A list of remarkable TED talks that I curated from my bookmarks

Electrical Safety 101 (in plain English)

..Or "how not to die electrocuted?" -Part 1-

"We fear things in proportion to our ignorance of them" This perfectly applies to electricity. It is there since you were born, it's something so conventional, so why bother trying to understand how it works?
 Developing good practices will save your life. And it isn't just about not touching a switch with wet hands.

Visiting The Moon Without Leaving Earth

 It is said that background music can promote cognitive performance or impair it depending on the genre and the type of activity. Some prefer binaural beats instead because they find music distracting. Strangely enough I can concentrate against the backdrop of space shuttles radio transmission. I just like that muffled sound, it feels like being with the crew on the cockpit isolating oneself form the earth and its problems, and only focusing on the mission at hand.

WiFi 101 (In plain English) -part 1/2-

..Or "How far can my wireless router reach?"

 I used to design indoor wireless coverage systems for mobile operators, and I get asked this question a LOT. The answer was always a frustratingly vague, "It depends." My goal here is to demystify that answer by looking at the three key "ingredients" at play: Your Router, The Medium it travels through, and Your Device.
