TED: Debunking third-world myths with the best stats you've ever seen

Here's a quick intro to TED Talks, and one really neat one that I recommend everyone to check out. Note that Dave is bringing the TED conference to his work this February as one of his first initiatives in his new position.

TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds. Since then its scope has become ever broader.

The annual conference now brings together the world's most fascinating thinkers and doers, who are challenged to give the talk of their lives (in 18 minutes).
