What do you learn
from TED talks?

Many of us have enjoyed watching TED talks, the online videos of scientists, artists, inventors and others talking about their work.

The Deep Web:
a “thing” you never knew existed.

The Button:
the fascinating
social experiment driving Reddit crazy

There's a part of the internet known as the Deep Web. It is called the Deep Web because of it's massive size, therefor it is literally "deep". According to the Guardian, you can only access 0.3% of the internet using search engines like Google. The Deep Web contains of pages which are not indexed by search engines.

The Deep Web is truly anonymous, and you can even only access it by being truly anonymous yourself.

Here we go.

The button began its life as an April Fools’ joke, but nearly two weeks later the community surrounding the Reddit social experiment is still going strong.

On Friday morning, the community reached a new milestone, as users started earning coveted yellow flair.

The previous sentence probably didn’t make much sense to you. To explain it, we have to start at the beginning.

I promise it’ll be interesting.
