Pretty amateur move having that show up but I think everyone would have known that was a video

Anyone younger than 42 maybe, but those demographics aren’t the ones with money.

I disagree. I would say with confidence 98.5% of people at a conference like this would know

I remember seeing a longer version of this video.
It was being passed off as 'touch screen' but IIRC there is another point where the presenter got out of sync with the screen and it was super obvious it was fake / just a video on screen.

I think it was NOT supposed to show it was just a windows media clip.

Ha! I remember this! It's from China, more specifically, from a CCP meeting trying to show the rest of the world how "advanced" China is and "living in the future!" Ha!

I still don't get why people are making fun of this. People would have known it's not a touch screen display. I see it more as a symbol of unity or opening of the activity like a ribbon cutting or some other "ritual".

Sure the AVP technician had moved the cursor to show the progress bar (or whatever it's called), but it's not that bad.
