http://www.ted.com Terry Moore found out he'd been tying his shoes the wrong way his whole life. In the spirit of TED, he takes the stage to share a better way. (Historical note: This was the very first 3-minute audience talk given from the TED stage, in 2005.)

TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the "Sixth Sense" wearable tech, and "Lost" producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and TEDTalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at http://www.ted.com/translate.

    Wow, the dude gets a TED talk and he hasn't realized that all you need to do is to cross the laces the opposite way at the start. This is much easier than making your loops go the opposite way.

    a useful life skill would be knowing to not use your real name on youtube

    I was so exited to try this out, just to realise I'd always done it the stronger way anyway :')

    Does this work if you're Asian?

    That's exactly how I was taught tying my shoes. Until know I didn't know there were people who didn't tie their shoes like that.

    Some people, like yours truly, are very comfortable with releasing a simple name on the internet.

    I got so fed up with my boys and my shoes coming untied that I decided to reinvent the shoelace: no bows, no tying, adjustable tension. Get the look of a lace up with the convenience and comfort of a slip on. SynchBands[dot]com pronounced “cinch”

    I had to check how I tie my shoes. Of course it is the right way and not with a "Granny Knot". That would look weird.
