And now, a plug for the makers of this video:
So tell me, did you know? What does it all mean?
As we look back historically, we see the Renaissance, the Victorian Age, the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution and the Gold Rush.
What might be said by historians 100 and more years from now when looking at artifacts and sources we now produce? What might they call this age? Granted, the artifacts with which they are able to work might be holographics instead of wear-worn diaries and letters found in attics. What is the result of memorializing ourselves, our time, so completely? Might this be called the Pre-Paperless Age?

This video is a ratcheting up of 'future shock' that hit some of us in the 1960s, already.
It's presented, though, in a relatively non-threatening way, one that shows how folks growing up are saturated in electronic culture, but may not have ethical and analytic grids to reflect on that immersion.
Bravo to Nancy and others who offer ways to think about electromash.

This video shows how knowledge has definately increased in these last days, like the Bible says.
