Do Schools kill creativity? by Sir Ken Robinson. A speaker and an educator give a thought provoking and funny talk on whether the schools kill the creativity of students. 




We are in a society, where everybody wants to perform multiple tasks at the same time. We believe we are all multitaskers, but in reality, we can only focus on one thing for a very limited time. This attention span of ours can be advantageous for con artists.  Apollo Robbins, Gentleman thief demonstrates this in his mesmerizing talk, the art of misdirection.
