Information R/evolution

By Jim Bruene on November 5, 2007 6:08 AM | Comments (2)

If you are an information junkie, and especially if you went to college before 1995, you'll love this video from Kansas State professor Michael Wesch (see below, note 1). Aside from the The Evolution of Dance and maybe the OkGo treadmill routine, this might be the best video I've ever seen online.  

 

At first, I wasn't sure how to relate it to online finance. But after you watch it, think about what it means in the context of searching for financial information. Internet users, especially those under 30, approach information seeking in an entirely different way now. That has a huge impact on the way financial services will be "sold" in the future. Hint, it won't be from a branch.

Sensational video. What about the linking of video (Youtube) to places (maps 3d) and day/date/time? Very now.
Cool.

Hi Jim, great catch, we loved it too. We used this video to kick off our CEO's presentation at the Financial Servcies Technology Forum in Toronto last month http://e-financial.wowgao.com/. We thought this was a very appropriate video for our discussion.
