Dan Pink (Ted Talk 3)

After watching Dan Pink's ted talk, there are several things I took away from this video. The most important thing I learned was that when people are given the oppurtunity to recieve rewards, their creaivity is limited. This is something that is important because in today's society, everything has a reward. If there isn't a reward, most people see no point. However, rewards are actually causing people to loose creativity. Pink's speaking techniques were very clear. He used hand gesturures, moved around the stage, talked slowly, did not use only one tone, and he used hidden humor. These things all helped me understand his messeges more clear. When he used more then one tone, it really helped so that I coould tell what his mode was. IE: if he was being sarcastic, if he was upset/angry, etc. All of his techinques were very helpful. Pink also had a couple of presentation techniques. Those included that he showed many visual  examples and that he connected to the audience a lot. This was a good idea because it showed he was trying to include them instead of just makinf it about him. The visuals were also very helful because some people, including me, are much better at taking things in when they see them. What is most imprtant about this video is the fact that Pinkk stresses how much rewards can take away creativity. This is because it really shows how much a mind can be altered when something is offered. This video doesn't exactly connect to me in any way. This video connects to education severely. This is because students work so much harder because of grades, but if they weren't being graded on everything they would probably be able to be more creative. This aslo relates to the world in the exact same world excpet for not fro grades, but for money. Dan Pink's ted talk was very intense and motivating. He had good points and a lot of detail to stress those points.
