Netflix has been telling me for weeks that I want to watch a series of TED talks.  I disagreed.  I wanted to watch Game of Thrones!

But finally, on the recommendation of my parents (who had been getting similar recommendations from Netflix), I watched one, and now I’m hooked.

The TED conferences, held annually since the 90’s, are gathering of very smart people from lots of different fields, and they each get 20 minutes to tell you something important.  The talks are very entertaining – some are only a few minutes; some are actually comedy – but this one particularly has stayed with me.
