Despite the producer's upbeat and engaging voice this short piece may be recieved by PR listeners as too elementary. My grandmother would listen to this and benefit, but this effort is lost on most baby boomers and Gen Xers. She uses good comparisons to human memory and productivity, additionally she identifies the misconceptions of GHz speed and how computers are marketed. I doubt you'd find this kind of piece on NPR but it might fit into CBC "Quirks & Quarks"
