Copy, Paste, Link, Tag: You're It!

Feeling left in the dust by internet development? Here's the CliffsNotes course. (Note the heroic inspirational background music, not that you could miss it. Don't you feel more optimistic about the future already?) Sometimes I wonder if we've put too many eggs in the technology basket for no good reason other than that we're attracted to the shiny new toy. But then I see how people half my age are using the platforms, and I realize that I'm the one overly fascinated with the delivery method. I suspect that the new phone ringing (record player playing, radio crackling, car transporting) was also once this much fun.

Exhibit A: as soon as I saw this I threw it up on my facebook page.

Thanks so much for sharing this! I've watched four or five times since you've posted it. There's something about watching someone else's screen that makes the whole things seem almost like ballet.
