The web really is a wonderfull thing. I am constantly amazed where I end up and what I find. Recently I came across a web site titled TED. TED is an annual conference that is held in Montery, CA that attracts some of the worlds best minds to present on a wide range of topics.
I am not a huge TV fan and have found the TED site somewhat addictive as a TV replacement. I have lost many an hour on this site watching some great presentations. They probably have the best video streaming technology that I have seen. It is indexed and allows you to fast-forward the streaming – very nice.
I have provided a link below to a truely great presentation on poverty and the development of nations.
