I would like to talk about the delivery or the style of this video rather than commenting on the topic.
All “The Story of Stuff” videos have a consistent design, simple and clear. It is reasonable to believe that the group behind “The Story of Stuff” is still in the introduction stage. The ideas, messages and the life styles they are promoting is new to most people.
Like the video Tamar showed in class, Google Docs in plain English, The Story of Electronics, actually the serious of the story of stuff, is very effective in communicating to its target audience. The theory or concept behind is relatively complex, by using funny animations, simple design, and plain language, the message can be easily absorbed by audience.
