I have found myself wondering what people spend their time doing on the internet, mainly because I spent most of my time on Facebook...not much you can do there really. I was craving something more informative and possibly educational.
I attended a meeting today for the World Affairs Colloquium (WAC) at Trent and the main objective of WAC is to provide a forum by which staff, faculty, students, and possibly even the wider community can come and discuss social issues around the world, but not only isolated to around the world. Local issues can be discussed also. One plan of ours this year is to record the session we have because they provide much needed information on the vast array of topics discussed. The WAC committee spoke about TED.com, which I had heard about in my first year of university during my ERS course and decided today to return to this website and have a look through to see if there was anything that could tickle my fancies. I did come across one video, thus far that I would like to share with you.

I hope you take some time and visit TED.com. You may find something interesting about a topic you're passionate about.
