Bono 2: The good news on poverty (Yes, there's good news) (script)
Summary
The speaker Bono is Irish who received the TED prize on 2005 and he has tackled the anti-poverty campaigning for 25 years. In fact, there has been inequality and poverty from three millennia. At last, we can see the good news about it and it's speeding up. Some African countries are getting drugs to save from HIV and AIDS and from malaria, children started to be saved. The child mortality rate is decreasing. Thanks to the world financial support. People living in huge poverty is going to zero in 2030.
All people can choose their lives, it'll change despair to hope. However,  the activities should be continued and there's still work to do. We face a new problem that is political corruption. In developing countries, oil is the most important resource but it shouldn't be controlled by government and companies. It should be distributed to people living there.
There's still work to do because the power of people gathering is so much stronger than their authority.

TED prize 2005 Bono 1:My wish: Three actions for Africa (script)
Summary
The speaker said in this talk that Africa was a magical place. However, many African people are dying every single day but the cause is a preventable or treatable disease. That is not the cause. That has already been an emergency but we don't look at it. This is an unprecedented threat to human dignity and equality. It's never allowed to happen anywhere else. Actually, African might mock our ideas and concern, but we have to do. It's because this is not all that about theoretical charity. This is about justice.  His three wishes are to build a social movement for Africa, to just hit them who are living on less than one dollar a day, and to connect their lives to every hospital, health clinic and school in one African country. What we do is not only to save African lives but we can also receive goodwill, stability, and security of would.
How do you answer if you're asked by African to take his son with you? His son would live in your country, but in his country, his son would die.

TED prize 2013 Sugata Mitra 3: Build a School in the Cloud (script)
Summary
What kind of job can you get in the future by only having the skills you learn now?
The world has lots of computers. However, children, especially children living in poor areas don't know about it and they don't even have a chance to touch them. Education should be equal for all children. They have abilities to learn themselves. They won't need teachers. If someone who teaches children just admires them, their skills will get better.
Self Organized Learning Environment (SOLE) is a school that the speaker wants to create in the cloud. It's designed for the future of learning where children all over the world freely learn with their own hands. Furthermore, they can enjoy and cooperate with their friends. They don't need to go to boring schools unwillingly. They can be ready for their own future.

Sugata Mitra2: The child-driven education

TEDGlobal 2010
Sugata Mitra2: The child-driven education (script)
Summary
You can use a computer when you study something, can't you? However, there are many children in the world who can't receive good education still but they don't have a computer. Furthermore, there are very far areas from the city and teachers don't want to go there where English is not used  also.
Then the speaker noticed that all children have a motivation that they can learn themselves and those problems can be solved simultaneously.
He is building a furniture. Why it is called like that. It is because it started in some slums by a computer embedded into a wall like a furniture. It's called the Self Organized  Learning Environments (SOLE) and tested many times. Children can learn many things by themselves, by using it. Even if there is no teacher there, they can study.
It's needed more tests. Education happens when children have interest. It should be started.

Sugata Mitra1: Kids can teach themselves

Sugata Mitra1: Kids can teach themselves (script)
summary
What do you think about taking education and technology? You think that it won't be needed there, don't you. It shows that there are students who can receive better education already. It's because it's tested in the best schools in the urban. There are perfect teachers and perfect schools there. If students live in areas which are very far from the city, and which teaches don't want to go, they won't receive better education. Future educational technology should be used for such students. We have to think that remoteness affects the quality of education. Educational technology should be introduced into remote areas first. There are values that doctrine and dogma are imposed on the education. Leaving is most likely a self organizing system. It's not how to use the correct technology for education but an educational technology should be digital, automatic, fault tolerant, minimally invasive, connected and self organized. It's because children in the world have skills that can teach themselves.
Words in this story
remoteness / solitude, isolation
doctrine / a belief or set of beliefs held and taught by a church, political party, or other group.
dogma /a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true. : teaching, belief

Summary
Now some companies are stealing millions from citizens around the world. Then its companies are hidden by anonymous companies. It makes it almost hard to find and hold them responsible. It quite spread. Anonymous companies really work for sanctions busting. It's because opening an anonymous company is really easy. You don't need indemnification. There are company service providers which legally create anonymous companies. Even if you don't use your true name but you can use nominees, it's not for public record. And then, you can simply add layers that mean that companies owed by companies again and again.
In the past, companies were created to limit financial risk and to give people a chance to innovate, but now it's forgotten. However, it shouldn't be all accepted what companies do or how company structures are used. Anonymous companies shouldn't exist to protect our society and we have to know who owes and control companies.
Words in this story
anonymous / (of a person) not identified by name; of unknown name.
