Chris Anderson: How YouTube is driving innovation

(This version of Chris's talk has corrected picture of film-maker Jonathan Chu at 1:38.)

http://www.ted.com TED's Chris Anderson says the rise of web video is driving a worldwide phenomenon he calls Crowd Accelerated Innovation -- a self-fueling cycle of learning that could be as significant as the invention of print. But to tap into its power, organizations will need to embrace radical openness. And for TED, it means the dawn of a whole new chapter ...

How come TED's head guy Chris Anderson is giving his own TEDTalk? Well, it all started with an idea that wouldn't go away -- an insight into the true significance of web video, and what it might mean for the world's future. Bruno Giussani, who runs our TEDGlobal conference, got excited enough about the idea that he insisted Chris speak at Oxford this summer. The talk ushers in a whole new chapter in TED's history ... one which you're invited to help write. Please watch, and then help shape the future of TED with your comments.

The same can be said about the printing press, but the benefits we get from great books far outweigh the wasted time created by bad ones
