It s a TED tradition: when the stage lights go up at the beginning of a talk, the little gadgets go away iPhones, iPads, and Blackberries all have to be powered down, even by the tech big wigs who were in attendance, including Amazon s Jeff Bezos, Linked In s Reed Hoffman, and Google s Marissa Mayer. Fully listen without technological distraction. Though it sounds simple, it was the most radical message being spread at TED 2012.
