Friday June 11, 2004 Bravo, MIT!
I stumbled across a wonderful website at MIT the other day called MIT World, a free and open site that provides on-demand video of significant public events at MIT.
There are currently 188 videos on the site with more coming and there is an RSS feed available for notifications of new content.
There's quite an eclectic mix of content available. Subject areas include Technology, Engineering, Architecture, Arts, Science, Economics, Exploration/Travel, History, etc. Do check it out -- it is very cool!
One video that I can recommend since I saw the talk in person at a recent MIT Industrial Liaison Program event was Tom Leighton's talk, The Akamai Story: From Theory to Practice, which is an engaging description of the birth and trajectory of Akamai, a company involved in the optimized and scalable delivery of web content.
A few other videos that caught my eye:
- ME++ The Cyborg Self and the Networked City - William J. Mitchell
- A New Kind of Science - Stephen Wolfram
- The Networked World: Are We Ready For It? - Louis V. Gerstner
- Flight: The Next 100 Years - Joseph H. Corn, Jane F. Garvey
- Civil War High Tech: Excavating the Hunley and Monitor - Maria Jacobsen, David A. Mindell
- Gaining Ground: A History of Landmaking in Boston
