What is TED used for?
TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages.
What is TED format?
TED style talks are delivered without notes and the speaker wears a lapel or headset microphone and is never behind a lectern. TED style presentations have minimal or even no slides. If slides are used they are often highly visual, the images are of exceptional quality with maybe only one or two words on each.
