First off, I'd like to say thanks to Mr. Brooks (no, not Kevin Costner) for exposing me to Ted. It is EASILY one of the most fascinating sites I've ever been to. Dare I say that I could probably spend all day just watching Ted videos, and actually feel like I've done something constructive, personal fitness notwithstanding.
As far as my socially responsible blog goes, watch this:
The first part is what I find especially fascinating. The Sea Dragon presentation is mind-blowing. Imagine how many books can be stored! Encyclopedias, research studies, government documents, newspapers, etc. The possibilities are limitless, and that excites me.
The Photosynth presentation, while not as academically exciting in this blogger's opinion, is just downright cool. The compilation of thousands of photos on one location to reproduce a 3-d model is something that you'd see in the movies and say "no WAY that's real".
