I keep watching it over and over. Hypnotizing. And fascinating.
i love the scare-mongering "OMG IRAN?!!?!?!?!?!?" at the end.
Very cool. Anyone ever see the charles and ray eames movie about the map animation in social studies class in high school, back in the day ?
I enjoyed that. What a useful way to demonstrate history in a new median.
