3 Powerful Presentations at TED

Carl Safina: What are animals thinking and feeling?

This presentation shows a lot of power point skills, first starting off with visuals coming in and leaving the screen.  It flashes to the next page, and also has wording come up as the slide is still rolling.  This also has video playing in between slides.  It has clear visuals, and interesting messaging.

Phillip Zimbardo: The psychology of time

This presentation talks about how things have changed and formed over time.  It starts by zooming in to an older era movie set, counting down the clock.  Then moves to some picture slides of old pictures of Adam and Eve.  There are very good slides of words popping up in various spots on the slide, one by one in order. Different colors, sizes and shapes are used.

Suzana Herculano-Houzel: What is so special about the human brain?

Suzana is trying to describe how and why the human brain is so large and the same size for everyone, when our bodies are  all different sizes.  There are visual pictures of the human brain and then different animals pop up in the same slide.  This presentation uses good picture pop ups and fading to and from the slide.  There are proportionate sizes of different types of brains that are organized in the slide to go in order from left to right, on the same slide.  There are also still images along side with moving visuals.
