There are many ways to put together resumes and there a dozen differing opinions on what the best practices are. Regardless of what the "experts" say there are some resumes that are simply awesome. An article showed how one graphic designer put together a resume of gifs and it's fantastic. It let on to show many other creative ways to show a resume, like the web programmer who built a webpage to look exactly like Amazon and he was the product.
There is a funny music video of a band (or singer) that sings about how badly they want to have their song used in an advertisement. They even show how the ad could be used throughout the video. I know, it's not that interesting but it was mildly funny to me at the time.
Another very interesting video I watched showed a vision of the future that was quite unexpected. To replenish fields and increase crop productivity companies of the future will use robotic bees to pollinate plants. The "drones" are tiny robots that can perform all the essential functions needed to pollinate and they can even defend themselves from predators. It's an interesting concept, though I'm not sure how realistic. I do however, think that the need for an alternate form of pollination may become more real. I recall reading several articles over the past several years about declining bee populations and the reality is, without bees, we don't eat.
Finally, there was a fantastic chart that showed science fiction technology predictions that came true and charted it on a timeline. Things like satellites, video calls and nuclear bombs were all predicted years before hand. H.G. Wells seemed to make the most appearances on the list of sci-fi come true. The prediction that got it right furthest in advance was solar sails, predicted 145 years before they became a reality.
