I hate to be the voice of dissent here (actually, I kinda like it, but
nevertheless...), but:

1) Yes, YouTube is imperfect in many ways, but without it we would not have
been able to see all these cool projects, and the students who built them.

2) I'm sure the students will be presenting their designs to Aaron in a more
traditional and appropriate format.

3) Powerpoint is like anything else: in the right hands, it can be
brilliant; in the wrong hands, it can be awful.

4) Solderless breadboards rock! (although sometimes they suck)
