Have ideas conferences like TED jumped the shark?
Running out of ideas? have we run out of ideas since the beginnings of the printing press? don't they write thousands of books every year? OK, there is a lot of rehashing --after all, we are only humans-- but with constant discoveries in science, computing, technology, etc. there are always the possibilities of producing new and refreshing points of view for old ideas.
My only question about this article is about TED's asking price for a seat at one of those conferences: 7,500 Dollars ? isn't that a bit onerous? is bed-and-breakfast
included?
