@barrywilliamsmb 12 лет назад

Wow - great story well told. Thank you TED and Ian.

@WinstonHarris 12 лет назад

i think that this video points out that we should not exclude new ideas, but to try and see reason in them and then make a decision on whether or not it would be a viable venture to go in on.

@woohoobulot Bravo!!! Excellent thing to do about this loud intro! 0:15

@SilverRush75 11 лет назад

The beginning noise is incredibly loud, obnoxious, and unnecessary. They really need to change it.

@munawt 12 лет назад

@woohoobulot it not that they are impatient, its the sound at the begining is so loud that its annoying, so they want to skip it.

@GrahamTVdotNet 12 лет назад

Very Good Tag line at the End. Interesting story about missed opportunities. It's all about imagination and our perseverance, and our ability to recognise those Fantastic opportunities.

@Nitrousx what do you mean you dont understand? That guy is worth 700 M dollars, but is he happy? Because they say money doesnt buy happiness, but obviously that guy is happy.

@Myrmidon717 12 лет назад

i really appreciate anyone who types 0:15 and TED for bringing these videos to youtube. Thank you. Funny how people complaining about others using 0:15 sec mark are themselves complaining about a petty thing.

@villebre1 12 лет назад

Patience and understanding my young jedis, no skipping intro 4 u!

@farvision 12 лет назад

The outro is too loud too TED!!!

@TheThomaswastaken 12 лет назад

That sound at the beginning doesn't bother me at all.

@blondwiththewind 8 лет назад

That was a long buildup to a GREAT PUNCHLINE!!! :D ~RED ☮♥♫

@Malphar 12 лет назад

@woohoobulot but they already posted one on efficiency and net cooperation

@essen961 12 лет назад

Loved the joke at the end! Priceless!!!!!!!

@kewlpersin 12 лет назад

@gaiagale Click on the speaker in the bottom of the video to mute the sound. Click it again 15 seconds later to unmute it.

@Tehtog 12 лет назад

@woohoobulot It's not patience. The start is SO LOUD compared to the talk

@xzation 12 лет назад

@woohoobulot it's not about the length of the intro, it's about the volume, lol.

@biermeester 12 лет назад

@woohoobulot Or a video on how to make ear plugs, since most people who like to skip probably do so because of the very loud intro.

@Speedy.V 12 лет назад

WHAT THE HELL IS THE GUYS NAME AT THE END, i cant understand what the name is, and i would like to learn more about who that guy is...

@Kadoffel 12 лет назад

@woohoobulot Sapere aude! One does not have to suffer from a too loud intro!

@Umbalafum 12 лет назад

@woohoobulot it's not about patience, it's about the volume.

@sagiras 12 лет назад

Very interesting story. Specially about memex. There is alot of rumors and conspiracy theorys about memex and project Xanadu.

@DarkNemesis25 12 лет назад

@woohoobulot its not that we need to see the video faster.. TED is famous for having an extremely loud intro. when listening form a mobile device or with headphones or even speakers the volume levels are painful to the ears

@holdmybeer 12 лет назад

haha he got photo bombed at 4:00

@Chino747747 12 лет назад

What new idea was there??? He only said that he has turned down Tim Berners-Lee once. That's something which often happens for many inventors.

@beriukay 12 лет назад

@woohoobulot It isn't about patience... it's about hearing protection.

@holdmybeer 12 лет назад

damn i always start daydreaming and have to go back to watch :(

@hotkonto 12 лет назад

@woohoobulot It's not so much about patience. It's more about skipping that insanely loud intro.

@woohoobulot 12 лет назад

they should post a video about patience so people will stop posting 0:15

@rackslap 12 лет назад

@woohoobulot It's not about patience, it's the deafeningly loud intro that people want to skip. To save their ears.

@DonRade 12 лет назад

Can somebody explain me the joke? I dont get it.. :/

@BlockchainDaddy 6 лет назад

He turned down to make the internet browser so someone else made it and became rich.

@MusicbyWordPlay 12 лет назад

@woohoobulot it has nothing to do with patience, obviously you either havent watched many TED videos or havent watched them for very long

@Speedy.V 12 лет назад

@DaveNRGClarke thank you i found him out already

@HagazX 12 лет назад

History of the computers + internet in 5 minutes....

@pikiwiki 12 лет назад

@bukssna aaaah, he's got whatever amount of money.... does it matter if he's happy?/if he has that much money it doesn't matter if he's happy/he has that much money-he's automatically happy (rhetorical question)

@2nd3rd1st 12 лет назад

That was a funny talk, very out of left field. I didn't get the punchline though. Is Marc Andreessen generally not a happy person that this became a general joke about him?

@Cyllid 12 лет назад

@BroBroDude Cuz muting is sooooooooo much harder than clicking on 15, or clicking at 15ish seconds into the video.

@Imperiused 12 лет назад

What exactly was the point of this?

@BlockchainDaddy 6 лет назад

laughter

@pinochska 12 лет назад

@geragna lol and the reason would be?

@CognosSquare 12 лет назад

If this speech was held by Dane Cook. Hey guys I turned down TBL and Im telling EVERONE!

@PZenki 12 лет назад

@woohoobulot I just clicked your little time link thing... That's why I up-voted you.

@OmnicideX 12 лет назад

4:38 - creepy laugh ...

@belliebum12 12 лет назад

@oyohan Massive innovations that resulted in computers and the internet as we know them today are all based on coincidental chance meetings of the right people with the right decisions.

@shinisaber 3 года назад

Not necessarily. No matter who published the browser it would of took of regardless. It was the persistence of tim which led him to find the right guy.

@pinochska 12 лет назад

4:01 you can see the obvious photoshop

@WinstonHarris 12 лет назад

@Nitrousx if you follow TEDtalks then you will find it funny...

@TheBassHeavy 12 лет назад

Haha I guess this is why you shouldn't ever turn down work.

@BlockchainDaddy 6 лет назад

Sometimes you need to say no to good to say yes to great.

@BBwoan 12 лет назад

Glad I'm not the only one cringing with each ted intro and outro. They are way too loud ted.

@azaz129 12 лет назад

@2nd3rd1st The joke is about money not buying happiness.

@sensur1 12 лет назад

foist

@bienboy2710 12 лет назад

@woohoobulot booo

@HBSanta 12 лет назад

@woohoobulot No, they should just get rid of the stupid intro and get right to the talk.

@DeoMachina 12 лет назад

Hahaha, gutted

@ytubeanon 12 лет назад

His joke at the end wasn't that funny, it was self-deprecating.... jeez you'd think he was Louis CK with the way you people comment. Everything the speaker says for the rest of his life will be dramatic or an inside-joke based on his having a complex about being such a failure of historical-proportions.
