7:48 minute video on current reserach in nanotechnology. Good graphics.

This engaging 15 minute video explains some of the challenges we will face with traditional jobs being replaced by computation, robotics and advanced AI.

A TedTalk by Peter Janse van Rensburg about the use of nanotechnology in our everyday lives and to make the world better. It is very short and rather interesting.

Very similar to the type of information found in Seven Revs, but focused on the growth in population.

Nice video to show as intro to Rev. #1 Thanks Scott.
