WOW, did you miss out on a documentary or what?

Last night, the George Price Centre for Peace and Development featured the documentary The future we will create - Inside the world of TED. As the Iron Weed DVD-cover says "The legendary TED conference (Technology, Entertainment, Design) brings together a diverse group of some of the world's most brilliant innovators and visionaries to share their ideas and passions about creating a better world".

The fear that this would be a series of complicated, technological exposes disappeared with the first speaker, Dr. Hans Rosling, who amazed us by debunking third-world myths with the best statistics we have ever seen... Jeff Han unveiled the genius of multi-touch interface design... Cameron Sinclair inspired with his idea of open-source architecture to house the world... Majora Carter baffled everyone with her experience in greening the ghetto... and these are just a few of them.

My personal favourite speaker, Sir Ken Robinson, moved the audience by making a case for creativity in schools, illustrating his plea with the Gillian Lynne success story... He said: "I believe our only hope for the future is to adopt a new conception of human ecology, one in which we start to reconstitute our conception of the richness of human capacity. Our education system has mined our minds in the way we strip-mine the earth for a particular commodity, and for the future it won't serve us. We have to rethink the fundamental principles on which we are educating our children. What TED celebrates is the gift of human imagination. We have to be careful now that we use this gift wisely and that we avert some of the scenario's we have talked about. And the only way we'll do it is by seeing our creative capacities for the richness they are and seeing our children for the hope that they are. And our task is to educate their whole being, so they can face this future. By the way, we may not see this future, but they will. Our job is to help them make something of it."
