There are three things that affect everyone everyday. They affect what we do, how we see things, what we wear, where we go and how we get there. They are Technology, Entertainment and Design. For the past few years the driving forces behind these big three (TED) have been getting together to share ideas and find common ground in an annual conference called aptly "TED" . These people are no slouches, we're talking Tom Ford, Bill Clinton, Steven Speilberg, Stephen Hawkings, Bono and the Dali Lama all sippin' lattes around a table shootin' the shit. (although one of them is most likely using a straw...sorry). TED's website (
http://www.ted.com/) has film of all thier spechaes and discussions and will expose you to the most forward thinkers, designers, and creators' ideas right form thier mouths. AMAZING Stuff. Also check out missingpieces.tv that has a lot of the coverage from the event. M ss ng P eces, as it is written, also produces videos for coolhunting.com and many other forward thinking sites you are familiar with. Open your mind, see whats really ahead, peep TED.
