Two other TEDx events were held this weekend in Spain: <a href="http://www.tedxgalicia.com/">TEDxGalicia</a> and <a href="http://www.tedxponferrada.com/">TEDxPonferrada</a> on Friday, but I couldn't pay attention to those two because it was a weekday, I'll wait for the videos to be published.</p> <p><a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/TED">TED events</a> are a set of conferences where speakers can talk about different topics. Originally these were mostly technological topics, as the name suggests. Later they were opened to some other topics having as objective dissemination and science. Then more topics where allowed and nowadays they cover a lot of issues and their current slogan is "Ideas worth spreading". Although <a href="http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/culture/guystagg/100061774/the-once-brilliant-ted-talks-have-turned-into-embarrassing-self-help-seminars/">opinions</a> have emerged lately that say TED principles have gradually been corrupted to accommodate other ideas that do not deserve so worth spreading.</p>
