TED trivia: Chris Anderson, the founder, got his break in business by starting an 8-bit computer magazine called Amstrad Action. The magazine grew to become a computer publishing empire, Future plc, giving Anderson the funds and freedom to try TED.

(Amstrad Action was a great magazine. I was its freelance tech ed in its last years - gave me my start in journalism.)

Chris Anderson was not TED's founder. That was Richard Saul Wurman. He sold it to Anderson in 2002: https://www.ted.com/about/our-organization/history-of-ted
