I couldn't help but wonder that if she could only see a foot or so infront of her how she got through school is she wasn't aware of her blindness at the time.
This Bjorn Lomborg clip from TED2005 is, IMHO, quite good . . [broken link removed]

Or
How e-voting can enable vote selling.
How do you mean? From the talk..the voter is given a voting sheet. One half of this is a receipt which the voter can then compare to the online results to confirm the vote was counted as voted. The results are all posted on the internet where the totals can be verified. By getting people to check that their votes were recorded as enterer there is no possibility of fraud etc.
All I have to do is arrange to have my friendly local politician sitting beside me at home when I verify my vote. Then I have proved to him/her that I voted for him, and he/she gives me a nice shiny €100 note.
I think it does raise a broader issue about an apparent lack of oversight on this TED stuff. I've seen some very interesting stuff here, but I've also seen some very flawed stuff.
