In thespirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)From:TEDxYouthViews:5 1ratingsTime:13:05More inEducation

Nebulous Mechanisms (the beginings of Creative Science)
This video is a recording of the first reading of a Science Fiction Prototype written by Brian David Johnson (Intel #39;s Futurist) and presented at the Intelligent Environments conference in Barcelona, Spain in July 2009. The presentation is somewhat amateurish and long (even the camera team get bored and start pointing the camera at other "more interesting" activities). So, this is just here as a historical record and is not recommended for viewing by anyone other than those involved!. Later Brian Johnson went on to write a series of Science Fiction Prototypes which are published by O #39;Reilly and led to setting up the Creative Science Foundation.
