Meddy's Video

Inventing Meddy S posted an interesting youtube video on their blog. The short video began with a baby properly operating an iPad (although I believe it was being held upside down). A series of shots then showed the baby struggling to turn a magazine page because it did not operate in the same way technology did. This video relates to class because it shows how society is moving away from the late age of print and into a new generation of writers that will only appreciate technological writing. I chuckled when the video ended, and the filmmaker commented on the effect Steve Jobs will forever have on society. The baby expected the magazine to operate like the iPad, something she learned how to operate. Ironically, a few decades ago technology was critiqued for not being user friendly, and today children view print media in the same fashion. A new generation of reading and writing is beginning, as the youth of society will continue to prove.
