How many more ideas could be expressed in a brand new way if we viewed other mediums with the same weight as a well written paper? This video I found on language usage reminded me of the video made by that anthropology professor. While I don't think that I would consider this particular video to be scholarly, there was clearly a lot of thought and effort put into it.
As the internet continues to change and shape the world we live in, and more scholarly work is available in new formats, then I think that more of the general public will take an interest. For the most part, I hate reading scholarly journals, because I find the articles boring. Visual presentations hold the attention of many people for longer periods of time than written words. I sincerely hope that the academic world continues to become more accepting and appreciative of the power of stimulating, visual presentations.
