TED is almost here ...

Richard Saul Wurman anticipated the convergence of technology, entertainment, and design, and decided to have fun with it.

He says:

"You get to indulge your interests and find out about things you don't know about."

Also:

In Wurman's world, there are absolutely no lecterns. Standing behind one, he says, "allows you to read your speech. It also protects your groin. If your groin wasn't protected, you'd be more vulnerable" -- and able connect with the audience on a deeper, more emotional level.

Although the name is technology, entertainment, and design, there is apparently also some room for a Little Freud.
