Media Trend Thinking: Shift Happens
Shift happens...and it's happening right now. Labels: Education, Future, Global, Learning, Media Trend Watching, Perspective, Shift Happens, Statistics, think differently, Thinking, trends
The Jointblog is an online place for media trend watching, connecting the dots of media changes. Where thoughts about the future can be discussed and reviewed as it relates to the present. Many research companies -- including Joint Communications -- regularly publish media predictions which anticipate future growth. Some of these studies generate action, some don't. The intent, though, is to generate quality thought and perspective.
Searching for trend information, we stumbled across a fantastic video presentation of various global facts and statistics which delivers that high standard. It will make you think. It will give you perspective. It will inform you in a new way. And it may serve as a catalyst for conversation and executive action.
Give it a view...and make sure you take some notes (our thanks to Glumbert.com):

Crafty Google proofreading; Is it a test?
Google's meteoric rise the last 8 years generates extreme cases of media envy and worship everywhere. The "Do No Evil" company seemingly never makes a stumble, even when it acknowledges they made a bad deal custom filtering Google to make the Chinese government censors happy. Labels: gaff, Google, Jossip, mistakes, proofread, think differently
Still, Google just can't do any wrong, even as critics try to dig up the dirt.
CNN Money's The Browser spotted and authenticated it. Jossip then posted this funny today under the catchy headline title "Google CEO Eric Schmidt Controls $144 Billion; Declines To Shell Out An Additional $10 At Kinko's To Have Them Proofread His Business Cards":It hasn't exactly been a stellar day over at Google headquarters. First, the hot lunch was described as "tepid at best" by engineers at the Googleplex cafeteria. And now comes damning evidence that Google CEO and Chairman (sp?) Eric Schmidt is carrying around a typo-laden business card.
If it's one of those infamously-creative Google tests designed to evaluate potential job candidates (spot and fix the error, you're Google-ready), kudos. That's good "think differently" a la Apple.
