What Tech Should Be Seen At TED?
J0sh writes "I've been lucky enough to be asked to do tech spotting for the TED conference, one of the biggest and most exclusive technology, entertainment, and design conferences in the US. Many of the folks there are superstars in their field (like Craig Venter and Stephen Hawking), and most of them have the opportunity to take action on the technology that they see there. The problem is that I'm only one guy trying to find the most mind-blowing technology on the planet in order to inform the few people who can make an immediate impact with it. I figured if there's one place to find those kinds of advances, it's here. What unknown tech is about to completely change the world that these people need to know about? Let me know."
MoTD seems to apply to you...
You will be reincarnated as a toad; and you will be much happier.
You express being alone in finding the most mind blowing tech on the planet. By posting your question on an English language site you still lack the eyes of the largest part of the world population, in locations at least as active in technology as the regions where English is commonly spoken. Often the technology we use in the West has been out for quite a while in the Far East.
Would it help your cause to translate this question into for example Mandarin, Japanese and Indian in order to post it on /. alike sites in the far east? Possibly also Taiwanese? Do the folks on /. maybe know of the /. counterpart for people speaking other languages?
