PopTech: It’s Like TED but – well, it’s really like TED

Posted on November 5, 2009 by No Comments

I can’t believe I’ve never heard of PopTech. Really. I’ve been a huuuuuuuuuuge fan of the TED conference (someday I hope to actually attend) because the videos and concepts are consistently inspiring and change the way I think about a lot of different issues in tech and politics. But mostly they just amaze me with how smart and creative some people are.

So, PopTech. Again, very similar to TED but I’ve also really dug the talks and am super happy that they’ve been posted online. Here is an embed of Jonathan Harris (who I first saw via TED) talking about web stories and how technology and data has changed the way we’re able to tell them. You’ll be amazed, I promise. It’s an updated version of the talk he gave at TED but I still wanted to share. More PopTech talks will be embedded here for sure as I weed through them all.
