[Year 12 IT Apps] New interfaces: Minority report has arrived...

[David Eddie]

I certainly agree with Joseph ... a great way to fill in an hour or three ... lots of fascinating stuff on a wide range of topics.
http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/hans_rosling_shows_the_best_stats_you_ve_ever_seen.html
and
http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/ken_robinson_says_schools_kill_creativity.html

are a couple of favourites.
Also, if you haven't had a look at http://www.gapminder.org/ it provides a great interactive way of looking at statistics.

This was done at a TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) conference and the presenters at these conferences are absolutely amazing.  Check out their website when you have a spare hour or three ...

I worship the ground you walk on, because I like grounds.  You, I'm not so keen on.
