What the hell is a TED talk?

[Tommy_Carcetti]

Apparently it's some sort of speaking conference with buzzworthy speakers talking about buzzworthy stuff?!?!

I tried googling it to see what it was about, but ended up with a headache and even more confused due to all the buzzworthiness of it.

TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.
