Do Schools Kill Creativity?

I’ve spoken twice at TED. The first time was in 2006. TED was a very different event then. It was a private conference for about 1,200 people. After the event, the talks were packaged in a box set of DVDs and sent just to the attendees. I gave a talk called “Do Schools Kill Creativity?” A few months later, Chris Anderson, the curator of TED, called to say they were planning to put a few talks on their website as an experiment and asked if they could include mine. The timing was perfect. Social media was beginning to take shape and the insatiable appetite for YouTube and short videos was about to emerge.

Jon Stewart Rips BBC: ‘At Least Someone Got Accused Of Pedophilia’ (VIDEO)

Jon Stewart laid into the BBC on Wednesday night, quipping that the British broadcaster’s sex abuse crisis made News Corp.’s phone hacking scandal “look almost quaint.”

Last week, the director-general of the BBC George Entwistle stepped down after the program “Newsnight” wrongly accused a politician of sexual abuse. The erroneous report came soon after news broke that same program axed an investigative story outing famed British broadcaster and former BBC host Jimmy Savile as a serial child sex offender. The program aired Christmas tributes to the broadcaster instead.

BBC director general George Entwistle stands outside BBC Broadcasting House, London,
after he announced his resignation over the “unacceptable” Newsnight broadcast which
wrongly implicated a senior former Conservative in a child abuse.
