Milton Tan: How we humans fish, hunt and farm for ideas
TEDxYouthDay on Saturday 20 November featured our inaugural screening of this TEDx Talk by the late Dr. Milton Tan.
Milton was a huge TED fan and joined the TED community within hours of the launch of TEDx. Our first large-scale gathering of the TED Community in November 2009 happened because of his support. In August 2010, we invited Milton to give his first TEDx Talk at our 5th TEDx event called [ i ]. He was deeply passionate and dedicated: He delivered this Talk right after his medical treatment at hospital that same morning. Milton passed away on 8 November 2010. As tribute and thanks, on 20 November 2010, we dedicated our 7th idea event, global TEDxYouthDay to him.
We miss you. Your ideas will live on through your TEDx Talk and continue to spread to curious souls in the world. Thank you, Milton, for sharing your imagination with us, for giving us laughter, for opening wondrous windows in our minds and hearts...
