Chris Anderson: Five years ago,
TED was something


00:00:04.023 --> 00:00:07.082
that was enjoyed by a thousand people
once a year.

00:00:07.082 --> 00:00:10.089
Today, it's something enjoyed


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

00:00:13.782 --> 00:00:17.168
[From over 60 countries]

00:00:18.972 --> 00:00:21.557
This event here today actually seems

00:00:21.557 --> 00:00:24.213
equally miraculous to me.

00:00:24.213 --> 00:00:27.946
TED itself had really nothing to do
with organizing it.

00:00:27.946 --> 00:00:29.948
It's one of -- more than a hundred 


00:00:29.948 --> 00:00:32.536
that will be held this year
around the world

00:00:32.536 --> 00:00:35.157
as part of this TEDx program 


00:00:35.157 --> 00:00:37.818
of independently organized TED events.

00:00:37.818 --> 00:00:39.988
And this is being done for passion.

00:00:39.988 --> 00:00:45.399
(Music)

00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:50.373
Thinkers, movers, shakers, rock stars,
welcome to TEDx!

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

00:00:52.019 --> 00:00:53.895
(French) It's an organization
from the United States,

00:00:53.895 --> 00:00:55.637
a community,
whose mission is

00:00:55.637 --> 00:00:57.887
to promote ideas
that can change the world.

00:00:57.887 --> 00:01:02.809
All around the world can share
the same vision in real time.

00:01:02.809 --> 00:01:05.390
Jane Poynter: Take a breath now

00:01:05.390 --> 00:01:07.646
and, as you breathe, think 


00:01:07.646 --> 00:01:10.318
about what is in your breath.

00:01:10.318 --> 00:01:14.476
(Music)

00:01:14.476 --> 00:01:17.336
It's an incredible honor to be involved 


00:01:17.336 --> 00:01:20.064
in a brand new thing that TED is doing.

00:01:20.064 --> 00:01:22.008
I think is life changing.

00:01:22.008 --> 00:01:25.395
CA: TED is part of a much bigger revolution

00:01:25.395 --> 00:01:27.178
in global education

00:01:27.178 --> 00:01:30.024
that's made possible by the web.

00:01:30.024 --> 00:01:34.913
(Music)

00:01:34.913 --> 00:01:38.156
(Applause) (Cheers)
