Now... before I go any further, I want to go on record as saying that it's (past!) time to stop calling things "21st Century ______."

Google URL Shortener Posted by Michael Hermanto, Software Engineer, Firebase We launched the Google URL Shortener back in 2009 as a way to help people more easily share links and measure traffic online. Since then, many popular URL shortening services have emerged and the ways people find content on the Internet have also changed dramatically, from primarily desktop webpages to apps, mobile devices, home assistants, and more. To refocus our efforts, we're turning down support for goo.gl over the coming weeks and replacing it with Firebase Dynamic Links (FDL). FDLs are smart URLs that allow you to send existing and potential users to any location within an iOS, Android or web app. We're excited to grow and improve the product going forward.

They share details of each, with a little historic background, places the clip in context, and then offer numerous lesson suggestions. This is the link to The Great Animations Shed, which includes a clip from the movie, The Rocketeer.

I want my students to read widely and read often, to pick up a book instead of browsing Tumblr every time they are bored.
