"when u look at a shirt, a building, or anything, u must refer to the designer. it is foolish if u see a building for example, and u didnt think of the designer, the architect, the engineer or whatsoever."

When you see a mountain, a river, a canyon, a cloud, a snowflake, a grain of sand do you think of a designer?

Shirts and buildings are designed by humans. Yes. So what?

There's actual design and there's the (misleading) appearence of design. Don't be fooled by it.

Hehe the end video was epic x) anyone know what the song was?

[J Panter]

Beautiful. Informative.

[Whitlock123]

Because it seems to be completely void of any true purpose... It is something being fascinated by icebergs but instead of giving us some interesting or useful information or inside she basicly says "Look how pretty they are!" and I frankly expected TED to have higher standards. Or at least that is my opinion.

[spaik007]

what was her thing, her point, besides showing the pictures?
