This video is not irrelevant. From someone who has been online, and using the internet before it was capable of multimedia, this is fascinating, and judging from its two sequels with a total of over 2 million views, I would say it’s very relevant.

I think it’s good, as long as we balance out our lifestyles to not be caught up in the technology 100% of the time. If we can overcome this hurdle, our world population has the potential to become a more interrelated, connected, sympathetic and economical, ecologically-forcused group of human beings. Sharing information rarely results in war.
