watching TED

"Why not eat insects"
http://www.ted.com/talks/marcel_dicke_why_not_eat_insects.html


My analysis:

Impression: The talk was interesting. It was even astonishing.
The lecturer suggests we should eat insects instead of meat. He is supporting it with 4 main reasons and it sounds quite convincing. Since the idea is very unusual, I was astonished at first, but his lecture was based on good reasons and it was convincing even though my instinct still resist eating insects.

Strengths: *He is using the power point very effectively with lots of images, charts.
*He emphasizes important points by repeating it.
* He speaks with clear voice.
* He speaks in comfortable speed to listen.

Weakness: *He does not walk around much. For the most part, he is just standing still.
This makes him look less lively, and less passionate.
If he use more gestures and walk around and approach the audience,
audience will be more involved and impressed.

*Also, he should use more facial expressions because he looks sad, somehow.

*His way of speaking is not so humorous even though the topic is very humorous.
So, if he improves his way of speaking, it would be much better.
