Great again…but runns much too fast for high school or lower (esp// 2nd language learners).
Maybe a slower run version would be good, too?

I thought the pacing was a little too fast in some areas, too. However, my initial thoughts were: 1) it sucks getting old and 2) that it was done intentionally to reinforce the point that if you don’t put forth the effort, the world will pass you by. But, between the information and the presentation, all I can say is, “Wow”. Well, that, and thanks.

Though others have said the pacing was a bit fast, and I had trouble keeping up at times myself, I think that the speed of the presentation actually serves as an illustration of the now now now culture upon which this presentation ws intended to comment. Its now, its immediate, or its immaterial – or so the younger generations are being progammed to believe. My only question or disbelief lies in the data quoted that a teen sent over 217,000 texts in a month. That breaks down to over 7,000 texts a day. Even sending texts to multiple recipients, I can’t imagine how a teen would have so large an address book (unless he downloaded the entire local phonebook?)

While I share your initial skepticism regarding the texting frequency, it is very often that I see teens in a restaurant or store sliding their phones open ever 3-5 seconds to read/reply to a text. I am both amazed and appalled at this frequency– the time devoted to short messages is impressive (and not something I could do), but, in my mind, they need a serious lesson on condensing or managing information into a longer message with all the details. Perhaps this is because I do not have an unlimited text plan!

I liked it a lot, but also found that it moved too fast, I often couldn’t finish reading before the next screen appeared.
