Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated!

I was away on 9 Aug so I missed the National Day Parade. I do not watch free-to-air or cable TV, so I missed the repeated telecasts of this year’s ND song.
I regret missing the parade. I have no regrets missing the song.
I only know how bad it is from the YouTube video, the story that mrbrown retold tongue firmly in cheek from screen captures of the video, and from a satirical analysis by Alfian Sa’at.
Speaking of YouTube, that is how I consumed practically all Olympics 2012 news.
In fact, the TV is my living room is connected to a Wii, a Playon HD, and an Apple TV. All three deliver on-demand video in some form or other.
When I can watch what I want and when I want it, I feel little need to return to a one-size-fits-all, if-you-miss-it-is-too-bad system.
I am not the only one who can do this and benefit from it. Anyone with reasonable access to the Internet can do this for their news, entertainment, and education.
Those in the publishing and entertainment world tried to control it, realized that they could not, and reluctantly gave in.
The education world is behind the times. When it gets to the same stage, the same thing will happen.

I enjoy your brand of humor – gentle, and thank you for the link to NDP song. I continue to enjoy the older songs – to me they are evergreen. Have a splendid day Dr. Ashley

The humour is all mrbrown’s and Alfian’s. I just pointed a funny bone in a funny finger to those resources.
If you think about it, there is a lot of critical thinking in their creative thoughts!
