Yi-Tan Tech Community Call 322 - What to Watch? - - Sách nói Miễn phí

Many people have gone to great trouble to explain important things to us, in lectures and documentaries. Think TED Talks or the amazing RSA Animate videos. Vast quantities of these videos are now accessible on the Net. Which of them do you think should be top of everyone's list? Which make extremely important points that we should all understand? What is your video canon? Here, for example, are some of mine: * The Century of the Self, by Adam Curtis (four one-hour segments; here's part one) * Brene Brown's TEDx talk about vulnerability * An Anthropological Introduction to YouTube, by Michael Wesch and his classes * Rip! A Remix Manifesto (on Hulu here) * 21st Century Enlightenment, by the RSA's Matthew Taylor * And, just because it's beautiful, a 3-year-old reciting Billy Collins' Litany (and by the author) For the adventuresome, here are lecture series and documentaries in context, in my online Brain. Together, let's discuss: * What movies and videos do you think are essential viewing? * How do these videos build on one another to make bigger arguments? * What might we do to express these ideas more powerfully than video alone can? Tip 'o the hat to Dick O'Neill for the inspiration for this call.
