Dude it's got subtitles. You could've just muted it.
Anyhoo, a few things. Firstly - ain't nobody taking my books away. You can invent all the plastic paper you like, nothing will ever change the beautiful feeling of printed word on the printed page.
Secondly there is a slight arrogance by us netgeeks getting carried away with this stuff just yet. While I look forward to the day I can do pretty much everything on my laptop (actually I think that day may already be here) we mustn't forget that there are still large numbers of people who cannot afford a computer. They aren't as cheap as radios, tvs, or newspapers. We can't abolish old media while new media is still out of the price range of many families. And especially since the utopian world of free wifi everywhere isn't here yet.
And finally - that triangle symbol at the end with the three lines coming out of each side. What does it mean?
After all this is what debt and savings really are.
I reckon Artificial Realities will be mandated by the state to make sure people don't realise how living standards have been falling since government started metastasising.

God! What an irritating accent that fellow had! I couldn't watch it all the way through.
If you had watched it to the end you would be aware that it was the voice of an avatar, not a real person.
I couldn't stand it! I just couldn't stand it! I only got 1/3 way through before viciously clicking off.
I love the Blair countdown counter to the right!

Surely that's obvious.. it's the Illuminati who will take over the world.
Who slaughters my pigs and converts them to sausages, hams bacon and all that other good stuff while we are doing this? Tosh.
It will have to compete with actual reality - which does have a track record of imposing itself on people (real and otherwise).
However, in terms of pork and pork-related products I am already a prosumer.
what a load of twottle.
Every producer is already a consumer.
Nearly every consumer will be or was a producer.
