3 Cool Ted Talks of July 2010

We love being on top of the most relevant, new, exciting and enlightening information. We invest many hours a week reading blogs, news articles, and of course, watching TED.com. Below are three really cool videos released this past July that we thought you might enjoy. Cheers!

Ted Talks of July 2010 - Julian Assange

Julian Assange: Why The World Needs WikiLeaks

The controversial website WikiLeaks collects and posts highly classified documents and video. Founder Julian Assange, who’s reportedly being sought for questioning by US authorities, talks to TED’s Chris Anderson about how the site operates, what it has accomplished — and what drives him. The interview includes graphic footage of a recent US airstrike in Baghdad.

Tan Le: A Headset That Reads Your Brainwaves

Tan Le’s astonishing new computer interface reads its user’s brainwaves, making it possible to control virtual objects, and even physical electronics, with mere thoughts (and a little concentration). She demos the headset, and talks about its far-reaching applications.

Ted Talks of July 2010 - Naif Al-Mutawa

Naif Al-Mutawa: Superheroes Inspired By Islam

In “THE 99,” Naif Al-Mutawa’s new generation of comic book heroes fight more than crime — they smash stereotypes and battle extremism. Named after the 99 attributes of Allah, his characters reinforce positive messages of Islam and cross cultures to create a new moral framework for confronting evil, even teaming up with the Justice League of America.

    Its amazing that art and design have gone from such extremes in my own lifetime! Growing up they said you couldn’t do anything as an artist. New media like video, the internet and even classic illustration comics are being used now to equalize, socialize, inform and engage at a level that encourages participation and discussion.

    I’m proud to see Ted (and PD) covering innovations like these… hopefully in the next decade we will see more consumers of media like this become educated producers!
