In 2005, writer David Foster Wallace stood before the graduates of Kenyon College and delivered a memorable and impactful commencement address.
The speech, later turned into a book titled This Is Water, has become a classic to many, up there with Steve Jobs' 2005 Stanford address. Videogram company The Glossary has revived Wallace's words with a video visualizing the concepts described by the writer, who died in 2008.
The Glossary describes the speech as "the most simple and elegant explanation of the real value of education."
