If I were to recommend a social platform for education, I would definitely recommend TED.
TED is a non-profit organization founded to spread unique ideas to change attitudes and, in turn, change the world. TED specializes in inviting innovators and practitioners who are at the forefront of various fields to give talks of 18 minutes or less. I basically keep the habit of watching one TED episode a day, at first as a hobby. But it really opened my eyes, let me meet the best people from all walks of life, let me understand the latest technology, and let me know that there are so many interesting people in the world doing so many fun and meaningful things.
What values does TED convey? When I was a kid, I used to lie on the floor and look up at the stars and wonder why the world was the way it was,” says Chris Anderson. As far as I know, there is no other venue for such exploration than the TED conference. Here you can ask all kinds of questions, from all kinds of perspectives. I found that just as I was getting caught up in the business game, there were amazing innovations in many fields, from astronomy to psychology, to evolutionary psychology, to anthropology, to other fields, and you could see that everything was changing, and it was really exciting to see the changes. And the most exciting thing is that it’s all interconnected. They’re connected and intertwined. Just in the last few days, we’ve heard people here talking about things they care about, things they’re passionate about, and how they can use them to change the world. The desire to bring such a group of people together is because the group shares certain ideals, and the conference was able to raise some funds and good solutions to problems. I believe that all of this together can certainly help change the world over time.”
I learned a lot from TED, one is that I can understand the world from a different perspective, expand my horizons, and grow in insight. It is a very good educational platform
