TED was something, that was enjoyed
by a thousand people once a year.
Today, it's something enjoyed
by about three hundred thousand people every day.

This event here today actually seems
equally miraculous.
TED itself had really nothing to do with organizing it
It's one of more than a hundred that will be held
this year, around the world.
This is being done for passion.
Perception is not a passive process.
We are active participants in this game.
We're now being told,
that 96% of the universe, even with all our devices,
is stuff we can't even see.
All around the world
can share the same vision
in real-time.
Let's talk about dentists, vasectomies,
guns and shark attacks.
Take a breath now.
And, as you breathe, think
about what is in your breath.
It's an incredible honor,
to be involved in a brand new think that TED is doing.
I think it's life-changing.
It will shake the existent world.
The world has tainted its music
and we are going to restore
the passion, the energy, the feel,
the tanor that lives inside this music.
TED is part of a much bigger revolution
and global education, that's made possible by the web.

You can't just relax and let other people
around the world spread inspiration.
Your life's only have to take responsibility for it
and do something yourself.
