Peak TED is actually this video on how to use one paper towel when washing your hands: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FMBSblpcrc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FMBSblpcrc. You mean if you shake your hands and fling water all over the bathroom then you don't need as much paper to absorb the remaining water? How revolutionary.
- thomasahle 11y agoWhy was that talk banned? Doesn't seem very controversial?
- tdeck 11y agoScoff all you want, but in the years since I watched that I have dried my hands with one paper towel every time. One anecdote, sure, and I don't watch TED anymore. But this is hardly the worst TED talk. At least it provided some practical advice rather than vaguely asserting some breakthrough.
- myNXTact 11y agoIt is hands down the most influential Ted talk I've ever watched. It is very trivial, but I think it about it several times a day wherever I wash my hands in a public bathroom.
- brohee 11y agoI hope you saw the shoelace tying one. Maybe you're doing it wrong like I used to before seeing it.
- lucd 11y agoThe video on how to use one paper towel is not from TED conference. It's TEDx
- wrs 11y agoHowever, there was an audience member talk at TED itself on how to tie your shoes that I believe was very influential. :) Not sure if there's an online video of it.
- bobbygoodlatte 11y agoThe talk wasn't 'banned'. Many of the talks from TED never make it online. They only post one a day, and have a huge back-log of great talks to post. Nick's original talk just didn't make the cut. I genuinely believe that was an editorial decision, not a political one. To that point, he gave an improved version of the talk a few years later which TED gladly posted online here: http://www.ted.com/talks/nick_hanauer_beware_fellow_plutocrats_the_pitchforks_are_coming http://www.ted.com/talks/nick_hanauer_beware_fellow_plutocra...
