Chris Anderson

Chris Anderson new organizer of TED was born in Pakistan and

graduated in philosophy from Oxford University. He started his career as a
journalist in a newspaper, later he became editor of a UK’s early computer
magazines and then after few years he started a magazine himself and this went to
the heights of his career.

In his speech Chris gave a gist of his experience of his life, the way the company
grew and reached an unexpected position and later he faced a massive disaster and
was sick of seeing people fired from his own company. This all made him to look
back once again into his life and the worse thing he found was that his business life
was very much tied up with his personal life affecting his happiness. He also
mentioned that in all his life while he was busy in his business and playing games
the whole world has changed a lot and advanced massively.

After seeing a TED talk in 2001 he has decided to dedicate his further time on
TED as it’s the place where ideas are spread. He introduced some new features into
the TED like every one of its family are going to receive a books which he thinks
is most effective way of persuading a idea of being with TED.
