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.

I loved TED the moment one of their earlier videos crossed my path. To say that I'm grateful for everyone at TED and all of their contributors/supporters would be an understatement.

The breadth and depth of their content is an advantage... for us all.

i cant believe this video has only 35k views! youtube should promote this!

[rejuvenile21]

the medium is the message. as much as click-learn or open source ideas are abound people need a carrot on a stick to guide them. mystics(religion), government, and free market(capitalists) held the carrots and do not plan on letting go of the carrot anytime soon.
