Darwin:
WOW! Thanks Edvard, what a fantastic find.
Darwin:
I've watched it several more times and am still blown away. Marshall McLuhan would have loved this!
f0dder:
I finally got around to watching it. Decent enough, but I don't see the wow factor, and I think the ending is a bit overdramatic (even if basically right). And it does show, cut to the bone, important advances in web technology during time :)
tinjaw:
*tinjaw Googles Marshall McLuhan.
Darwin:
tinjaw, the Marshall McLuhan connection may be a stretch... But I immediately thought of his famous remark that "the medium is the message". f0dder, I can only say that the WOW factor for me came in because I teach intro cultural anthropology at a college and was blown away by what I perceived to be a highly effective way of contextualizing the information for students. Brilliant.
