Technology, entertainment, design

One of my aspirations in life is to someday get invited to TED. TED is a conference where the best and the brightest in the fields of technology, design, and entertainment come together. Its attendees are some of the most prominent thinkers, innovators and creators that make our world an exciting place. Attendance is by invitation only and costs a cool $4,400 this year. You can request to be invited and will be accepted if:

• you are curious, open-minded, playful, smart, creative
• you have achieved notable success in your chosen field
• you are able to make a valuable contribution to the exchange of ideas that takes place at TED
• you are interested to help create a better future for our world

TED 2007 speakers include Edward deBono, Bill Clinton, Thomas Dolby, Tom Rielly, Steven Pinker, and Tracy Chapman.
