I asked [TED Curator Chris Anderson] what the role of TED will be in the future:

“Our role is to nurture, to plant seeds, to remove a few weeds and to marvel at life and creativity. I don’t see that changing. Part to answer your question is to say just wait and see. I’m pretty confident that the TED garden is still young. And the strengths of curiosity, knowledge sharing, global connectedness are still the unbridled, powerful forces in the new TEDx world. I think it’s going to be very exciting to see how it grows.
