How YouTube Changes the Way We Think
http://wired.com/techbiz/people/magazine/17-01/st_thompson
DIY tools for shooting, editing, and broadcasting video aren't just
changing who uses the medium. They're changing how we use it. We're
developing a new language of videoa€"forms that let us say different
things and maybe even think in different ways.

Becoming Screen Literate
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/23/magazine/23wwln-future-t.html
Everywhere we look, we see screens. The other day I watched clips from
a movie as I pumped gas into my car. The other night I saw a movie on
the backseat of a plane. We will watch anywhere. Screens playing video
pop up in the most unexpected places like A.T.M. machines and
supermarket checkout lines and tiny phones; some movie fans watch
entire films in between calls. These ever-present screens have created
an audience for very short moving pictures, as brief as three minutes,
while cheap digital creation tools have empowered a new generation of
filmmakers, who are rapidly filling up those screens. We are headed
toward screen ubiquity.

Microsoft says we waste a week a year channel surfing
http://informitv.com/articles/2008/11/07/microsoftsayswe/
British viewers could be wasting up to a week every year choosing what
to watch on television. A survey commissioned by Microsoft of nearly
2,000 digital television viewers in the United Kingdom found that over
a quarter of them rely on flicking through channels to choose what to
watch, apparently spending up to 3.5 hours a week channel surfing.
However, the headline figures may be misleading.
