it's amazing how much TED-Ed has changed through the years. It started out like this, and look what it has become now. It's one of the best animators and also has really good theme music and great voices.

Shout out to McLean. The Suez Canal wouldn’t be jammed the same way without you.

Others might have had the same idea, but he was the first one to put it into practice. Which is quite an accomplishment in itself. It's easy to look at what someone else has done, and say, "I thought of that first." But if one doesn't do anything with the idea, then it benefits nobody.

Came to their 1st video to celebrate the 10 year anniversary. It's amazing how much they've improved in writing, animating and voice acting while keeping to their core values! So glad I'm able to learn so much through them and I'm excited to see what they do next!

Never stop learning

Ted-Education, or Ted-Ed for short, is a YouTube channel that currently has 8.2 million subscribers. It publishes videos that are like a short documentary on the Google-owned YouTube. It started in 2012, and is still currently publishing new videos.

This is the first video ever that this channel made.

There was more to it. Detachable Trailer, Ships built to carry those containers, and Crain's to move the containers efficiently between the two. The video is a story of the process of what we have coined as, "Globalization." What spawned his innovation, how he went about it, and how it has impacted our world. The "truck driver" also had a name, Malcom McLean.
