Gever Tulley - TED Talk #8

  This TED Talk was all about safety despite its name. If kids are more exposed to dangerous objects then they will know how to treat them when they encounter them in a dangerous situation. These tools can also be useful to kids if they learn how to use them safely. These tools also help kids learn more about their surrounding world. During this TED Talk Gever spoke clearly and didn't stutter. It was easy to listen to him which made it easier to grasp the subject. during his speech he influenced people to expose their children to 'dangerous' things like cars and knives. He used the petcha cucha style of presenting. The slides contained no words just pictures. The pictures were of the dangerous things he was trying to convince parents to let their kids use. This helped to show that these tools maybe are not so dangerous after all. This applies to everyone because if we can learn to expose kids to dangerous things earlier in their lives they may be less injury prone. Also kids will be able to expand their learning range if their are allowed to use such tools.
