Here is a video I made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RURjQe0BAFQ

The video is a slow, soft-spoken reading of random numbers, courtesy of Random.org's integer generator. I was pleased to receive the following comment in response, from fellow YouTube creator ChillWhispers: “This is very relaxing. I enjoy the random order of the numbers, that way I don't ‘expect’ it to end. Your voice is very soothing.”

That was pretty much the effect I was hoping to achieve.

Thank you again for clarifying Random.org's terms and conditions for me. I was thrilled to be able to make this video.

Thanks for being awesome,

Your project is wonderful; thank you for making it free and flexible for public use. I use it every day in my 7th grade classroom to assign warm-up problems to students in my class; this particular crop of kids is highly competitive and I was having trouble selecting from a group with all their hands up!

I read your FAQ and I wanted to contribute a little thought: to a computer, would it think it has free will? We store and process information in the same way; so we are running a big program which makes decisions based upon lots and lots of current states and simultaneous inputs. I suspect it is impossible to know whether we have free will from within ourselves and will have to use lots of expensive computer modeling to answer the question, but I'm guessing the answer is no.
