In this installment, I’ll be discussing Local 58’s most recent video, Digital Transition. Local 58 is truly a remarkable channel; I’ve considered doing an overview of the entire series at various points over the past few years, but I never really got around to it. However, if that is something you would really like to see happen, let me know in the comments and I’ll see what I can do. You might recall that I’ve previously covered Local 58; specifically, I performed a “close reading” of the very first installment in the series, “You Are On The Fastest Available Route.” I will definitely be touching on a lot of the points I made in that video, so be sure to check it out.
