Brief History of TED Talks
Founded by Harry Marks and Richard Wurman, the first TED Conference showcased the compact disc and an early demo of the Apple Macintosh. However, the financial strain meant the second event didn’t happen until 1990, six years later. Throughout the 90s, the TED community grew, hosting regular conferences with speakers from diverse fields like music, philosophy, and religion.
In the early 2000s, TED Talks were made freely available online, breaking the previous model where tickets cost thousands and were invite-only. This shift led to explosive popularity, with millions now watching TED Talks on YouTube every day. With so many great talks out there, especially on business development, here are some of the best to check out.
