TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out in 1984 as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences — the TED Conference and TEDGlobal — TED includes the award-winning TED Talks video site, the Open Translation Project and TED Conversations, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize.

There are hundreds of TED programs that provide cutting-edge thinking on Technology, Entertainment, and Design. One of the best was presented by Kevin Kelly during which he muses on what technology means in our lives — from its impact at the personal level to its place in the cosmos. (Filmed at TEDxAmsterdam.)
