    Favourite TED Talks - Technology, Entertainment, Design

    Over 2,600 TED Talks are freely available online. Post your favourites here.

    I'll kick things off with a selection from the wonderful Hans Rosling, 'the man in whose hands data sings'. For more of Hans, visit the TED page in his memory: https://www.ted.com/playlists/474/th...sling_talks_yo

    That first talk you posted by Hans Rosling blew me away when I first saw it. Statistics are usually quite dull but his software brings it to life.

    Here are a few of my favorites for all sorts of reasons:

    That Ric Elias talk is inspiring. The life-changes that he describes following a near fatal event and 'choosing to be happy' resonate strongly with me.

    Absolutely not, a most delightful talk and it is really nice to one that features the Design element of TED.

    Thanks, both.

    That's exactly why I started this thread, such a huge selection of excellent presenters and topics. Just hoping for a few personal highlights from other TED Talk aficionados.
