Museums reinventing themselves for a new media-frenzied generation.
An interesting perspective on how museums are changing in an era of ubiquitous cell phones, and museums are accommodating by relaxing their "no photography" policies.
I hate her use of "mediate" at 3:04, where she's saying "connect with others through social media." I realize mediate can mean to "be a means of conveying," but surely it's to convey something formal like legal principles or philosophy concepts.
But, I'm sad to report it's a legitimate use of the word mediate. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediated_communication
That use of the word mediating is right up there with "concertize" and "incentivize," "actioning," and "updation."
"Updation," curiously, is courteous of the OED.
