Helping to Change the World Word by Word
Very clever reminder to cherish what’s been at our disposal all along.
Wait, this doesn’t make any sense. He said “without having to recharge”. That’s crazy! Everything has to be recharged, computers, phones, tablets, shavers, flashlights, I have a set of 25 recharging cords, each labeled. and each different. Even my tools need to be charged. So how can this “book” thing not need recharging? I think its a scam. And where are these “bookstores”? I have never seen one of those. Oops, hold on, I just got a “low battery” noti
Clever presentation. Thanks for sharing our books.
This was wonderful satire–until we get to the halfway point and the “Sermon” begins. As clever as this piece is, it would be much more effective without the joke being explained to us. Certainly a lesson for me any of us who write humor or satire.
Pure wisdom!!!
Thank you!!!
Great video, thanks Steve! I got a good chuckle at the parody using the Amazon logo, and enjoyed being part of the “in” crowd–for once–as the video went on. Also this has a calming effect on me, after receiving Amazon’s announcement that I will no longer be allowed to add more books to my particular version of Kindle starting May 20th of this year. (Gee, I thought I owned my Kindle and could download whatever and whenever I wanted…) In the end, reading an actual book and browsing libraries and thrift stores really is a much more pleasant experience than the e-alternative.
We also retain more of what we read in a real book. Our brain takes stock of how deep we are in the book which side you read from, how far down the page etc.
I recently saw that students in technology based schools have lower scores.
