Problem Identified - Thank you Ted
“The problem in Canada is … they have almost third-world access to the internet,” said Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer of Netflix
....well ok, Ted you've identified at least one our problems.
But how really serious is it? Imagine the world before Internet. Yes a world where we actually had an attention span longer than that of a goldfish. A world where opinion could be shaped by 6 world famous news anchors no matter how right, wrong or slanted, there were six - instead of one re-Tweet that went wild, a viral anything, or a Wikipedia train wreck.
The new word for "think" is Google. Ask. Then Google. End of Debate. YES Google is great. But has it made us smarter, or just faster - and sometimes just...wronger?
Is a community of people without Internet really worse off Ted? Or instead, a community that thrives on search, debate and continuance of conversation…..as opposed to “this conversation is at an end…I validated it”
...“Where”…
…“Google”.
And does BING wish it were Google? You bet!
Let all go bowling. On a wood lane. With real balls that if dropped on your toe - cause an explicative.
