This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

Fantastic video on the progression of information technology, researched by Karl Fisch, Scott McLeod, and Jeff Bronman, remixed.

Sony played this mind-blowing video at their executive conference this year.




In answer to the question at the end of the video, ---- Were F#5cked!!!! :roll:

Frightening, yet exciting.

Frightening because rapid change is continuous. Exciting because there are more possibilities than ever before.

Demographic trends do not favor us in the long term, though.

Cool video, thanks for posting it.

As for the whole "who answered the questions before Google" topic, the answer is that usually people would argue for hours about it before. Now a barroom debate can be definitively settled (at least potentially) with a mobile phone with internet access. I love being able to pull up something on the internet in those situations to prove someone spouting misinformation wrong. :D

Great. Something else to panic about.

Awesome video. I did find that fact regarding technology doubling every 2 years to be true when I entered college. I had an entire class on DOS. I still use DOS commands and keyboard shortcuts that would blow the minds of all those Windows geeks.

10 A=0
20 Print "Hello"
30 A=A+1
40 if A=10 then goto 99
50 goto 20
99 end

Been a long time..... not quite sure it is correct but I'll get an error if it isn't.

Think I can get a Job with Bill Gates? Oh! that's right, he is off giving away money! SHIT!!!!

Oh! my favorite keyboard short cut in IE
Type only the name of the web site you want to goto in the address bar, (no http://www ... or the .com). Hold down the ctrl key and press enter.
