At the Online Think Tank we receive lots of inquiries from around the World and we discuss all sorts of awesome technologies. Recently one member stated that every good technology or concept needs a good spokesman and someone who can wow the crowds to start a trend. Like Apple, Inc. Steven Jobs.
Yes I do believe the speaker, who believes in their mission is the greatest asset to creating trends that lead to human society movements. I also have theories of how their voice box has extra vibrational attributes when they have certain chemicals in their brain, which run the organic device at a certain frequency. I believe this affects listeners that something is very important and continues to charge up the speaker. People who speak with passion, I am one, can memorize an audience, get them to listen. This is a powerful ability; I believe one, which should not be abused. ie. Hitler in later years.
Often a good presentation includes slide shows, video and graphics, but as one online think tanker clearly stated one must be careful to not over-entertain. In other words are they listening or being dazzled by the nightly news?
Yes well I concur actually with these conclusions and I think the video of the data visualization comment I was making is that if you are "Teaching" humans a concept then you need them to be thinking and so a little dazzling to get their attention is worthy and yet, do not push it.
When one is using these visualization tools to teach a methodology or philosophy then the presenter must be sure that the listeners in the audience absorbing the information and that they "Get It" and consider it to its full potential. No one said life would be easy, nothing good in life ever is. In fact it gets tougher every day to hold the shortened attention span of an audience. I hope this article propels thought in 2007.
