Happy Father’s Day from The Peak, GPPA, and Friends of the Scenic Drive. Take a break and enjoy this thought-provoking video.
Take How did we actually learn words to speak from our fathers and mothers. Would you be pleased if your father left a video that captured every moment of your early life?
Deb Roy, a researcher at MIT, actually wired his house to capture activities and sound as they occurred. The results and implications of his research are stunning.
This talk was presented at an official TED conference, and was featured by Ted’s editors on Ted.com’s home page. It’s no wonder!

According to its website, “TED is a nonprofit devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short, powerful talks (18 minutes or less). TED began in 1984 as a conference where Technology, Entertainment and Design converged, and today covers almost all topics — from science to business to global issues — in more than 100 languages. Meanwhile, independently run TEDx events help share ideas in communities around the world.
“Our Mission: Spread ideas
“TED is a global community, welcoming people from every discipline and culture who seek a deeper understanding of the world. We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world. On TED.com, we’re building a clearinghouse of free knowledge from the world’s most inspired thinkers — and a community of curious souls to engage with ideas and each other, both online and at TED and TEDx events around the world, all year long.”
