On Thursday, we were given a video to watch from Ted.com. Before watching the video, Jimmy briefly went over how Ted.com came about, created by a man named Richard Saul Wurman. He also talked about a woman by the name of Maria Giudice who went out and built her own foundation. After he finished telling us about these two amazing designers, he gave us some more of his words of wisdom as well as some things to always be thinking about. "Who do you want to be today? Know what you want to do. Find yourself. Build your own foundation." These were just some of the wisdom he had given us.
The video he had us watch from Ted.com was another Ted speaker by the name of John Maeda. The video can be found here: John Maeda on the simple life. John Maeda talks about simplicity and complexity. He talked about the importance of simplicity but also adds how we love complexity. The video goes on about John's own life, eventually pointing out that simplicity is about enjoyment. I found the talk enjoyable and interesting because he also points out statistics towards life like brain strength, physical strength, vision, social responsibilities, and wisdom. He points out that wisdom is always going up.
After the video, we were asked if we wanted to watch another video on John Maeda. Majority said yes. So we watched another video afterwards, a lot of it mixing in with the first video. By near the end of class, we were given time to work on our final though about 75% of the class had walked out to protest for Cal State's budget cuts. Since there were only few of us left in class, we took the time to film each other and take photos of each other for our final.
