Honestly, I was not very impressed with Laura Trice's TED talk. I saw the title of her talk and got pretty excited. It looked like it was going to be about why saying thank you made people feel better, but instead, it just said that it did make people feel better. I did not really get any take-aways from this video because nothing she talked about was a new idea or fact to me. I know saying thank you or good job to people is a good thing, because I like it when people do that to me.
Another reason why I was not impressed with Laura's TED talk was because she did not have a slide- show. All she did was get up on stage and talk about her idea. I really like it when people put visuals up on the screens to help further support their great thoughts. I think visuals are very important and was kind of surprised that she did not incorperate any into her talk.
Finally, I thought her talk was too short. Her talk only lasted for about 6 minutes whereas most other TED talks are 10 or more minutes long. I think that she had a great basic idea, but if she would have spent more time up on stage, and gone into further detail, her talk could have been great.
In conclusion, Laura Trice had an interesting basic thought for her TED talk, but adding some more facts, time, and visuals to her presentation would have made a world of difference.
