The power of introverts by Susan Cain is the first TED Talk I have ever seen. She talks about her experience with the unchanged introvert personality and how hard has she tried to 'fix' it. I always have a thing with the study of personality traits so I find this talk very interesting and I can relate some similarities in between myself and her childhood

We watched a fascinating TED talk on the 6th March.  https://www.ted.com/talks/steven_johnson_how_play_leads_to_great_inventions/transcript?language=en#t-75357
It was about how history is littered with examples of how innovation has been inspired by "play" and "fun".  The TED talk focused on human's love of music,  and the evolution of instruments to further our knowledge, use and application of technology.  The frivolous nature of invention led to the  creation of automated calculating machines, that eventually led to the invention of Charles Babbage's computer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Babbage

My step-father was a mechanical engineer.  He was amazingly creative and resourceful.  My mother's hobby was carriage driving with horses:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fGnIY5zCGFM
This sport was very expensive because you needed  a horsebox, and enough extra space for the carriage.  As you can see, a carriage is very large.  My step-father designed carriages that could be taken apart and packed into a smaller space.  This was revolutionary and allowed him to become very successful.  http://www.bellcrowncarriages.com/carriage/aerocrown

None of business man could inspired me except a special person, CEO of Apple, Inc. Steve Job.
He started his business in his small garage with his friends with out any cash in hand. However, with his potential and his abilities in the market place, Apple now a day is one of the world's famous company.
I love technologies,too. Some of my friend also learn technologies and they have made a lot of money. To all these reasons and inspiration, technologies and communication are my favorite subjects at RMIT .
