Did you know? 3.0

I found the “Did You Know?” video

by Karl Fish, to be very entertaining and very truthful. It is entertaining because of the use of motion and music to grab the audience’s attention and truthful in its data. The video’s layout is simple. It starts out with a black and grey, reminding his audience of how technology used to be. It then goes into song appropriately titled “right here, right now” by fatboy slim to catch the audience’s attention. Then, the slides go into certain types of information telling the audience how technology has impacted us over the years; an example of this would be “did you know that the top 10 demanding jobs in 2010 did not exists in 2004.”

The video’s main objective is to give the audience little bits of information to draw their attention to how technology was and how it is today. The message I got from this video is this: technology is growing at an alarmingly fast rate, making jobs possible for millions, and we have to accept it. We have to open our minds and accept this technological boom that is happening in our day and age if we want to survive and make it in this world; a survival of the fittest.

  1. Did you write this in a word processor and paste it here? It breaks words at the end of lines. I would like to figure out why that happens. Any ideas?

  2. My guess is the program and its characters don't support it. It's only when you tab and change it to double space. so if you single space and don't tab--everything works out fine.
