What is Ted Talk?

TED Talks are a series of influential and thought-provoking video presentations by expert speakers from various fields, including science, technology, business, education, and creativity.

TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a nonprofit organization that began in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from those three worlds.

Since then, TED has grown to include two annual conferences, TEDGlobal and TEDWomen, as well as many other initiatives and programs designed to spread ideas worth sharing. The TED Talks are widely viewed online and are known for their engaging and informative presentations on a wide range of topics.
