V: Untill Automation

The automation I have been writing about exists in certain margins, but still isn't quite a reality. We still, mostly, manually check our emails (AOLs You've got mail rings as an anachronism), we still get around to checking many of our favorite websites when we have time. Vlogs come and go, and often aren't viewed until long after they've stopped being updated. Even with readers and mobile devices, many updates elude us.

I think it would behoove documentors to view some works of early innovators and the results garnered until this age on which we are embarking becomes the standard for documentary. At worst you're making documentary that acts like it is being viewed with the immediacy it deserves, and hopefully without the self-importance of CNN's "The Situation Room."
