TED was founded in 1984 as an annual conference held in Monterey, California. TED‘s early emphasis was largely based on technology and design. They address a wide range of topics relating to science and culture. Each speaker is given 18 minutes to present their ideas in the most innovative and engaging way they can. Some of the speakers featured have included Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Bill Gates, and Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin, as well as many Nobel Prize winners. In 2006, TED began offering free viewings of the talks.
