Great YouTube on what big data is, how it is being used now, and what it will become. Also shows how 1 person can generate a huge amount of big data, and how it will increase exponententially over the next 10 years.

Mike Wesch does a handstand for his students to show he is learning how to do them, then shows his young son George learning to climb down a stair step. Fun, yet gets the point across that failure is a big part of learning, as is practice.

This video by Seth Dickens poses two questions 1) What do I know that could be shared? and 2) What do I want to learn?
