Know this or fail… excellent Video on the Future, the Internet, Marketing and Convergence. The Economist Magazine creates another fast paced informative update to their “Shift Happens” Video Series.

This is a MUST see. It’s a matter of staying on top of it or staying behind.

Basically, the world of buying and selling will be on your mobile communicator. Does this mean computers die? Yes IF you are able to plug your phone into your flatpanel AND you can run the top games.

From the Youtube Website
“This is another official update to the original “Shift Happens” video. This completely new Fall 2009 version includes facts and stats focusing on the changing media landscape, including convergence and technology, and was developed in partnership with The Economist.

The ideal device? A mobile communicator with unlimited online AND offline storage capacity, a top game running super powerful processor, beautiful large display, plugin ability to a flat panel and widescreen, low monthly speedy Internet, TV and radio reception, touch screen, attachable full keyboard capability. My opinion. : )

My good friend said “Nothing’s wrong unless you get caught.”

Now, he wouldn’t do anything wrong HIMSELF. He’s a goody two shoes.

BUT… he raises an interesting point that has been PROVEN CORRECT to me today.

Dr. Mercola reports that:

The New York Times discovered that Genentech (big biotech company) was telling top Congresspeople from BOTH parties what to say and write (as their own words) into the Congressional Record to help Genentech.

No debate. No questions. No appraisals of whether the laws were good or bad for the country. Just pure control of the Congresspeople for money.

So what did a Genentech lobbyist say about all this?

They said, It isn’t nefarious. It happens all the time..”

Nice one, lobbyist. Why do you make me sick?

~~~

Congresspeople are NOT your represenatives. They belong to Genentech and other companies with MONEY.

okay?

BUSINESS LESSON: Get a LOT of money. Then, do whatever you want to whomever you want. Just be sure to have a law degree and friends in high places. Then, you can own the world. If there is a world left to own.

Greed destroys. An inevitable Rule of Law and Life that lawyers (and politicians) ignore.

Carmine Gallo wrote a book revealing Steve Jobs’ presesentation secrets. Impressive. He goes into great detail with documentation, examples, descriptions.

The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs: How to Be Insanely Great in Front of Any Audience

Steve Jobs uses lots of photos, few words. I KNEW THAT. Look at every kid’s picture book. What’s not to love?

(For those in Rio Linda and my gamer forum - Steve Jobs is the founder and CEO of Apple Computers. Apple makes the iPod and iPhone. Steve is a MAC, not a PC.)

Carmine says that Steve Jobs reels you in. He TRICKS you. He turns ordinary into extraordinary. Makes you laugh.

Like, for example, when Steve presented the iPhone. He started with 3 new amazing astounding products. THEN, he said, “These are not 3 devices. These are just one. The iPhone. Get it?”

I think it’s the “get it,” that got it.

Carmine calls this a “holy smokes” moment.

Steve Jobs knows how to create short Twitterful headlines. Brief belief. I mean, if it makes a great tweet, it’s a great headline. Right? Right. Steve KNOWS. He tweeted before Twitter even was twat.

Steve does real good bad guy good guy stuff. Slay the dragon, whomp on the villain. Like, the PC.

Steve will even whup on society in general. Like the lady who threw the sledge hammer against the giant screen. But… have you ever noticed that your average Apple store looks like the futuristic androgynous society in that Apple commercial? Hmm.

Steve doesn’t let you get bored. Carmine describes how Steve demonstrated the iPhone by calling Starbucks right from the convention. When Starbucks answered, he ordered 4000 lattes for the audience. “Just kidding,” he said.

Dang - Steve even makes me want a latte.

Steve sells dreams, says Carmine. Like, making the world a better place. The iPod wasn’t just a Music Storage Device. The iPod made the world a better place. It enriched your life. Yeah!

Carmine’s book is a must buy. I’m reading it. Presenting like Steve is Gooood. Good for business.
