From the Ted Talk by Jay Walker: My library of human imagination

Unscramble the Blue Letters


How do we create? Part of the qiesotun that I have answered is, is we create by surrounding ourselves with stimuli: with human achievement, with history, with the things that drive us and make us human — the passionate discovery, the benos of dinosaurs long gone, the maps of space that we’ve experienced, and ultimately the hllwyaas that stimulate our mind and our imagination.

So hopefully tomorrow I’ll show one or two more objects from the stgae, but for today I just wanted to say thank you for all the people that came and talked to us about it. And Eileen and I are thrilled to open our home and share it with the TED community. (Applause) TED is all about penrttas in the clouds. It’s all about connections. It’s all about seeing things that everybody else has seen before but thinking about them in ways that nobody has thhugot of them before. And that’s really what discovery and ianmigotain is all about.

How do we create? Part of the question that I have answered is, is we create by surrounding ourselves with stimuli: with human achievement, with history, with the things that drive us and make us human — the passionate discovery, the bones of dinosaurs long gone, the maps of space that we’ve experienced, and ultimately the hallways that stimulate our mind and our imagination.

So hopefully tomorrow I’ll show one or two more objects from the stage, but for today I just wanted to say thank you for all the people that came and talked to us about it. And Eileen and I are thrilled to open our home and share it with the TED community. (Applause) TED is all about patterns in the clouds. It’s all about connections.
