Chris Anderson: Five years ago,[br]TED was something[br]

0:00:04.023,0:00:07.082
that was enjoyed by a thousand people[br]once a year.

0:00:07.082,0:00:10.089
Today, it's something enjoyed[br]

0:00:10.089,0:00:13.782
by about 300,000 people every day.

0:00:13.782,0:00:17.168
[From over 60 countries]

0:00:18.972,0:00:21.557
This event here today actually seems

0:00:21.557,0:00:24.213
equally miraculous to me.

0:00:24.213,0:00:27.946
TED itself had really nothing to do[br]with organizing it.

0:00:27.946,0:00:29.948
It's one of -- more than a hundred [br]

0:00:29.948,0:00:32.536
that will be held this year[br]around the world

0:00:32.536,0:00:35.157
as part of this TEDx program [br]

0:00:35.157,0:00:37.818
of independently organized TED events.

0:00:37.818,0:00:39.988
And this is being done for passion.

0:00:39.988,0:00:45.399
(Music)

0:00:45.399,0:00:50.373
Thinkers, movers, shakers, rock stars,[br]welcome to TEDx!

0:00:50.373,0:00:52.019
You are all futurists, aren't you?

0:00:52.019,0:00:53.895
(French) It's an organization[br]from the United States,

0:00:53.895,0:00:55.637
a community,[br]whose mission is

0:00:55.637,0:00:57.887
to promote ideas[br]that can change the world.

0:00:57.887,0:01:02.809
All around the world can share[br]the same vision in real time.

0:01:02.809,0:01:05.390
Jane Poynter: Take a breath now

0:01:05.390,0:01:07.646
and, as you breathe, think [br]

0:01:07.646,0:01:10.318
about what is in your breath.

0:01:10.318,0:01:14.476
(Music)

0:01:14.476,0:01:17.336
It's an incredible honor to be involved [br]

0:01:17.336,0:01:20.064
in a brand new thing that TED is doing.

0:01:20.064,0:01:22.008
I think is life changing.

0:01:22.008,0:01:25.395
CA: TED is part of a much bigger revolution

0:01:25.395,0:01:27.178
in global education

0:01:27.178,0:01:30.024
that's made possible by the web.

0:01:30.024,0:01:34.913
(Music)

0:01:34.913,0:01:38.156
(Applause) (Cheers)
