The final day of TEDGlobal in images and soundbites — the closing of a truly phenomenal experience.
For full blow-by-blow coverage, skim our live Twitter feed from the event.
The Sahara desert expands by nearly one meter per day, literally driving people out of their homes. ~ Magnus Larsson
Science confirms what we know in our hearts. ~ Dan Pink
Interpretation is the real story of the performance. ~ Itay Talgam
It’s the gallery itself, the institution, that becomes the frame. ~ Daniel Birnbaum
The most important question is, ‘Where are you in your thoughts?’ ~ Brother Paulus Terwitte
On a personal note, the TED experience has been every bit as invigorating, inspiring and incredible as expected, and then some. Exhausting as it may have been, reporting is has been a modest effort to help extend TED’s fundamental mission — “ideas worth spreading.”
And before we return to our regular “programming” next week, a big “THANK YOU” for following and sharing in this utterly lifechanging experience.
