A Vision of Students Today

a short video summarizing some of the most important characteristics of students today - how they learn, what they need to learn, their goals, hopes, dreams, what their lives will be like, and what kinds of changes they will experience in their lifetime. Created by Michael Wesch in collaboration with 200 students at Kansas State University.

Information R/evolution

This video explores the changes in the way we find, store, create, critique, and share information. This video was created as a conversation starter, and works especially well when brainstorming with people about the near future and the skills needed in order to harness, evaluate, and create information effectively.

Optical Camouflage (Invisible Cloak)

One of the labs in the University of Tokyo uploaded some interesting videos several years ago.
This technology involves neither chroma-keying nor photoshopping but is "quasi-invisibility" using a specific fabric and projector.
