As a record-holding memory athlete, Simon Reinhard knows better than anyone that our memory is a powerful tool — and yet, it is very limited. After a spectacular demonstration of number memorization, he explains why we can remember things better if we put them into context, and teaches us how to go beyond the current abilities of our memory. With personal stories, he shows how this technique can help you at school, in your career, or even if you just want to make a point in a discussion.

Simon Reihnard was born in Munich and studied Law there, finishing in the top 7.5% of his class. During his university career, he came into contact with memory techniques; he learned that there was such a thing as „memory sports“, the competitive memorizing of different kinds of information (numbers, names, words, cards) in a set tournament format. He started competing right away and found it thoroughly fascinating to memorize more and more information with the help of techniques which use a set of locations and images.

When a gang lord told novelist Ryan Gattis to cut to the chase, he did. Surprising to the Chapman University professor was that the command was also a gift that released his creativity and helped guide him to the completion of his acclaimed novel about the Los Angeles riots of 1992, All Involved: A Novel of the 1992 L.A. Riots.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Gattis is also the author of novels Kung Fu High School and Roo Kickkick

Іргелі ғылымның маңызын барлық адам түсінетін сияқты, бірақ шын мәнінде оның қажеттілігі мен пайдасын көп адам түсіндіріп бере алмайды. Іргелі ғылымның негізгі міндеті табиғаттағы немесе қоғамдағы үрдісті неліктен солай болатынын түсіндіру. Жұлдыздар шаң-тозаң, газдардың шоғырланып тығыздығы артқан кезде жаратылады. Сол сияқты білім де бастапқыда көзге көрінбейді. Бірақ белгілі бір тығыздықты қалыптастырған кезде революциялық ойларды тудырады — қоғамда және ғылым мен техникада прогресс жасалады.

Герой выпуска – журналист, телеведущий, писатель Владимир Познер. На встречу с мэтром журналистики пришло много детей из журналистских кружков. Их интересовало, какой видится Познеру журналистика будущего, какие ошибки совершают молодые журналисты, как им предстоит приспосабливаться к реальности, в которой интернет конкурирует с телевидением. Владимир Познер не давал никаких футуристических прогнозов, напротив, заверил детей, что, несмотря на технологические прорывы, профессия журналиста остается неизменной в своей основе. По теории Познера, журналистике нельзя научиться, к ней можно только прийти с жизненным опытом. Лучше всего с таким богатым и наполненным невероятными событиями, как у самого Владимира Владимировича. Познер рассказал, как учил русский язык, какие кошмары мучают его во сне, что он сам считает своими достижениями и чего так и не смог себе простить.
