can learn anything!
I saw this TED talk on Ted.com today - I get it now - I CAN do it! - This awesome talk tells of the experiment of making computers with internet access available to kids from all walks of life & around the world; and how they learn & teach each other. It is an amazing journey to tell! Aparently, nothing stopped the kids in the experiments - language, poverty, location, etc - if they had computer/internet access, they would learn & could learn amazing and advanced things, IF left to themselves!
Don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled for the help, instruction, and interaction from and with you, my friends! I'm just glad we're not having to teach ourselves bio-engineering!
