I saw this video earlier today. I watched it again. And again. I guess it may turn out that the whole thing was fabricated, that what I watched was an illusion. We live in times where such things are possible.

If you ask me, the video is real. But I’m no expert when it comes to declaring authenticity of such things.

But you know something? I don’t care whether the video was impromptu, staged or otherwise contrived technically. What matters is the message.

The iPhone/iPad generation will have such different views about everything around them as they grow up. Not just about the way they engage with information, the way they make use of information.

Old fogies like me are just getting used to using terms like visitor and resident rather than native and immigrant; I’m lucky, I have three children who keep me in touch with the millennials.

I guess I have to rely on my grandchildren to teach me all about the iPad Generation. And, looking at this video, I am so looking forward to it.

JP Rangaswami

I’m JP Rangaswami. 53 years old, married (my wife’s called Shane), three children (Orla, 25, Isaac, 19 and Hope, 13 ). I was born in Calcutta and lived there for nearly half my life before emigrating to the UK in 1980. Much of that time was spent at St Xavier’s Collegiate School andCollege; I was there from 1966 to 1979. Originally an economist and financial journalist, I’ve been an accidental technologist for over a quarter of a century. I’ve spent most of my adult life working in that strange space where finance meets technology, for a number of very large firms. Since October 2010 I work for salesforce.com as Chief Scientist. (Normally, when asked to put a white coat on, I tend to look for the long sleeves and restraint straps…).
