Vitens - Fresh Water

Although it is an ad on mineral water, the video clip presents human dependency on water in a very fresh and interesting manner.

Economist Screen Saver

Both teachers and students will love this screensaver! The screensaver not only presents all kinds of data from a random country upon 1min of inactivity - it also consists of 4 clocks showing the time of each city, as well as article headlines from the Economist which you can click if you wish to read.

I think it is a very neat and spiffy screensaver. Highly recommended.
