Morgan Spurlock TED Talk

Morgan Spurlock's TED talk was titled, The Greatest TED Talk ever sold. This idea talks about Morgan's new idea to sell the rights of the name to his TED talk on Ebay! This idea seemed very smart considering that inside the TED talk, he expanded even more into this idea. What I took away from this video is that as humans, we all see brands in our life and can even be characterized by "our own" brands, but when you sell the rights to anything big, like these brands, major money can be tossed around. I also took away that a lot of company's in this time are very hesitant with a lot of things. Most of the companies Morgan tried to get on his side denied him right away and left him in the dust. I think that this is because of our economy today. People in the economy, in other words, businesses, are more hesitant because of their personal finances. No one wanted to take a huge enough risk like the one that Morgan Presented to them!! One of the things that I loved the most about this video, was the way that Morgan talked and presented his presentation. His talking and presentation was very smart because It put sidetracked things into the talk, without making a huge enough distraction that the viewers thoughts get off topic. For example, he would be talking about something serious, and then just for fun, would add a joke or a funny statement into it to make things funnier and more interesting. This helped a lot because it was enough to keep my attention but not enough to be a major distraction. His presentation also incorporated a lot of videos that happened off site, but brought his points together. I think that a lot of things matter from this video, especially because of the time that we are in right now. With the government and the economy as bad as it is currently, companies are not making as many risky choices which in the long run slows things down even more. I think that the actual idea behind Morgan's TED talk will come into play in the future. Overall, this TED talk was very enjoyable to watch and think about.
