I enjoy visiting Ted.com on a regular basis, and now that I have a fast broadband connection, I enjoy watching the videos of their Ted Talks.

Today, I watched a presentation by Chris Anderson called How web video powers global innovation.

He gives an interesting and informative presentation on what he calls “Crowd Accelerated Innovation.”

Essentially, this means that we’re all learning at a faster pace because of the use of videos on the Web on sites like YouTube, Facebook, and others. In addition to learning more quickly, we’re also raising the bar on expectations and that means more, and faster, innovation.

I think he’s on to something.

The video is about 19 minutes long and worth the time to watch it.

He makes a very good point about video enabling world-wide face-to-face communications and how we are hard-wired to take in and evaluate all the cues surrounding what someone is saying or doing. If a picture is worth a thousand words, how much more is video worth?

So, what do you think?

Act on your dream!
