Nokia's Tero Ojanpera on cell phones changing the world:

With cheap mobile phone, farmers in Africa can get crop prices, so they don't get ripped off when middlmen buyers come to their villages and offer low rates for their goods. Kids in India can learn English through text-message-based applications. People and rural places can communicate with doctors in bigger cities. They can access info about diseases through text message apps, too.

I've always loved watching TED talks.. and, although I think this community already "gets it" on this topic, I think it's great to see someone elaborating on it in public for everyone to hear it.

Checked TED homepage due to Texrat's post, and seeing Jamie Oliver receiving TED award on front page...well that might be the jumping shark moment for TED as far as I'm concerned.
