This talk came from an 11 year old boy who had a passion about what food we buy in the super market. His name is Birke Beahr, when he was younger he wanted to be a NFL football player but now all he wants to be is a local organic farmer that supplies fresh food and produce. One of the phrase’s that I remember is ‘ do you want to pay the farmer or the hospital.
The way that Birke got his messages across was at the start he warmed up his audience with an example of a fish tomato and that made most people laugh, he also spoke with a lot of emotion in his voice and spoke with passion. I also liked his gestures but he used them a lot.
Birke had support from a lapel mic and the screen projector also the speakers that you cannot see but hear and are very affective.
As I said earlier he used gestures a lot and that’s an under statement, he used the whole stage and talked with reason and passion and he was devoted to his topic and you can sense it. I really connected with him and I was engaged the whole time and all of these things make a great TED Talk.
