Good tech news and general programming related topics.

Adam Curtis

Pretty much any Documentary he has made as well as his blog for interesting insights into geopolitics and general socio political behaviour.

Hans Rosling

An insightfull view of the world using statistics through the Gap Minder software. Often reporting on good things going on in the world with the odd amusing quip thrown in.

Doubling time and the rule of 70

Lecture on what exponential growth really means to you. The answer to this question is incredible important in a way you will not comprehend until you watch this video. It also teaches you what compound growth is, this is important for anyone who has a bank account.

Multivax and the The Last Question

A short story by Isaac Asimov on the future. Shows that entropy is kind of scary.

If you read all the tutorials and articles on this site you have pretty much undertaken a basic to mid level digital photography course without paying anything.
