Can't do. We got a drama lecture...

It's the sensible shoe of public address.

That lecture was a waste of time.

So, he'd taken this data and made a presentation which just shattered a lot of myths that people had about the economics in the developing world.

And I think this is really the theme of this session.

If any mug pulls a boner, I'll flood the room with a torrent of oratory.

National assignments

I gave my speech, then went back out to the airport to fly back home.

A nice group of words!

Chris Anderson That was an incredible talk.

Every time you ever hear me on the television or somewhere, I'm ad libbing.

Deong will speak. Now let Deong speak.

My speech. Where's my speech?

CP You're lucky that this is not being streamed to them live right now.

And she said, I saw your Talk live streamed.

He made a speech.

And the night before my first year talk, and the first year talk at Princeton is a 20 minute talk to 20 people. That's it.

Presentations and lectures

They were the actors of this global market, which I mentioned in the beginning.

Well, that's a whole other lecture.

Here's Gates doing a thing for Windows.

Actor Thandie Newton tells the story of finding her otherness first, as a child growing up in two distinct cultures, and then as an actor playing with many different selves. A warm, wise talk, fresh from stage at TEDGlobal 2011.

I got invited to speak to the people who dress up in big stuffed animal costumes to perform at sporting events.

The Next Show.

Every performance.

Or some even included references to the speakers, such as Nathan Myhrvold's speaking style, or the one of Tim Ferriss, which might be considered a bit strenuous at times.

They've had some speakers there.

You'll probably have to make a speech.

I had started out with a thousand TEDTalks and I had 600 six word summaries for those.

(ii) Exhibits, guided tours, lectures

Let me come back to the beginning, to end this presentation.
