Ipad v. Magazines
In this video a baby is looking at an Ipad and is able to control and therefore in the child's mind the Ipad "works." When she looks at the magazines, and points to things and turns pages and nothing happens. she declares that the magazines do not work. This is relevant to a composition class because it shows how writing spaces are changing and have more or less importance depending on the generation you were raised in. For this baby and many others, magazines will be viewed as pointless and unnecessary when devices like Ipads are available. The creator of the video uses text on the screen, a newer writing space (compared to magazines), for the viewer to even better understand the purpose of this video.
