This TED talk was my favorite by far, due to its scientific value and inspiring uses. The presenter also is from MIT which is the college I want to go to.

The basic premise of the talk is the use of new and more able body prosthetics and how they can help very much. There are many types of prosthetics that actually improve some humans ability. Using a flat wedged pike-like foot people can climb surfaces better than a regular person. That prosthetics can be used to enchance the future and soon enough that everybody could use an aid. An exo could be used running and soon everybody will have one.

I love this talk due to the science it holds. It matters to me greatly since I hope to be a bio-engineer when I grow up. The implication of bio technology to further the human race greatly inspires me since it has so many possibilities. We can elongate life, increase strength, and increase intelligence by just using our brains and I hope that we can accomplish more in my life.

This is the a great TED talk and I hope everybody can watch it and be inspired like I am.

This video was my favorite of all the ones I have watched so far because it held a lot of decent information.  This TED Talk was about the manipulation of a memory of a mouse and how this technology can help the world. 

The initial video is focusing on the altering of memory. Two researchers at MIT are studying to try to find a way to alter memory. They use a special insertion into the brain which gives the part of the brain dealing with memory reactive to light. They then subsequently insert a tube into the mouses head which gives them the ability to project light to that area. They put a mouse into a small box and using the light to record the reactive part of the brain and lightly shock the mouse, scaring it into submission. They then put the mouse into a completely different box which is totally safe, and when they activate the light, the mouse remembers the shock from the other box and freezes even though this box is totally safe.

This matters to me since I am very interested in Bio Engineering and also very interested in MIT. It is amazing in how they were able to reactivate a memory in a mouse's mind, and theoretically it could also be used on humans. This means that you alter the memory of a human, or completely erase it. This could help the world with stress, suicide, and much much more. This matters to me since I hope to one day help a discovery which could changer the world.

This TED talk is by far the most interesting and I would immediately recommend this to my peers. The science and overall humor makes this a captivating and interesting talk. This by far is my favorite TED talk.

This TED Talk was quite unusual since it did not follow the usual format. The video started off with a small jazz band consisting of a rythym section and they started off by playing. The video explores how there is no mistakes and how mistakes sprout ideas.

The entire video was actually very pretty sounding but it has very few words. The entirety of the video was mostly music and very little talking. From the talking you learn that whenever they messed up they turn it from a mistake to a new opportunity. This video although is based of music, I drew from it a deeper spiritual meaning.

I first chose this video because music matters to me and I would like to learn more about it, but instead I drew deeper meaning from it. This video although centering around music could also e applied to life. When you make a mistake in life instead of continuing on the bad path you can continue and use that mistake as a stepping stone for accomplishment.

This video was a very good video ad provided excellent reflection into life and music. I would recommend this video to all my music oriented friends.

The phrase "Mathematics of Love" is an odd one since many thing of these two things as opposites. Mathematics is a clear defined way of thinking and is predictable, whereas love is something unexpected and has no clear way of definition. Although love may seem to be a hugely deep and an erratic subject, it can be defined using math and that is precisely what the "Mathematics of Love" is about.

The "Mathematics of Love" is about the mathematical probability of finding a mate. She first introduces a paper written by Peter Backus about him finding a mate. After all his circumstances it ends up being a 1 in 285,000 chance but that is a pessimistic view. She uses mathematically proven techniques to increase your chance of finding love. Her first rule pertains to online dating and how your chance of being contacted is not just on attractiveness. Those who have features that are more different have a much better of better chance of finding a mate other than those with just a "cute" face. Her second rule pertains to finding the perfect mate. Sadly the math says then that what you should do in the first 37 percent of your dating window, you should just reject everybody as serious marriage potential. This method has many risks but is actually proven to maximize the potential of finding the perfect mate. Her third rule is not about finding a mate, but keeping one. Although you may think the perfect couple that never fights is likely to stay together it is actually quite the opposite. Couples that fight more are more likely to stay together since they resolve an issue. She uses an equation to calculate the likelyhood of them staying together and it actually is proven to have significant accuracy. She then goes on and hope that the "Mathematics of Love" strengthens your love for mathematics.


When I first chose this video, I was hoping to get insight on the power of Mathematics in the natural world and I sure did. This video shows how math can prove anything and how it is even powerful enough to calculate the hardest emotion of all, love. This talk matters to me since I hold mathematics to a high standard of importance. I find it interesting to me and I love how it can calculate love. If mathematics can calculate the impossible, imagine what else it can do? That is why this talk is so important and matters to me.

This video at first seems quite boring but after watching it I've learned that it was actually interesting. It is quite entertaining in her delivery and overall quite a hoot. If ever teetering on the edge of watching this video I give a strong recommendation to. This video is very logical and should be watched as soon as possible.
