I wanted three presentations/talks on www.ted.com and I purposely chose three different types so I could compare them. One was informative, one was inspirational, and one was jaw dropping. The first one, the informational talk was by Daniel Wolpert: The Real Reason for Brains. Wolpert stood front stage during his talk with a screen behind and above him. He used visuals to enhance his speech and he added bits of easy humor.
The second talk was by Matt Cutts: Try Something New For 30 Days. Cutts talk was about the same as the previous one although he also added examples for clarity.
The third talk was Arthur Benjamin Does Mathemagic. This was my favorite not only due to the manner in which it was presented but also the content. Benjamin was very animated and moved across the stage engaging the audience with his “wow” factor of mathemagic. He used humor effortlessly and it was clear that he has performed in this manner often. He announced when he would be wrapping up, which is recommended when presenting.
