(rising piano cresendo) as if it wasn't those generations who came up with the technology this video is so excited about! Are you ENGAGING your audience? Why isn't your video on youtube?

and the presumption that the teaching they are criticising in this video actually worked for someone at some point…

as if baby boomers and gen Xers didn’t have anything to contribute in their lives, didn’t re-mix and share content… (rising piano cresendo)

as if it wasn’t those generations who came up with the technology this video is so excited about!

Are you ENGAGING your audience? Why isn’t your video on youtube?
