I know I've seen this before, several times. I even know I used SearchYC to find it in the past. So I turned to the new search box to find it, and I'm having no luck at all.

Can anyone suggest search terms that locate the previous submissions of this video?

Thanks.

Colin,

I just did a search for the Professors name, Albert Bartlett, and found the following thread:

No, I did not check if this was posted before. However, these videos do such a fantastic job of explaining exponential growth and how such growth applies to our every-day lives I felt that I had to share them, even if they have been posted before.

I wish I saw this lecture while I was in school, the connection to real-life would have made the theory so much easier to grasp. Heck, I wish all of my teachers were like Dr. Bartlett, but that's not possible.

I'm really glad to have found this lecture and I wanted to share it with others who may not have been aware of it.
