Chris Anderson, TED’s curator, encouraged the team to think about the challenge thusly: « How do we create a living archive for ideas worthy of the future? Something that can stand the test of time? » To that end, the team improved the transcripts to make them more discoverable to search engines and, as a result, more useful for researchers, and built the video player with an adaptive bit rate feature, so you’ll automatically see a talk in high-def if you have a fast enough connection ».
