Like other TED postings ive made on my blog over the last 5 years, this site is well worth regular visits, it was there before youtube but perhaps isnt quite so entertaining, but thats not what its about: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/ann_cooper_talks_school_lunches.html for example this one fits neatly into my post here (08/03/08 if you want a UK message, which tames the US passion and slightly OTT message of the video) on feeding kids earlier this year and also the one on local food issue http://nickhorslen.blogspot.com/search?q=locavore

The shear excitement of this both on TV and Radio I would not have expected to be captured but BBC Radio4 and BBC news on TV really did create the excitment and show how a collosal project can be delivered to plan - unbelievable!!

The top headline on BBC and CNN and all the others this very hour as it has happened.

"Watching the box" a whole new dimension!!

This one gets you thinking!!

"The Box is an ambitious and unique year-long project for BBC News to tell the story of international trade and globalisation by tracking a standard shipping container around the world."

This comes off the trend in the 90's for RFID and satelite tracking of everything from trucks to animals:

What is good is it puts the spotlight on the real process of trade. I wonder how else it could highlight other important trends and movement?
