Former IBM chairman Thomas Watson, Jr. knew how important it was to work with people who question the way things are and challenge the status quo. In fact, he even had a name for them. "Wild Ducks" is a film about four IBM clients whose questioning minds and unconventional ideas are transforming our world. See and hear their inspirational stories.

Clay Shirky looks at Cognitive Surplus; the shared, online work we do with our spare brain cycles. While we're busy editing Wikipedia, posting to Ushahidi (and yes, making LOLcats), we're building a better, more cooperative world. Shirky talks about how we're at "the end of coach potato era"; there are "over a trillion hours of free time a year" and we can use it make the world a better place.
