So – did you include the “Time for TED” link because you like the video, or because you believe the blog comment (that TED has become cliché) to be accurate – or both? 🙂
Personally, I kinda like the video, though my appreciation of it was probably colored by the comment.* However, I do think it’s become somewhat cliché; where I used to really be wanting to see what people are sharing re: TED, it’s now, for me, only something I do if I have some extra time.
* Ah, the wonders of automaticity, a.k.a. “hot processes” (I hate that term, btw: worse than useless, IMNSHO, in psychology): We automatically read what’s written, and it automatically acts as a framing device by activating particular pathways.
