#12For all the negative comments about the presentation, which I might normally agree with, I liked this format this time. It took a while to load (thank you multi-threading).
I got through it because I treated it like an interactive video with subtitles, which is better than a video. I liked the sound - which, in my iPhone, was muted at the started as my phone was muted, so I didn't even realise there was audio. I liked that I could go forwards and backwards. I liked that I could just read. It fit well on my phone, I don’t know what it looks like on desktop.
Now, getting to the content itself, I found it to be very sad, especially at how the spirit to protest was killed.

#13I feel like the authors should have picked either narrated video or text, not both. I couldn't get through this, too painful.

I can guarantee that's because the article is light on insight and heavy on emotionality and will almost certainly seek to tug on the heartstrings as it has no real commentary or insight into the situation. It just wants to show you crying babies, women and sad people.

I actually found this to be worth the time. I haven't paid much attention to the situation down there, and seeing it was enlightening.
Onto the content...
I wonder, can someone tell me why there are so many obese people in these video clips, if food is so hard to come by?
Why does there seem to be so many people sitting around? Surely with so much manpower available, there are way to make them productive on a large scale?

#17This presentation is a great experiment, but it's just that, an experiment in presentation. It should never have been released to the general public, just to UI or web dev forums in order for them to learn from. I think that human computer interaction has taken massive steps back from the 90s. That, or I'm getting old. Could be both too. Aside: some great content here though. so many beautiful shots of the country. A…
The biggest step back happened after we started describing the "human-computer interaction". I don't want an interaction. I'm talking to a machine, not a person. This isn't a two-way conversation. If I wanted to see transitions between slides and text fed to me piecemeal, I'd watch a TV report on the issue. This article is like watching that TV report but also having to click an arrow every ten seconds to prove I'm still paying attention. I got through maybe six slides before giving up.

#18I love these multi-media style articles. Didn't anyone else feel completely transported when they watched the yuca getting cooked and saw that woman's tears?
Certainly it's not the right choice for every story, but I think it's often better than a typical narrated video piece. Here's another one that I think takes advantage of the format beautifully: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/kinder...

I guess you operate your computer with no output devices?
