20. Origami?What’s that got to do with Technologies and Learning!

21. Did you hear about the Origami Business? It folded... I heard about that, a few weeks before they had to make cuts. I wouldn't be so sure, I reckon it'll have us all in creases I hear there's a new Origami channel on TV. I was going to watch it but it's only available on pa(y)per view. I won't watch it, when it comes to watching TV I'm trying to turn over a new leaf. Thank you
