TED Talk Tuesday #43: Using drones to save lives

Watching TED Talks is a popular pastime at CN&CO. We visit TED.com regularly to clear our heads, have a laugh or get inspired. TED Talks open our minds, spark new ways of thinking and can lead to some very interesting conversations. Each week we pick a favourite and publish it on a Tuesday, because we like how “TED Talk Tuesday” sounds. This week’s talk was selected by Rob Christian.

The potential for this technology and companies like Zipline to change the face of not only healthcare but other pressing issues facing the continent is enormous.
