Year: 2018

Impact and effectiveness of certain presentations is not measured by the immediate comments received off stage, but by the outcome of a chain reaction that those presentations trigger. Sometimes, you have to wait a full year before you realise ineffectiveness despite compliments.

How is that people across geographies and industries all marvel at the @Apple narrative style and then they do the exact opposite when they build their own presentations?

Building a presentation boils down to making a call on how you want to tell a story.
You need to make hard decisions about what to focus on and how to say it.
You cannot tell everything to everybody. That is a recipe for disaster.

(an #AI sees) “very different things in an image, even sick things, if trained on the wrong (or, the right!) data set. Norman suffered from extended exposure to the darkest corners of Reddit, and represents a case study on the dangers of AI gone wrong…” https://t.co/uPMyXNQ7bY

I’ve been experimenting a bit with Facebook & Instagram. It’s clear to me that my contacts don’t see my posts when I publish them but only later. Not only we are losing the capability to see things in real time. We are also losing control of when to say the things we want to say.
