Words at Play : Words We Re-Learned at TED2015
Compassion is "the feeling of wanting to help someone who is sick, hungry, or in trouble". What starts with empathy moves to the realm of action through compassion. We heard from speakers who are using science, innovation, and inspiration to help people in so many different situations: from at-risk youth here in America to enslaved children in India, from helping the blind to "see" to a new 3D printer that harnesses light and oxygen to create objects up to 100 times faster than we do now. Imagine this last being used to create made-to-order medical stents while a patient lies on the table.
