I think this video makes me sad.

Before I begin this post, you should all watch this video.

Okay, now while the baby was cute I guess, and the video might have been somewhat entertaining and funny, overall, I could not help but feel sad after watching it. The video depicts a little kid (maybe a year old) playing with an iPad, she is not doing to much on it, but she is engaged and having fun moving things around on the screen. Then she is given a magazine by her parents. She tries to move around the pictures, and after her finger fails to make the screen move, she pokes her own leg to make sure her finger still "works." Like it said, it's pretty funny but it's also profoundly sad. In my Media Theory class, we've brought up the idea that younger generations require constant entertainment, this is obvious, if this girl can't find a magazine interesting, I doubt she will be able to stomach a book without pictures when she's older. I fear that we're getting to a point where our education needs sound effects for us to care about it.
