Susan Cain: The Power of Introverts

This TED talk interested me because I feel like I am an introvert. I feel like Susan read my face and knows exactly what my life was from her talk. This talk wasn't as confusing or as weird as some other talks that we have seen. Her point about how the extroverts assert more control than the introverts seem to be true. I have seen many of these leaders, but there are also many introvert leaders in history who have been successful. The way she shows us the things in the bag also seems expected if you think about it too.

Suggested TED Talk

Sergey Brin: Why Google Glass?

This TED talk is quite interesting, maybe only to me. This is because it is about Google Glass which could be an innovation where humans get more advanced. The speaker is part of the team who created the Google Glass so it is information.
