The video parodies a famous Stevie Wonder song from the 1980s: I Just Called To Say I Love You.
Both versions imagine a world where romantic relationships are mediated, but not necessarily with the same degree of pessimism. How does the parody use the original song to say something about both past and present romantic relationships and the roles technology play in sustaining/strengthening/undermining them? Lastly, do you agree/disagree with the video’s message about how digital tools and social media platforms affect relationships?
