Well look forward for innovative changes, but how many among us actually initiate the same? If you are brooding on this, let me make it easy for you. TED, a nonprofit, it completely devoted to the concept of 'ideas worth spreading. This concept had its inception in the year 1984, and had started off as a conference, which is aimed to bring individuals of technology, design and entertainment at a single platform. The concept has spread far and wide with the course of time.The prime motto of TED is to spread innovative ideas which can bring immense changes in the life and attitude of individuals, which can ultimately help in changing the world. Thus, one can describe TED as a 'clearing-house' which provides not just inspirational ideas, but also free of cost knowledge from a big bunch of world's renowned thinkers. A site has also been launched in the year 2007 mid, works upon the same concepts and ideas and all those who want to be a part of this innovative revolution are most welcome.
