Lest we forget that TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, and Design, Hillel Cooperman made his six minute TED talk about, what else, Legos. The ever versatile kids’ building toy has lead to robotics and programming competitions around the world, and, as Cooperman relates, the culture of adult Lego enthusiasts is growing day by day.

As of 2007, if you divided all the Lego bricks ever made among the world population of 6,000,000,000, everyone in the world would have sixty-two Lego pieces. There’s a lot you can do with sixty-two Lego pieces!
