You are wrong.
I bet Canada is forcing Amazon to translate all the English books to French and display English text on one half of screen and French translation on the other half
Of course, French books sold in Quebec won't have to be translated into English.
You forgot to tag the article as "old news".
We have seen all those videos long time ago.
Please, mod parent up! This is spot on.

I am from generation that saw the introduction of a handheld calculator.
I finally got one in 7-th grade in grammar school. Many, many of my clasmates didn't have calculator at the time. From time to time people from the next class would come to our class and each of them was trying to borrow a calculator, because they has physics test that day and they wanted to save time by not having to do calculations by hand. I hated, just HATED to put my precious programmable calculator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elektronika_MK-61 into the hands of some ignorant clumsy non-geek
At that time a good calculator was about as valuable in my country as a netbook is in USA today.
So, when one of them came to me to borrow my calculator it went like this:
"Hey, can you lend me a calculator"
"Of course, no problem at all"
"Let me just show you how it works. You plug in the power adaptor to the wall socket, switch the thing on like this
"now let's compute 3*5. OK?"
"you type 3"
"now you move 3 to the next register by pressing this symbol - you see this gorgeous thing uses Reverse Polish Logic"
"now you type in 5"
"and finally you press * symbol to tell the calculator to compute
"Hey

Developing / testing / implementing / commissioning HMI system in a steel factory.
HMI is also called visualisation. I displays what goes on in facility and provides means for Humans to give commands to control computers (PLCs) that run all the machinery.
I was sitting in a control room with operators that have been using computer I was trying to program for working with the facility. The control room was VERY busy as the facility was being "brought to life" gradually. The operators asked me often to let them use my [unfinished] system to operate some devices [fill some tanks with water for testing, check the temperature and flow of water, see if hardware regulators are functioning yet, move some piece of machinery, test a sequence of fail-safe procedures]. They have also been testing the stuff I have done so far and were suggesting changes that I was supposed to do so they could use those 24 or so large HMI screens to actually run the mill.
