TED Talk of the Week: Are You Human?

“Have you ever put on a pair of pants and then much later realized that there was a loose sock smushed up against your thigh?…Have you ever seemed to lose your airplane ticket a thousand times as you walked from the check-in to the gate?…Have you ever tried to guess someone else’s password so many times that it locked their account?”

These are just a few of the questions humorist, web artist and president of Buzzfeed Motion Pictures, Ze Frank, poses to viewers in this TED Talk of the week as part of the ultimate test to find out – are you human? The questions start off as familiar, humorous instances almost everyone can relate to. I mean, who isn’t guilty of ending a text with a period as a sign of aggression? But gradually, Frank starts digging deeper into what really makes us human: “have you ever marveled at how someone you thought was so ordinary could suddenly become so beautiful?”

This four-minute clip is as funny as it is profound and definitely worth the watch!
