gathering very best minds from【M1】______ around the world, from every discipline. Since were living in an age of abundant, not scarcely, information, you d curate the【M2】______ lectures carefully, with a focus on the new and original, rather than offer a course on every possible topic. You d create a sustainable economic model by focusing on technological rather than physical infrastructure, and by getting people of mean to【M3】______ pay for a specialized experience. You d also construct a robust network so people could access to resources whenever and from【M4】______ wherever they like, and you d give them the tools to collaborate beyond the lecture hall. Why not fulfill the university【M5】______ millennium-old mission by sharing ideas freely and as widely as【M6】______ possible？ If you did all that, well, youd have TED. Its faculty: A roster of speakers that run from Bill Clinton to【M7】______ J.J. Abrams, from Desmond Tutu to Isabel Allende—anyone whos driving change across the globe. Their topics range from biophysics to graphic design, covering all what Roman【M8】______ playwright Terentius might have had on mind when he said,【M9】______ "Nothing human is alien to me." The economic model？ With attendance fees, advertising, and corporate sponsorships, TED ran an operating surplus of more than $2 million last year, which was reinvested into expanding its reach. Thats because like【M10】______ fearful old-school colleges, TED is finding that the more open it is, the more it becomes the global education brand of the 21st century.
