This is my notes as I drift along with the revolution trying to make heads and tails of content, technology, tools and business models.

For 16 years, WITNESS has harnessed the power of video to advance human rights. In honor of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights on December 10th, we’ve put together this short video with different WITNESS staff talking about images that opened their eyes to human rights abuses around the world.

This is not really about media. But it is about revolution. And it is about Storytelling. Star Wars is just such an amazing piece of storytelling - I especially love the way they use music and audio effects, and I always use examples from the movies when I lecture.

Why Apple is so great at interface design

Pretty amazing series of very telling clips with economists discussing the US enconomy. Starting in 2006 Peter Schiff nails the current crisis in detail. But all the other experts and journalists are denying. They’re even laughing him off as a complete idiot. Talk about objectivity and critical thinking.
Sometimes the key to a good interview can simply be to ask the simple, honest questions. In 1969, 14-year-old Beatle fanatic Jerry Levitan, managed to get an interview with John Lennon in a hotel room in Toronto. 38 years later he has produced this amazing little film about it.

This is the start of what could become a really cool e-learning project. And potentially it could also involve storytelling to solve the different scenarios.
