From Amazon:
TED is a nonprofit devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. It started out (in 1984) as a conference bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Entertainment, Design. Since then its scope has become ever broader. Along with two annual conferences, TED includes the award-winning TEDTalks video site, the Open Translation Project and TED Conversations, the inspiring TED Fellows and TEDx programs, and the annual TED Prize.

Amazon reviewer Ron Sheldon says:
Enormous selection of topics. Short high powered lectures with visual content. Listen to experts in their area of accomplishment with well prepared presentations for a discriminating audience. This is the most meaningful app I have downloaded. I would dump all the games and social network stuff before I would remove this app.
TED: all the fascinating, amusing and informative lectures you’ve come to expect from TEDTalks, now in a handy, portable app!
