that was an amazing video. my son is 22 and I had NO CLUE what was going on in his head. Now that I see what the generation is thinking, I can at least ask a question of him that doesn’t sound entirely stupid. I learned that the culture of students is totally unprepared for global climate problems, like floods and lack of electrical power and wilderness survival, and when the ocean rises and the world becomes hotter and hotter. Unless that’s what they discuss on FaceBook? and MySpace? not sure. I think there are survival problems that none of us have thought about. Maybe those are the jobs that they will have in the future. I sure think so myself. I am a Science Channel Junkie, and there are just too many global climate problems for the world as it exists today that are going to change the world as we know it now.

thanks for sharing the process of making the video - this is such a great example of a creative research process incorporating reflection and reflexivity and a wonderful ‘product’ at the end that speaks to so many constituencies - congratulations..

[...] The video’s author, professor Wesch from Kansas State University, explains here the step-by-step process of making the video. I thought students who are thinking about an alternative project for their senior theses would like to see how you can use a video to report research results. Sphere: Related Content [...]

Thank you so much for explaining step by step how you used research, cultural analysis, and collaboration to create this video. I’ll share this with my students, in case some of them would like to create an alternative senior thesis project. (Clemson University, South Carolina, Communication Studies)
I’m following your work and can’t wait to see the next video! If you need any help in terms of research or data collection, please let me know, I’d be honored to help you.

Thanks for that insight into the making of the video. The vid was great to watch and a worthwhile project for so many viewers.

But it sounds like all those involved in the video itself got more than they could ever imagine from it. That’s fantastic to hear. It’s wonderful when a project can be successful from every point of view.

And to provoke further positive discussion is an added bonus. Congratulations!
