So are we suppose to be happy about all these facts? How is this helping to improve people's lives? Poor people who starve and don't have cell phones? How about cell phones and radiation (cancer)? Any studies being done???
The speed and presentation of information is compelling, especially if all of it has been vetted for accuracy...the pause button is there for the slow reader. Evelyn Wood might have a market even in these times! :P
@prabashituber: YES. It is WAY too fast for this sort of presentation, and the interchanges are too flashy. The entire purpose of this sort of video is that people should learn in spite of themselves -- this is force-feeding information. There's no way most audiences read those plates in the time allowed.
