personal observations about TED

Truly amazing experience. Wonderful ideas and creative thinking. Could be better with more opposing viewpoints. Seems more value could be generated with a little more interaction and questioning of the speakers. It may be that the environment is too intimidating or that organizers are focused on specific outcomes. It's hard to sustain something as earth shattering as this event for 20some years, and it's easy to throw stones, but I certainly plan on being a part of it as long as I'm allowed and as long as it continues to generate great ideas and attract ao many amazing people. It would be great if the entire conference could be viewed by anyone/everyone!
