a document from the old world
proof of some of the changes to our world.  a video store?  a book that is a catalog?  seriously, i shared this training video with a few younger friends & i asked them to be alert to the moment when the trainee goes to a catalog to look up the film Casino Royale [1967].  even i expected her to turn to a computer rather than a book!  one friend told me that the whole video is an artifact of the old world.  aye, t'is.  we've changed by a lot.  but. . .what have we changed into!?  i suspect that my grandchildren, nick's kids, will look upon this training video, & the culture of vhs/dvd rentals, as we do looking at film of turn of the 20th century horse-drawn buggy delivery-men for ice & milk.
