Learning a New Skill.

I’ve noticed that Google has a neat little trick up its sleeve to ensure that YouTube viewers toe the party line.

Just about every video now has one or more adverts to sit through before the entertainment begins, and as soon as you place the pointer over the ‘sound off’ button so you don’t get your ears, eyes and mind polluted by the insult, the whole window shakes.  Time and brain power being what it is, you soon learn to track the shaking so you hit the mark with increasing regularity and feel very proud of yourself.

Shouldn’t this technique be included in the primary schools curriculum? I mean, we do have to keep up with the arch tramliner’s neat little tricks, don’t we?
