Every now and then I watch the odd TED Talk.

Would anybody care to share a random TED Talk that they found interesting?

I find some of the TED talks to be somewhat evangelical assertion without any good evidence. However, this one is not like that. It is surprisingly difficult to change the way you tie your shoelaces if you have been doing it wrong for a long time:

I agree. And those audiences will applaud anything.

I found it quite educational up until a couple of years ago, then it seemed that anyone who wanted to speak words could have a go. There are too many self appointed experts on there now which makes finding the informative talks too much hassle.
