There is so much information that we can’t keep up and will never have time to digest it. There are so many books, films, music, news, ideas that your eyes run away out of habit and never come back. We don’t have time to read the books we bought and the films we marked for viewing. For example, you want to know about public lectures on various topics. 2 minutes of searching will show you that public lectures on dozens of different topics are held at the Polytechnic Museum (you can watch the video on YouTube), the Tsvet Nochi club, Winzavod... And all this at the same time.
You have no chance of attending them in person, you have no chance of even watching them all in recordings. Even those that interest you. And we have not yet gone beyond the Russian-language Internet. And, for example, there are also American TED conferences... We are now preparing a project for an event, within the framework of which video shooting is carried out. Along with the video shooting, we were sent a “memo” about the project so that we could better understand its essence.
So, the memo turned out to be 101 pages long. Memo for video operator and video director. A note for shooting on 101 pages. From all this we can deduce several talents of the future:
Talent first. Activity and the illusion of activity. Constant consumption of information creates the illusion that you are leading a very active lifestyle. For example, keep abreast of all the news, maintain a popular blog and go to all the recommended events. Active is still being the one about whom the news is written, about whom bloggers write and who does events. And I very often hear from such people that they don’t read the news, don’t blog, and rarely go to events. Because busy.
Talent number two. Conciseness. The winner will be the one who can convey complex and new ideas in a concise and audience-friendly form. This is 100% the main talent of the future.
