Pranav Mistry

My take aways from this video are my thoughts about how I can't wait for this technology to have mainstream usage. It is an incredibly intelligent and useful idea and will be very useful in the future. Pranav's effective speaking technique is using hand gestures and being exactly on with his slides, in order to have an effective, ordered, and intelligent presentation. His presentation style is his bounty of evidence he puts forth to the audience. What matters here is human progress. Sixth-sense technology will make humans much more "evolved" and be able to do much more. It's also convenient compared to current systems. At this point in time, to take a picture, you have to take out a camera. To play a game, or make a call, you need to pull out a phone. With this, you can conveniently do everything efficiently.  The future will change the lives of all, and it will be all for the better.

Dave Eggers

My take aways from this talk is how strong it's message is. Reaching students for education is something that really matters. Students shape the future because they are the young adults of tomorrow. If schools all took an intelligent approach like this, America's position in the world. Extensive teaching and opportunities make students' progress rise incredibly in learning. Eggers' effective techniques are making sure he has a truckload of interesting information in his TED talk. Dave's presentation style is laughing along with the audience, making it seem like he's the audience member's best friend talking to them on the weekend. What really matters from this video to education and the world is how the kids are taught. They are children who don't do many productive/mentally enriching things at home, and after being tutored, are excited about writing. Some children don't know how smart and intelligent they are, and only through education can it be brought out. Dave Eggers' TED wish was something that was really different compared to all other TED talks I have seen. He had a powerful call to action that should make people inspired to hopefully change the world.
