Is this relevant?

See this blog post first.

Why does Meddy suggest this is relevant?  What is one rhetorical strategy used by the video's creators?


This is totally relevant to all that we've been discussing, reading, and writing about in the last unit- the remediation of text. It's an example of how text is being remediated, and how the writing space is being refashioned...this is an example in real time, in real life, of this change happening NOW. Now. And now.

A rhetorical strategy used is simply in the narration between the video shots of the baby. The audience does not know whether the baby is actually frustrated by the immobility of the text (magazines), but is given that impression by the creator(s) of the video through narrating the baby's thoughts.
