Google overload: a cartoon

I just came across this cartoon on nytimes.com. (I actually found pictures of the olympics craziest fans, then watched an informational animation of the Westminster dog show, before being linked to this…oh the internet.) It’s a short spoof about all the new google products, and the potential for overload. It just shows HOW many options we have on our electronics that probably really don’t need to be there. As the “sales voice” describes all the features, he stumbles and gets lost talking about them, and trails off, implicating that we also may not even know what half the buttons do in different media these days….Are we trying too hard to be too connected all the time?

I don’t know how to put the video in here unless its from youtube…and I couldn’t find it there…so go to this link. OR get connected through my twitter status…twitter tweet? Lingo.I just remembered twitter is actually where it all started. I followed Times’ tweet to the pictures of crazy olympic fans…

enjoy!
