This clip demonstrates the idea of remediation of text from print to digital media in an extremely obvious way. For a toddler, the magazine is just what the video suggests - an iPad that does not work. An entire generation of people are being born that will never fully appreciate print text, much less even ever take advantage of the form. Also interesting is the way in which the video's creator moved the piece forward. With each new example of the child with either a "dysfunctional" magazine or a technologically advanced iPad, he places text on the screen describe what is to come. This gave more weight to his argument by letting it lie more heavily on his thoughts, giving the audience a glimpse into his perspective.
This analysis was good in that it said what it saw and then explained how this happened in the clip. Putting the clip before the paragraph would be better but it really doesn't matter all that much.
