This parody came from a commercial Microsoft made predicting the future of mobile media. I found the parody more appropriate than the original because the narration in this version is not only humorous but also insightful and a bit frightening.

Soon we will have mobile internet access from just about wherever you could imagine so parents can check up on their children's online activity even when their flying thousands of feet in the air.

They say that they their goal is to "extend a child's imagination through interactivity and to lead more and more kids to play and to read, regardless of the medium..." They are planning to have 26 applications by the end of the year and 75 under contract. If they succeed, they will become the largest resource for children's mobile media. I personally believe that this is interesting because they are taking children's book to a new level. Since everything else is becoming digital these days, why not children's books. From what I know, no one else has attempted to do this. If they succeed, Ruckus Media group could have the market cornered for the next few years. Their first
