The TED story

In my life as a journalist, there is nothing I enjoy more than meeting people that I adore and asking them questions - questions that I really care about, questions that solve problem, and essential. TED answered my question before I start asking. As a global citizen, I believe in shared information, open source software, and creative commons. I hope that one day, information will transfer faster than currency does, and people in the world will understand each other better with an open mind, being tolerant and creative. May we create a better future together.
