All I can say is that video, which im assuming was a commercial they aired on TV, makes IBM look naive. What that women asked is something that most people would never be able to do with or without social networking. If anything, social networking would be able to HELP you do this. What that guy was doing was checking his Facebook account and just got called out for it. FAIL.
