The Power of Video on Globalization

The focus for this blog, I decided to dedicate it towards video innovation and how it has an affects on us on a global level. With video media streams such as Cisco, Skype, YouTube, Vimeo and Viddler, the world is increasingly becoming more and more connected. No matter what desire or interest you may have, there is probably more information on it than you can consume at one time frame. As the Internet and social networking sites continue to grow, so does video content because there is always that need to share visually as well as verbally.

I choose the video "How web video powers global innovation" from TED.com presented by Chris Anderson a speaker and the new leader of TED. I choose this video because taking my company to the next level by going global is one of my top 5 goals for my entertainment business. This speech made me more aware of just how close I am to achieving this goal. Anderson speaks on the phenomenon he refers to as “Crowd Accelerated Innovation” in which you need a crowd of people that share a universal interest, visibility of capability and the desire to learn, research and practice. The way we are connected today as compare to before the wave of the Internet, show us just how much more we are connected globally. Our interest and cultures is being share on a daily basis through many types video mediums. This speech was very inspiring to me because for the first time, I can visually see how connected we really are. No longer is there a need to visit countries globally to look for that crowd that shares a common interest for what it is that you desire. Just by using the marketing streams that have already been created, you can shine a light on what you are the best at and let the crowds decide and draw themselves to you. Anderson expressed his passion about TED idea of openness and being “part of the crowd that may be about to launch the biggest learning cycle in human history, a cycle capable of carrying all of us to a smarter, wiser and more beautiful place”. We all feel this change that’s happening all around us and it’s something we all welcome with open arms.
