Socially Unaccpetable

With every social media platform, there are vast differences between the posts. That is kind of by design. The king of this of course, is Facebook. The wide variety of posts people make there are amusing and sometimes dangerous, in a comical way. What is also amusing (to me at least) is how some of the "news" people post. It's old. Although designed to keep everyone up to date with the goings on in the world, it's as if any major news is pretty old about the time it makes it to Facebook.

Smile, You're on Camera

Cameras are everywhere. Your assumption of privacy goes away when you are in public. To fight criminal activity, cameras are everywhere. In some places, they are in neighborhoods. You are being watched everywhere you go and in some exceptional cases, even at home.

In this episode, I get into the whole idea of how we have incorporated cameras into everything. Which begs the question, how much of your privacy are you willing to sacrifice for your safety?

Also, in an interesting twist of fate, this episode marks the first episode we video taped and put on to YouTube. Yes, this show now has a YouTube channel (welcome to the party, pal. I know). But there is a difference between the above show and the video version.

The audio version, as has always been here, is the full show. Nothing different. The video version has been edited to remove the featured song we have been putting in here of late. This is because of YouTube's weirdness when it comes to music. Long story, but the scanning software utilized by YouTube will hijack the channel in an effort to monetize it for an artists distribution company even though we would have permission to feature that artist.

As a result, we decided it would be best to leave the song solely in the realm of the audio only version of the show.

The trade off? The two live read commercials in the audio only version have been taken out of the video version. Make sense?

Conversational Hand Grenades

I employ this tactic quite a bit. My motive for doing so is rather simple. All I want to do is make whoever hears the statements I make to think for a moment about the subject at hand. For years, I have been accused of saying things other people think but are too afraid to say so.

Guilty as charged.

This episode is no different. To explain my point, I decided to take on the apparent controversial subject of Muhammad Ali. I found the reaction to my simple post to be rather dramatic and polarizing. Of course, the point being I was attempting to provoke exactly that same argument not for the point of establishing my personal point of view but to help you look at something from a different point of view.

Everybody's Everything

One of the great things about the internet is the power it has given all of us. It has leveled the playing field and now everybody can say anything they want. This is great. Except when it's not.

Despite the fact most people misuse this power by posting videos of cats and boobies, it has allowed us all to have a voice. If you speak to one person now, you are basically speaking to one thousand. Everyone can now sway the public in one direction or the other on an almost instant basis.
