Meddy suggests that this video is relevant because it is showing how newer generations have digital technology ready for them to pick up right away which makes print text almost pointless to them. They can learn to use digital technology easier and earlier on in life than print text such as the magazines that the girl was trying to play with. Although the girl didn't know how to use an ipad yet, she was mildly entertained by the touch screen and how she could already make things appear and disappear. In the magazine she would try to use her finger but the pages would remain the same and she showed know reaction or enjoyment. The maker of this video was saying that the girl would grow up using digital technology and have no use for the print text.
One rhetorical strategy used by the video's creator was to use print across the screen to explain everything rather than use audio throughout the video. By doing this, he showed that it was just as effective as reading from print text or maybe even more effective because we didn't have to flip through pages but the new lines of thought would just appear every so often.
