I recently watched a few episodes of Nova (www.pbs.org) and saw how scientists that are changing the world were deeply influenced by the film and TV that they watched. One scientist saw the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and it drove him to discover the chemical and portion of the brain that can erase memories.
Or I was doing some shopping online and wanted to learn more about a particular monopod. I went to youtube.com to find a video demonstration or review. The only one I could find was in another language. I think it was Italian. But I watched it anyway and I was able to get the info I needed because the reviewer demonstrated the use of the monopod.
Plus, I heard that video on your website helps get more qualified visitors to your website. Which could, of course, lead to more sales. Here are a couple of articles on that:

P.S. Here is that video on the monopod I am thinking about getting. BTW, if you’re asking, “what’s a monopod?” It’s sort of like a tripod but with only one leg. It helps stabilize a camera.
