Blog This: Link from Meddy

http://meddysarhan.blogspot.com/2011/10/ps-i-stumbled-upon-this-video-and.html?showComment=1319712039776#c2182615954963705701


Why does Meddy suggest this is relevant? What is one rhetorical strategy that is used by the video's creators?


This is relevant because in our class the concept of advancement in technology has been examined and discussed. Youth are being raised in a tech savvy society- differing from past generations. This video is a perfect, cute, example of this concept of "out with the old and in with the new", even if the child is not properly using the iPad. The clever use of the baby, appeals to the emotions of the viewer. Further, the text guides the viewer through the video.

  1. Is there anything manufactured about the presentation?



    Is the baby thinking those thoughts?

  2. i agree with your points of the video its showing how our youth are being raised in this tech driven world, the only thing i would mention is the relation between nicholas carrs assumptions that these advances are making us stupid, although he can argue that, the child is only a year old and is just getting use to the new technologies we have
