Those two were some of my first.The one about statistics was math art to me. The one about creativity was mind blowing. There's another video from RSA by him which he goes in better detail.

@shak the mpesa one was good but he exaggerated a bit on how well mpesa is being implemented but we're getting there,fast!

@murchr thanks for the link. I've noticed the new videos people are coming up with more innovative ideas.The future looks interesting.I'va watched the TEDxNairobi talk by Julie Gichuru I felt ashamed.It was substandard.

@mukiri join the club. tell me what you're into I can get you links to my fav talks on them.

True on TEDxNairobi. Very poorly done, a clear indication of the mediocre attitude that we hold on issues. Make sure u watch the one on modern day slavery. There are several on creativity, which one are u talking about? Make time for another one on how China is taking the world..Amazing!

For the uninitiated like me, Ted talk ni nini? Big Ted's show?

If we are talking about TV shows, doesn't the presenter of the Property Show (NTV) give new meaning to 'thunder thighs'?


Would like to believe that you now know, after visiting the link.

I'm talking about Kevin Robinson - How schools kill creativity.Don't think any moved me like that one.I'm getting them now plus other china talks.Hans Rosling(the stats guy) has done a talk of the rise of asia.An interesting one I found is by Damian Palin - Mining Minerals from Sea Water,Amory Lovins - 50 year plan for energy,Jared Ficklin - New Ways To See Music(Just Amazing).

Keep them coming.Make's it easier to find good talks quickly

OOh yes, I've watched that one on schools killing creativity. The guy was really funny. The one on the rise of Asia is the one that i mentioned earlier. Its amazing how its turning out to be a reality. I havent watched the last 2..i see i have some catch up to do. Will def share those that i find interesting.

What's your favourite talk?


The best that i have watched is one by Chimamanda Adiechie - The danger of a single story

Bofya Hapa

Dambisa Moyo also gives very good talks on the world economy

Thanks @murchr.

I am, and make sure i download a couple of issues when traveling, which is the best, well, depends on the mood, but the freakonomics one on car seats ranks high...

Haven't watched the car seats one. Stroke of insight was great,though I hope I don't have to go through what she did to experience what she did.
