Dave Eggers TED Talk

I feel that Eggers is putting things together. This is what Daniel Pink is encouraging, being able to put things together that most other people wouldn't. He put students who need help in their education together with writers who could spend extra time with the students. These helped to create a better neighborhood while helping the students learn and the writers would sometimes get ideas from the students as well. In the end as well, the store started to make a lot of money. People were in the store which inheretly created more interest in the items. He used the phrase "cross polination." All of the groups benefited. I feel that he is taking for granted that people would want to use their time to help students though. Although it is a great ideal to "ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country," I feel that there is still a population that doesn't want to serve others. They look more for the benefits for themselves. I think this would be one of the problems with his idea. I love how the stores are fun. School can often be boring so they add an eliment of fun. This would help me focus and work hard without as much bordom. I could also tell that he loved what he did. He was nervous but overcame that and even made fun of himself. He was excited about what was happening. This gave the audience a glimpse of what was happening and some excitement about it.
