Are TED Talks causing cognitive disorders in the scientific engineering and math departments at my local community college?
Yes, they are. I asked myself about this.
Self, would you kindly please explain more about your previous statement?
Yeah well uh ya see, uhhhhhh, at our local community college, people sit in class watchin TED talks on intrarnot expluor and so i think maybe TED talks is causing like cognitive impairments in our wider undergraduate students pool and maybe even like the working professionals not so educated about technology pool.
Okay, but how do you think we could solve this problem?
Well uh I dunno I would be kind of interested in forming a conference but hopefully nobody would show up and we would be able to produce the show in its entirety without being asked any questions by the audience.
Yeah, but don't you think --
Uh, no!
So there you have it. TED Talks only inspire average people to refer other people to watch TED Talks, for which the company doesn't even receive money, because they already got money from the people who attended the conferences. No offense to anybody affiliated with TED and especially not to our information age visionaries but the informational and educational content of these talks is severely lacking, as is the entertainment value. Arguably, TED Talks are causing cognitive disorders in the scientific engineering and math departments at my local community college.
