After having watched the favorite TED Talks of Valeh and Nicolas, which I found really interesting and impressive, I randomly looked at some talks on the website. However, I was willing to see other TED Talks that people found awesome and so I moved to Bill Gates' 13 favorite TED Talks.
The first one, made by Hans Rosling, really changed my mind about chart studies (like we had to do in Geography courses in High School). This man did a great job with charts and animations, I highly recommend this video :

I like this one too, dealing with history, and complexity (2nd law of thermodynamics)

You might enjoy looking at the gapminder website which Rosling started and which, I believe, now belongs to Google.
