Blender is a really fun program to use, Tons of tutorials and information on youtube etc... I think more education could use 3d programs like this to help with algorithm visualization.

I made this video about worker in tech with blender.

The worker is slaving away at his terminal, he is writing code that creates the 'feed' of apps/entertainment/media/etc.. for the insatiable appetite of society (Represented by the somewhat-similar-to-a-hungry-hippo character in the depths). Who are these other two glowing beings? What do they represent? My friends have tried to guess some explanations, but I'll let each audience member decide for themselves.
