HYPERFAST HUMANITY!

 

Lives in the 21st century are now so integrated with the infrastructure of streaming technology that we've forgotten to question it. The variety, volume and speed of everything - from media to research, entertainment to sport, stock markets to multi-stakeholder conferences in 7 different simultaneous time zones - is constantly pushing the envelope of more, bigger and faster.
 
So who is in charge of this? Consumers? Producers? Regulators?

 

The special guest to explore this, is one of the UK's leading experts of streaming technology: Lee Radbourne - General Manager (EMEA), Aura

"There's an element of loss of waiting, or anticipation. The Mandalorian for example, on Disney Plus, is released on a schedule now, almost like a linear show. Madness! What do you mean I can't just binge it over a weekend, like I normally do? The instant gratification comes more from an expectation."

"Our kids have no concept of what a device is, or what a video recorder is, or even within technology, what a server is. My favourite an anecdote I keep seeing is, you ever seen kids trying to describe what the 'save' button is? Trying to explain it was a physical three-and-a-half-inch floppy disc!"

"I think it's sensible to take a pause sometimes with technology. But I think it's just one simple thing that's going to change the way we deliver stuff and make stuff more personalised. We already have good policy in place. GDPR is good policy, it does protect people."

 

"The younger generation, they know the value of their data. So if there's an incentive for them and it's in their interest, they're quite happy to share data. The reason your daughter doesn't care is all her friends are on Tik Tok."

 

"Whether we like it or not, commercialism and capitalism is the market of choice at the moment and that's how we make our money and there is value in the data."

 

"There's a lot of dinosaurs out there who are set in their ways, and their goal is to make as much money as possible and they don't care how they do it. There's also people coming through who are now bursting into senior roles or executive roles, like myself, we grew up before the Internet, without smartphones, and we know what is important to us. That's just what good business looks like now, you have to be conscious of your social impact. How are we going to give back?"

 

"I'd love to get to the point where we can make a carbon neutral streaming platform."

The Grand Inquisitor (dramatic reading) Fyodor Dostoyevsky The Grand Inquisitor is a parable told by Ivan to Alyosha in Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel The Brothers Karamazov (1879–1880). Ivan and Alyosha are brothers; Ivan questions the possibility of a personal, benevolent God and Alyosha is a novice monk. The Grand Inquisitor is an important part of the novel and one of the best-known passages in modern literature because of its ideas about human nature and freedom, and because of its fundamental ambiguity. In the tale, Christ comes back to earth in Seville at the time of the Inquisition. He performs a number of miracles (echoing miracles from the Gospels). The people recognize him and adore him, but he is arrested by Inquisition leaders and sentenced to be burnt to death the next day. The Grand Inquisitor visits him in his cell to tell him that the Church no longer needs him. The main portion of the text is the Inquisitor explaining to Jesus why his return would interfere with the mission of the church. (Summary by Wikipedia)Ca Tales From the Citadel Miguel Angel Perez Garcia As Rick and Morty prepare to go to Atlantis, they're interrupted by a Rick and Morty pair looking for donations to the Citadel Redevelopment fund. Our Rick and Morty refute the possibility of donation with hostility, pointing out that our Rick was the one to destroy it in the first place, and the pair leave. Speaking of Souls Metropolitan Tabernacle The deeper things of life are so easily crowded out today. Here at the Metropolitan Tabernacle we cater for the needs of the soul. True fulfilment and happiness depends on knowing who we are, and knowing the Lord, our Creator. Don’t let yourself be swept away, programmed and ruled by the shallow things of materialism and hedonism. We need Him and one day we must give account to Him. We’ve presented a collection of material here to help you. Do investigate the facts of the Christian faith, and the possibility of walking with God. Creative Meditation Iwihub - Be Your Self We invite you to join the recorded online meditations. We use the book “Rising in consciousness” of Joel S. Goldsmith to enter deeper into the possibility of “Creative Meditation”.Come as you are. All are welcome.
