Did you know? A presentation.

I typically don’t like to use a post for a single link or video, but this is well worth it:

YouTube video

Here is the blog written by the fellow who made the video. Here (PDF) are the sources he used to make the presentation.

And, I must give a big thanks to Jay at Jay’s Headspace for posting it on his blog to begin with. I would’ve probably never found it otherwise.

Wow. It’s a bit diffuse (is it about the future, about education, about humanity?) but certainly impressive.

Yeah, it does hop around a bit, but I still found it pretty cool (as did you) :)

“To whom were these questions addressed before Google?”

This is the reason I love the Internet. There are hundreds of things I wonder about and can find answers to very quickly. Were I wondering the same things in the 70s, I’d have to hope it’s something covered by a reference book I have access to, or trust half-remembered knowledge from friends and family. A world where I can watch a show, think “I wonder where I’ve seen that guy before?”, and NOT go to IMDB to check? No way!

That’s a bit depressing: Where will we all end up, if everything in this world is going to be even faster and bigger, than it is now?

I don’t think I blinked once during the entire presentation. I’m glad you added the source more properly than I did. :) I was being quite a lazy blogger that day.
