"There is no shelf."
I can’t think of a better way to sum up this amazing video. It was created by the same group that brought us the jaw-dropping video, Web 2.0 … The Machine is Us/ing Us.

What an inspiring video! It just makes you wonder what’s 10-20 years down the road.
This is a great way to have folks realize how far technology has come and how “business as usual” just isn’t possible any longer.
