- Content Creators are the Renaissance Man of the 21st CenturyThe Renaissance man of the 21st century can be found creating videos on YouTube. Instead of books, we find horizontal videos filling the libraries of modern Alexandria. The landscape of horizontal content is changing as vertical content dominates on your mobile device. Who will win? There are concerns about how the medium of short vertical content will impact the message.🎒 RESOURCESAmusing Ourselves to Death by Neil Postman✅ Follow The Beautiful Mess➡️ You can also follow me here:YouTube: https://youtube.com/pauldittusIG: https://www.instagram.com/pauldittus/Twitter: https://twitter.com/pauldittusWebsite: https://pauldittus.comHosted by Paul Dittus (@pauldittus)21 min
- Information Overload and What It Does to Your BrainIn this episode, Paul dives into the impact technology and the internet has on our brains. If you look at the data and the neuroscience behind technology use, we encounter around 4000-10000 ads per day and the media-rich content we consume overwhelms our brain. Back in 2012, a study found that we were consuming around 63 gigabytes a day. Fast forward 10 years and that number is likely to have increased. "Rich media" is overloading our brains. We were made to learn thimble by thimble, not by drinking out of the water hose of modern media. Our cognitive abilities were not made to handle the overstimulation of our brain.🎒 RESOURCESWhat The Internet Is Doing to Our Brains: The Shallows by Nicholas CarrAmusing Ourselves to Death by Neil PostmanDigital Minimalism by Cal NewportSmartphone Use Data from StatistaArticle on How Many Times a Day You Check Your PhoneArticle on Americans' Media ConsumptionForbes Article with Ad Data✅ Follow The Beautiful Mess➡️ You can also follow me here:YouTube: https://youtube.com/pauldittusIG: https://www.instagram.com/pauldittus/Twitter: https://twitter.com/pauldittusWebsite: https://pauldittus.comHosted by Paul Dittus (@pauldittus)25 min
