Episode 1 of James Burke's most well-known series "Connections" which explores the surprising and unexpected ways that our modern technological world came into existence. Each episode investigates the background of usually one particular modern invention and how it came into being. These explorations are an attempt to locate the "connections" between various historical figures who seemingly had nothing to do with each other in their own times, however once connected, these same figures combined to produce some of the most profound impacts on our modern day world; in a "1+1=3" type of way.
It is this type of investigation that is the main idea behind the Knowledge Web project; whereby sophisticated software is used to attempt to discover these subtle connections automatically. See http://k-web.org.

I suggest TED Talks Series of Videos. They have some of the most promising and optimistic speakers from around the world. All videos are Creative Commons Licensed and are downloadable. Plus register and you can comment. It is like a YouTube but emphasis on the Technical that effects the Global.
Although it would be interesting to be able to prove it somehow... I mean from a non-New Yorker's POV... an image say, from the same spot before & after the atrocity committed there.
I'll take you up on that one... Here goes... There is a Movie named Godspell. you can find it on youtube where they film a part of the musical on top of the world trade center. Whats even more interesting is the words that they sing up there. BTW you are replying as JamesBurkeWeb and not JamesBMotion however you admit "Yes, of course". Blew your own cover mate. :->>
I am positively sure that he IS standing on the top of ONE of the world trade center towers!!! Of course there were two towers and he could not stand on both of them at the same time. He starts out the series in the darkness at the base where there is that monument with the globe. He takes a few steps away and comes at the front where the architecture is recognizable (mall collection of arches form the wall). Then he enters the elevator and presses the number of the floor he wants
