Slap in the Face
My blog seems kind of boring, and more for me than anyone else, mostly because I’m probably the only one that reads it :-) I was reading what Ben said about the “platform of the future” and it hit me. It “slapped me in the face” you might say.
Visual entertainment for me is sitting down and watching a TV show with my wife at night. Ya, I know, pretty old fashioned. But when I saw THIS GUY’S youtube channel, I thought, “this is the new TV”. It was funny, hilarious at times and he comes off as someone we all know. Mostly, because he’s being himself, I suppose. Watch the video on his home page. Most of them are around 10 minutes long.
So, how do I fit this type of entertainment into my normal routine of sitting down and having an entertaining laugh with my wife? 10 minutes of video is longer than the typical “come check out this video, babe!” Setting up my computer and hooking it up to the TV is pretty cumbersome and annoying. It needs to be something more fluid, more efficient. Maybe like the new Vizio/Internet TV, idk.
Then I discovered Blippy. It’s basically your financial purchases in Twitter form. I was blown away again!! Just read about it HERE before you make any judgments :-)
Technology moves so quickly, but it seems like there are only a few innovations that are just brilliant and somewhat useful!
What technology do you use to be entertained?
