20 most popular lectures TED Talks of all time

Since 1984, the TED Foundation has been holding conferences, choosing the most interesting topics and the most innovative ideas for them. For example, at the first conference in 1984, the newly released Macintosh, an innovative CD from Sony, the mathematician Benoit Mandelbrot demonstrated the practical application of his theory of fractals, and the artificial intelligence expert Marvin Minsky explained the new mind model.



Each talk (lecture) at the TED conference is called TED Talk and is published online; now there are already more than 400 videos on the site. Since all of them are devoted to unimaginably interesting topics, it is even difficult to guess which ones are of the greatest interest among viewers. The official blog TED Blog has published a list of the top 20 lectures over all times in the number of views, collecting statistics from TED.com, Youtube, iTunes, Hulu, embedded frames, number of downloads, etc.
