TED talks - Norman Foster and Malcolm Gladwell

These are two talks I found interesting from TED talks.  TED = Technology, Education and Design, so these talks, of which there are 200 archived to listen to are released on a creative commons license.

1st is the architect Norman Foster

2nd is the author Malcolm Gladwell 

Malcolm Gladwell has written 2 of my favourite books, Blink and The Tipping Point.  He also has his own website, www.gladwell.com with info on these books and his archives for The New Yorker. 

Blink and The Tipping Point are aposite for our course, as we are meant to devise things that are possibly about "blink", that is, perhaps being intuitive about what could become a trend and way before the tipping point is reached.
