    I have to say that I think this guy’s pretty crap and full of himself. Aside from using some fancy terms and jerking off on some “media” terms, his point was overly simplistic and for some reason even “gross”. I don’t know, he kind of grossed me out with his “I believe” attitude, and all that crap. He said somethign like “media thats targeted at you but doesn’t include you may not be worth sitting still for”… WHAAATever. Like 99.9% of interactive media doesn’t really “include” you. A piece of paper and a pencil includes you, talking to friends includes you, but common, how can he so blindly believe this crap. I don’t think that its “better” to spend your time playing Warcraft then sitting and watching tv, and especially “Giligan’s Island”. That show was awesome! So what is he unpacking, and why does he not think that this new “enlightened” interactive generation won’t have to do even more “unpacking” when they get to be his age?
    Crapola!!!
