Ted Talk #5 (Johnny Lee)


From this video I will take away an important lesson; with new technology ideas spread faster. This allows the littlest creative ideas to be spread across the world. Ideas that might have never caught on may become the “next great thing”. The internet has become a powerful tool that may be utilized to anyone’s advantage. Using the internet as a tool may make or break an inventor.
Johnny Lee’s ideas are also a great take away from this video. His ideas of taking an object that are common, and turning them into great new devices. I already have been thinking of ways to use his ideas in my household.
The speaker’s effective speaking techniques were that he used many examples of his ideas by recreating what he is talking about. Every uses for the wii remote he had the full equipment set up as if it were in his own home. This showed that his ideas really worked and that people can use them too.
His presentation style included many interactions with the audience. He used his hands to talk to the audience and also showed how the wii remote worked. He interceded with the cameraman and audience often to encourage complete attention of the listeners.
Many ideas from this talk matter. First is the idea that the recent technologies, such as YouTube, have made the spread of ideas quicker. People’s ideas will take less time to catch on and the world will change at an even faster pace. The other important idea is that people can contribute to the process of technology and increase the arability for other people.
