Bohemian flash mob - Monday Morning Memo

The wizard and I both like a good flash mob video, and this is a GOOD flash mob video. Julien Cohen, the producer of these videos, obviously prefers to do video shorts on Youtube, which means they will have that distictively narrow, vertical layout of 1080 wide by 1920 tall and will always be 3:00 minutes or less.

I shared that information with you so that you might be made aware – in advance – that the video seems to be “truncated.”

Fear not. Part two is on the page that follows this one.

“

Each generation believes that the technological changes it witnesses are not only incrementally bigger than those of the past, but vastly greater to the point of existential threat. We have believed this of everything from steam engines to nuclear power, from the printing press to the Internet. We always think that this time is different, more, and worse.

And yet, our brains remain resolutely unrotted by the telephone, television, video games, and the internet.

Like all technology, so-called AI will bring certain changes, but it does not show the faintest sign of disproving Bernard Levin’s comment in The Times in 1978 that ‘the silicon chip will transform everything, except everything that matters, and the rest will still be up to us.’
