Video – bringing human interaction back October 19th, 2010 / Comments: 0 In a recent Beet.TV interview, Chris Anderson, curator of the TED Conferences, stated that video is a “Reinvention of the Spoken Word.” Just reading the headline I was moved to question – what if everyone began using this “reinvention” to communicate versus simply posting comments, posts, likes, sending text messages and the many other ways we have become accustomed to communicate? In this video, Chris talks about the art of telling a story with human to human communication. Imagine how interesting it would be to actually hear and see the people that we follow and/or connect with everyday on social platforms. The people we think we may know, the people with whom we may have lost touch or even the friends and family who live far away. Video is inherently social and takes social interactions online to an entirely new level. It is through video that 85 percent of U.S. Senate hopefuls across the country are spreading their message. It is how a teacher’s classroom expands beyond four walls and eliminates geographic boundaries. Brands have also taken on this medium to issue statements, apologies and courses of action. It is through video that social interactions become real. With all this in mind, what will you capture or share via video? P.S. Thanks to Andy Plesser for his series with Chris Anderson on the topic.
