What is TED?

Nope, it's not some guy with a peculiar way of shouting his name.  TED bills itself as a non-profit "devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading".  Here is a little bit about the organization.  There are some very powerful and influential folks behind the TED organization: people like Larry Page, Ray Kurzweil, Craig Venter and Seth Godin and many more.

I invite you to take a look at some of the recorded TED talks here to get an idea of what one would see and hear attending (virtually or in-person) a TED conference.

HPL is considering purchasing a TED Live membership which would allow us to stream the next two TED conference in their entirety for up to 50 audience members.  It isn't an inconsequential fee for this program, so we want to make sure there is a good deal of interest before making the purchase.

So, tell me what you think.  Would you like to attend a TED conference with access sponsored through the library?
