I'm having one of those "I'm glad I live today" moments

First, check out this video made by a 12-year old.

When I was twelve, I was writing unplayable text adventures in BASIC on my Tandy 1000, and doing stuff like this was, essentially, impossible, much less commodity software. Yay future!


Then, go read this article on Why TV Lost. It's a pretty fascinating analysis as to why that TV meets computers convergence that everyone was talking about in 1990 (when I was... twelve) didn't happen, and facebook happened instead.
