This video is kind of quaint now (it dates from 1992), but I was delighted to discover that Tim Hunkin's Secret Life of Machines TV series is now [completely available on Google Video](http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=%22the+secret+life+of+machines%22). It's worth remembering that in another fifteen years, everything we're doing now is going to seem equally archaic - that said, the series is still a great educational resource and entertainment for people like me who are interested in how things work.

Don't miss [The Rudiments of Wisdom](http://www.rudimentsofwisdom.com/) \- a book I had as a child that has now been carefully scanned and turned into an online encyclopaedia in cartoon form. Great stuff.
