Woody Norris Talk at TED
Description: Woody Norris shows off two of his inventions that treat sound in new ways, and talks about his untraditional approach to inventing and education. As he puts it: “Almost nothing has been invented yet.” So — what’s next?

Here’s a takeaway: there is always a different way to look at something.  And another: it doesn’t matter where you get your education from as long as you get it… and keep getting it.

Are our schools mills that turn out “meat machines” who dutifully take their places in the work force or should there be something more? Should children who are curious and who try to push the bounds be nudged back into place and not allowed to express their uniqueness, their creativity? What are we giving up?

Sir Ken Robinson makes an entertaining and profoundly moving case for creating an education system that nurtures (rather than undermines) creativity.
