OP in this case stands for original post. Not the original poster.

I cannot fathom what supposed logic you used to describe a video as a "high tech pictogram".
Regardless, you are performing highly perverted abuses on the English language. Anyway, my point seems to have flown right by you. And I have decided I don't particularly care to go for round three. |

For "how to" instructions give me a written set of instructions, possibly with some illustrations or photos to augment it rather than a video. I find videos take too long to get to the point.
As for the written word disappearing because of video (we can add movies to that I'm sure), well, movies have been around for over a century (talking ones about 80 years) and we still go to books for enjoyment and information. I find it hard to imagine Facebook, Twitter and other such forums as the final word on literacy. I must admit, I do find it rather discouraging that I have never seem my roommate's 20 something son with a book or ebook other than when he was in school and for his courses. I hope that isn't common for his generation. Mind you, he seldom pulls himself from his games to watch a movie either. |

Facebook has become a twenty-four seven infomercial, yet at the same time - a relentless political rant that never shuts up. I certainly don't need every topic that can be spoken of regurgitated from political angles, or used as an example of how my life could be better if I followed some diet plan or took some nauseating supplement . That is unavoidable on Facebook. Yes there are both bits of wisdom and buckets of stupidity, but it is the other aspects of Facebook that are revolting.

Facebook? Wasn't it the new MySpace, which was the new AOL, which was the new Compuserve, which...
Whereas in contrary to it a lot of mailing lists and IRC servers I used to use still are up and running. Independent protocols are in the long run always better. So who cares what some fb minion says about future... |
