    I love this video, so telling for all the SM naysayers.

    Concur. In fact, I’d be surprised to see it take 10 more years to overtake the wired internet. Excellent video, great insight.

    Only feedback is on the production side, the text disappears too quickly to read ~ and noteworthy that these aren’t 4+4=8 kind of comments…they’re made to be considered and thought through.

    Michael Marlatt, you sir, are a Rock Star!
