John Carver Show - Susan Cain - Power of Introverts

Years ago my, long time, friend Arthur Hawkins introduced me to the TED TALKS (www.ted.com/).   According to Wikipedia  TED was founded in 1984 as a one-off event.  The annual conference began in 1990, in Monterey, California. TED's early emphasis was technology and design, consistent with its origins in the Silicon Valley.

Since June 2006  the talks have been offered for free viewing online, under Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs Creative Commons license, through TED.com.  As of April 2014, over 1,700 talks are available free online   By January 2009 they had been viewed 50 million times. In June 2011, the viewing figure stood at more than 500 million and on Tuesday, November 13, 2012, TED Talks had been watched one billion times worldwide.
