During her time on the stage at TED, Adora advocated a sort of "Kid's Rights" sentiment, arguing that adults should take young people more seriously and be more interested in learning from kids to foster a more reciprocal relationship between age groups. She says that because kids tend to be less constrained by social norms than adults as we get older, young people can often offer a unique and perhaps more creative, out-of-the-box approach to problems.

Besides listing the other TED speakers as highlights of the conference, Adora was also excited to get a free Nexus One courtesy of Google, and catch up on info about the iPad. Check out the video below, and you can follow Adora on Twitter at @adorasv; she'll donate a penny for each new follower to Save the Children's Haiti relief effort.
