NOVA video on emergence

NOVA is a Science TV show on PBS in the USA. 
This is a nice 12 minute segment on emergence, first shown in 2007. It focuses mostly on computing, origin of life, and has brief allusions to flocking.

Readers in the USA can watch a higher quality of the video on the NOVA site.
