I like then because they have so much information packed into a short time frame. Most of them are under 20 minutes. Some of them I really do not enjoy, but those are usually more political. I like the more informative ones.So here is a TED talk of Stephen Hawking in parabolic flight. One of my favorites. I cried the first time I watched it.

(let's see if I can figure out how to embed real quick)

I enjoy them.
Yours is a very good one!

My favorite was the one by Jill Bolte Taylor: "My Stroke of Insight".
 
I am not familiar with Roku.

Jill Taylor was very well articulated in that one. I have watched it many times.

I love the one where they discuss Cassini-Huygens Saturn program. I cried watching that one as well.
 
I love Ted talks too !
 
They are more hit and miss these days. They always seem amazing, but there is some snake oil as well.

I'll second that. Usually I get bored quickly though and go listen to music.
