Why The Movie Industry Is Bad For Innovation

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) claims that SOPA and PIPA are aimed at stopping online piracy. But as this infographic demonstrates, it’s really about fighting innovation.

You already know my take on this. Any form of censorship is bad. People will always be offended by something. Heck, I'm offended by a lot of things.And many things are bad for me (from a personal point of view, obviously). Do I go around trying to interdict them just because I don't like'em? No.

Education By The Numbers

I am always awestruck at how much information can be conveyed with a simple infograph. I mean, you could spend hours or more searching for the stuff you need (actually that's what the people behind infographs are doing, no doubt) or you could get it all wrapped nicely in an infograph.

The latest one I discovered is about the state of Education around the Globe. Something I was always curious about but too lazy to do the research (lack of time is also presend, but like my sensei used to say, there's no such thing as I can't do it, just I don't want to).

So, kudos to the teachers who deserve it and to all the students as well.

Some Ideas For Your 2012 Social Media Plan

It's been a long time since I've posted anything than an infograph or video. So that makes me pretty nervous. :) Not.

I went through this presentation made by @radian6 and loved it so I decided it needs to be shared with more people. It's filled with good advice for both social media n00bs as well as more seasoned vets. Worth taking a look!

 

The Leading Innovators

Let's see who are the most innovative industries and countries in the new millenia. I mean, there won't be any surprises at the top. The most noteworthy one is the absence of China, mainly because "if focuses on the internal market at first". Oh, come on! Will they ever open themselves fully to embrace the rest of the world? The government can't keep them out of the loop like this forever. Or can it? That's for a different type of post and blog altogeher so I'll stop here.

Dino-Chicken? Why not!

This made me laugh so hard! Then again, it might prove to work, so my laughter could be premature :D

All I can say is, the people over @LiveScience thought about something doable with today's scientific knowledge. And the answer is the Dino-chicken! In post-modern science, chicken eats you!

Oh, you know what would be really cool? If they would use an ostrige or an emu, this way the chances of mayhem ensuig are highly increased. ;)

Look closely and you'll find an easter egg in the picture.

Can science turn back the clock on evolution to make a chicken into a dinosaur? Find out in this incredible LiveScience infographic.

The History of Advertising

Hello people!

Guess this web 2.0 thing doesn't need too much time to recharge. A couple of days after Xmas and here we are back on the saddle, doing what we do best, spread information.

I'm going to let you enjoy a cool infograph made by the nice folks over @Infolinks that takes us through the history of advertising, from its humble beginning and reaching out to more modern times, like, for instance the Old Spice campaign that made Isaiah Mustafa a very known guy on the interwebs and not only.

So, ladies and gents, I'll let you savour the latest informational graphic I found.

Cheers!
