This is a slightly revised and cleaned up version of the video that was featured on YouTube in February 2007.
I considered releasing it as an "eternal beta" in true Web 2.0 style, but decided to let it stand as is and start working on future projects. Many of my future videos will address the last 30 seconds of this video (the "rethink ..." part).
Thank you all for the helpful comments on the earlier draft. It has been a great experience to connect with so many people interested in similar issues.
Once again, there are higher quality versions available for download:

I received many more positive comments than negative about the song choice (great work Deus!), but if you are one of those who does not like the song just download the video and change the audio track to your liking.
The video was created by me (Michael Wesch), working alone from my house in St. George, Kansas. I used CamStudio for the screen captures and Sony Vegas for the panning/cropping/zooming animations. Someday I might make a video tutorial for those who are interested.

So, does anyone have any thoughts on how to explain and "contextualize" this wonderful piece so the higher-up marketing and ad schmucks I shlep for will understand it? Imagine trying to explain something that you understand intuitively. What's the common idea that allows you to build to literacy of the concepts so eloquently laid out by the Prof?
Beautiful. The internet is a living testimony that there is hope for mankind. Just think of how unified it has made people to one degree or another.
We just need to learn how to use it... stop using it's power other ends.
The internet is also a sad testament that the quote from some movie I watched as a kid(cant remember) is true: "Our technology has outgrown our humanity."

Darn. Couldn't have said it better myself. I approve of your comment and also dub this video with 5 star worthiness.
