Monk in a funk!

Kudos to whoever found the little film of the monk who's so upset by the introduction of the book, which is threatening to replace his beloved scrolls. It's a brilliant send-up of how people panic when confronted with new technologies, and underscores that such changes have been happening for as long as people have been communicating with one another. The user services monk is so funny, a man of infinite patience!

Any idea of what language they're speaking? I'm guessing Swedish...

I've actually seen this on the archives listserv. People don't like change!
