That was interesting, and the music was nice.
Basically another rant about how digital communication is taking over... A lot of those statistics are inflated though, and traditional mediums are still more prevalent than you would think.
makes me almost think 2009 was a good year :O
Hmm.. Pretty insane.
A lot of these "interesting facts" things don't look that hard into verifying their statistics. And even if the numbers are accurate to their sources, that doesn't mean they're accurate to real life.
I'm not saying it's all bullshit, but always take statistics with a fare bit of skepticism.
This also seems to be hinting at the "technological singularity" a lot - which is a hot topic of debate. Remember that just because these trends have been consistent so far doesn't mean that they will continue indefinitely. Physical, social, or economic limitations could slow the growth of certain forms of communication in the future.
