A friend at work pointed me to this terrific essay on big numbers, and why they are not trivial.
It's a pretty good summary of introductory theoretical computer science, but it has even more value for those who generally eschew mathematics. If you think math is unimportant, have a glimpse at how much larger that universe is than yours, puny human! :-)
