THE MEDIA IS THE MESSAGE

Hi All,



Ye Li is a PH.D. Candidate in Decision Science at the University of Chicago. When he was doing undergrad work at CalTech, he “played around with Flash” and created a catchy version of Billy Joel’s We Didn’t Start the Fire. It’s “not exactly professional”, Li writes on his home page, but it sure is entertaining. Think of it as 60 years of history compressed into 3 minutes.

Go to full screen and turn up the volume!

This is really well done.



Thanks to Mike for the reference
