I think I have finally found a generation gap that I think is real; old people like me would rather read than watch. A lot of my students would rather watch than read.

Hi! Welcome to my video. In this video we will talk about what is in the title. Let’s talk a bit more about what I’m going to talk about in this video. I’ve had a long day, so let me sit down and drink a cup of coffee while I talk about what I’m going to talk about in this video. Oh look! My cat. My cat’s name is ‘succinct’. Get it? ‘succinct’. It means getting straight to the point. Anyway, be sure to Like, Subscribe, and Ring the Bell ™. Getting subscriptions really helps the channel. I mean, more than it helps other channels. I mean, a subscription to this channel helps this channel more than a subscription to another channel. So, just to make sure, we’re going to cover… [transcriptionist begins to doze here] So anyway, without further ado, let’s get right to it… after a word from our sponsor… [insert 3 minute ad here] Hey, thanks for watching up to this point. Thanks to my long-time subscribers and my Patreons. You can support me over at Patreon at Patreon.com. To thank my Patreons, I will now read their names… [whispering in the background] Huh? Oh, yeah. The title of this video. The title of this video is “What happened in my life today”. In reality, not much.

This was basically the length and quality of a 60 Minutes segment. I’m glad someone is doing good video journalism in the US. It’s a format that has been dying over the past few decades, and now the remaining institutions are under attack in the states.

I can appreciate that. But a 60 Minutes segment is about a four minute read.
