I joined a live
youth ministry chat hosted by
Tim Schmoyer today and we were talking about communicating. Later, I checked out the
TED Conference that concludes this week in
Long Beach, California and caught
Bill Gates' talk. He did one of the most creative things I've seen yet. He apparently wanted to make his point stick so during his talk the he released a jar full of
live mosquitos as he was presenting about how he is changing the world (specifically by tackling Malaria).
"I brought some. Here, I’ll let them roam around. There is no reason only poor people should be infected.” Now
THAT is memorable.
((Just a tip: If I'm ever in the audience and you are the communicator don't ever release snakes from the stage to make a point or I'm outta there.))Click here to view his
entire speech.
