Ted Talk Response #6 Ebina Kenichi

In this ted talk, Ebina Kenichi showed his talent for magic tricks. He did things like act like he had extra limbs, and send a light from one hand to the other. Although interesting, I didn't like the overall presentation much. I kept waiting for him to say something, but he just kept doing magic tricks. What i disliked most was that i thought Ted Talks were supposed to be about something that matters to you, and should matter to the rest of the world. I'm sure magic matters to Kenichi, but I'm not so sure it should matter much to the rest of the world. Most of the previous Ted Talks had to do with something that would effect not only themselves, but the world around them. I was so disappointed with this talk that i almost turned it off, but i thought this post would be very different from my last posts, giving my blog variety. Don't get me wrong, i really did think the tricks were cool. But cool doesn't change or help the world, which has been the goal of most of the previous speakers I've seen. As interesting as magic was, I can barely write a decent response due to the lack of information provided. That's annoying to me, and makes me dislike it even more...
