The best presentations ever
I'm not sure if I agree with all the choices here, but KnowHr.com has a great listing of the top 10 best presentations ever. Certainly it includes the greats: Steve Jobs, Martin Luther King, Larry Lessig, Malcolm Gladwell, and others. But I'd add Hans Rosling at the 2006 TED Conference, who explains 50 years of trends in world health and development in 18 minutes of animations, and Sir Ken Robinson who uses wit and humor to articulate the need for creativity in education.
A notable point: all these people have something important to say that they care deeply about. I would argue that while a good presentation doesn't require that, a great one does. If you are bored with your subject matter, your audience will be too. Often we focus too much on how we present material, when we should be focusing on what we are saying as well.
