Saw this ad this morning on TV. Although it’s from Cisco, the message is pretty powerful. Quotes like:
A world
- “where people subscribe to people, not magazines”
- “where books rewrite themselves” (you’ll notice a shot of wikipedia)
- “where you can drag and drop people where you want them to go”
- “where libraries travel across the world”
…and my favourite:
- “where we’re more powerful together than we ever could be apart”

That is a powerful commercial. Thank you for sharing. I am planning on using this as a visual for my parent technology workshops this semester.
A wonderful piece of information! A wonderful visual! I will use this in my computer apps class as the ‘opening act’
Nice post, it was an excellent read.

I used this in my class today. We had discussed the Time Person of the Year article yesterday and a bunch of students commented on the class blog about why they were the person of the year. I enjoyed their answers, but it seemed like most of them missed the point of the Time article in their comments. I saved this commercial off of YouTube, converted it, and brought it in for them to watch. I thought that the visual might help more with the person of the year thinking.
You might want to also link to this commercial. I used it first and the students liked it because it has students in it.
