TED: How to tie your shoes

 Before I watched this video I thought this man was going to attack the way I tied my shoes and I was going to hiss and fuss about how he was dumb.  Turns out that there are two ways to tie the knot that we use on our shoes.  The first and wrong/weak way will end with the knot aligning its vertically while the second and right/strong way ends with the knot aligning its self horizontally.


Terry Moore the director of the Radius Foundation, found out he'd been tying his shoes the wrong way his whole life. In the spirit of TED, he takes the stage to share a better way. (Historical note: This was the very first 3-minute audience talk given from the TED stage, in 2005.)
