About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit 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)

i am happy for getting this vedio.
Nice one, refreshing talk, peace from the netherlands!
Good stuff. Every advance in Tech changes our socio-economic interactions creating more inter-networking opportunities and markets that previously didn't exist. Looking forward to your experiences with Akabbo
I. Need. That. Shirt! :D I love his shirt, where can I get one just like it?
Awesome
Great talk, Ray!
Another model that involves money. "Sharing economy" can be exploitative to their volunteers, or workers. Many workers have to work several jobs in this economy to make enough to survive. Not relying on your tax money, money from government- funded charity organization and money donation from people is the real sustainable movement: unlike some of these models under "sharing economy" that rent something in exchange for your money is just another profitable form of capitalism in disguise. Do some research on who they took from to start their company before your support.
Waste of time.His examples is not about sharing economy: if somebody byu a tractor or some another machine and get this for shirt term another people it calls RENT.Another examples about mobile payment - it is regulary type for paying. He said nothing about airbnb, couchserfing and another project, where main goal is not about the money! Do not recommend to see this video.
This is empty. What bs. It says nothing. Waste of time. Wide boy.
