About
- Try clicking on the various channels to see videos posted to that channel - if you're into music you can click the Music channel to get more music sifts - go on and explore! Use the "hotness" when you have opened the channel link to get videos that have gotten a lot of votes, or use "newness" to have a look at the new sifts.
  When browsing sifts you like, have a look at the Related Posts list to see other related videos, click the tags under the video title to see more sifts tagged with the same tags or have a look at other sifts from the same user in the More Posts By list. If the sifted video is in a play list, have a look at the play list to see other interesting videos the Sift users have linked together.
  Enter the Sift Lounge to chat with online sifters about anything and everything, or read interesting posts in the Sift Talk forum.
  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

TED Talks - Dean Kamen

submitted by my15minutes

1 decade 6 years 10 months ago

Dean Kamen previews the extraordinary prosthetic arm he's developing at the request of the Department of Defense, to help the 1,600 "kids" who've come back from Iraq without an arm (and the two dozen who've lost both arms).

interesting, how the names of those two playlists of mine, already long-ago chosen, become especially poignant for this clip.

given that it's only Kamen's work, that is allowing some of these guys to actually be able to salute, once again.
amazing, what he was able to do.

this is very impresive

*humanitarian

Adding video to channels (Humanitarian) - requested by jonny.

By all rights this should be much bigger news than anything Britney Spears has ever done or ever will, and yet I know it will likely get as much media attention as one of her bad hairs days would. Probably less.

*engineering know-how

Adding video to channels (Engineering) - requested by jonny.

*health and medicine and robots.

Adding video to channels (Health) - requested by notarobot.
