1. I wonder when they are going to start teaching first graders to not only think twice before they speak but also to think twice before they tweet. At least when you say something you can sort of claim it was misunderstood, but once it is written there is not much you can do.
2. With YouTube's lyric videos and playlist functionality, I am not sure why anybody would buy Karaoke software. The only places that have an exception to my rule are the Korean Karaoke places and their awesome music videos.
3. What happened to all the passion, people had when sharing the Kony 2012 video? At least 30 of my friends were not only sharing but super enthusiastic about the video. But, I only think 1 of them is still involved with putting up fliers.
Is this because of the negative responses to the video?/Because it is super easy to share something without actually doing anything?/Because the co-founder had a mental breakdown?
3B. Also, why was the campaign for fliering launched several months after the initial video? Not only did this allow the chance for mental breakdowns but it definitely caused a major loss of momentum.
4. Don't make jokes about ACLs on a form of social media that your parents read. You will immediately get called or pinged to see if you are ok.
5A. Injuries, kill sports. (NBA Playoffs 2012) I used to be against all the new safety rules by leagues, but as athletes continue to get bigger, faster, stronger, we really need new rules. Even, with new rules there will always be freak accidents. Toughest part of watching sports is seeing someone's season end just because of a fluke injury.
5B. Coaches get questioned for decisions about playing starters at the end of games when they are winning big. But, when their entire job security relies on winning and winning now what choice do they have?

People just have such short attention spans with all the information overload. Think about how many major news events you can really recall from the last year...
ReplyDeleteI think its a combination of short attention span combined with the ease of sharing something vs. comitting and actually taking action as well as the negative reaction from a lot of the popular organizations already in the field. I would argue short attention span was a small fraction of that.
