Gates is not only a big Feynman fan, he's also a big fan of video lectures. Here's a quote: "The thing I asked for Christmas last year, those Teach12.com DVDs, the sad fact is that in their science area I now have all of their lectures. These things are brilliant. If you weren’t here to hear me enthused about that, these are not-- they’re kind of pricy, but these are brilliant science lectures. If you want to learn about-- if you want to understand how semiconductors work, get the lecture called 'Physics in your Everyday Life' and watch it. He will explain to you, better than I’ve ever seen explained, because I’ve always tried to explain to people how semiconductors work. If you want to know about geology, just get the geology course. If you want to know biology, you want to know string theory, you want to know anything, they’ve gone and found the very best lecturers in the world and they’re fantastic. The problem is I’ve seen them all now. I’m going to go back and re-watch maybe about half of them, because they’re that fun and interesting. Some of them-- my daughter is 11, my son is 8 -- some of them, like I got all their high school ones. Some of those are good enough I’ll get to watch with my kids and go through and see if they’re ready for them. So, I might have to think of something new. I’ve told them they should go get more lectures. There are some areas that they don’t cover very well. They don’t cover chemistry as well as they should. There’s actually nothing that’s really good on chemistry out there."
