Mind Amplifier is available for the Kindle, Nook and iBookstore, and you can also download it through the TED Books app. And after the jump, watch Rheingold’s TEDTalk.


Howard Rheingold believes that both designing and using digital media can actually improve our intelligence. As Rheingold sees it, human beings have the unique ability to build tools — like alphabets, speech, writing, and printing — that leverage our ability to think and cooperate. When it comes to computers and the Internet, Rheingold says there’s potential for us to systematically direct the evolution of intelligence.

Daughter Tests TED-Ed, Falls in Love With Learning

Daughter Tests TED-Ed, Falls in Love With Learning | E-Learning and Online Teaching | Scoop.it
I had planned to put a video together about “choosing a school for your children” to test out TED-Ed. However, my eight-year-old daughter caught wind of what I was doing and wanted to get in on the act. To cut a long story short my highly intellectual video-lesson turned into a (what she says is just as educational) video about sewing. No bad thing I’m sure.

Note to anti-evolutionists: 1) There's no evidence showing that homochirality could not form via natural processes. 2) Homochirality has nothing to do with evolution. It's a requirement for abiogenesis - which is a separate thing - and not for evolution.
Thank you for understanding this and not making a fool of yourself by spamming this video with your minunderstandings, lies and disinformation.

Yet, at a fundamental level this reflection-symmetry is broken. The Weak Force (one of the 4 fundamental forces) explicitly breaks this symmetry (know as parity).
