...podcasts, too.

In my work, instruction on new policies & SOP's used to be disseminated by either written memo or classroom instruction. Now there's a YouTube video or Powerpoint slide show for every fucking thing. And every audience member must march in Lockstep with the pace of the presentation. That's certainly not the way my mind operates, and I suspect many other people are similar. So "learning" becomes a 30 minute soul-killing, monitor-staring creep through material that would take 2 minutes to absorb from a one page memo.

If you don't understand my point, check my YouTube video for a one hour exposition of the above.

For Cereal....that and conference calls are my double billing bread and butter.

Agree. Every software tutorial is a video no. Meaning no skim/search capability. No one wants to type anymore

Same thing with lectures.

CAN WE PLEASE JUST BOTTOM LINE THIS SHIT PRETTY PLEASE!?!?!

YES. Just give me the fucking transcript and a couple of photos if necessary.

Why take three times as long to convey the information in a way that can't be reasonably indexed or searched?

It's too easy to film instead of write

I swear to god this bitch I worked with said she didn't use power point etc because it was "more work" and after she was done there was "hardly anything to show for all the work" she did!
