Great input on why today's society shouldn't have to suffer like past generations have to suffer. Media literacy is pertinent for those to succeed in the future.

This is a quick and to the point resource that provides visual evidence of how value works in design. Watching the creation of a something like this really helps me understand the idea better because, as I have come to learn, I am a very visual learner. (9/19/13)
