If my girlfriend wants me to buy a loaf of bread on the way home from work, she can either text/email with a message "please buy bread" or she could send me a video of herself doing an interpretative dance of sewing seeds of wheat, reaping the seeds when they grow, grinding them up (or something), adding water and probably other stuff like yeast (how does one dance that?), kneading it into a lump of something, firing up an oven, putting the lump into the oven, taking it out and cutting it into slices,and then 'dance' it being delivered to the store I drive past on my way home so I know to drop in and buy it.
I seriously don't now how to finish this post. I'm just... stunned.
