Editor's Notes
- What it’s like today
- 1 zetabyte is equivalent to 2 billion years worth of music.Its all a bit too much (think of all the more reasons to procrastinate )Information used to be a commodity, now attention isIn the past year internet users in Africa have grown 2527.4% to now over 600 million user
- If you look at the different mediums and their popularity over time you will see we are in an ever more complex spaceThe timeline on this graph is not linear though
- If you look at these sources of info over time though you see a very interesting story, we are going though a media revolution, I think large companies have 2 year from now to get it right or become irrelevant

- Remember everything is going to be ok,
- In SA the internet spend is about 3%! There is a huge opportunity here – cheap media – massive reach – seen as industry leaders (if fnb can do it with banks why cant multichoice do it with TV)

- Leave out the jargon, who talk about tissue session, LSM’s, negative space, type, Essentially most of the time you the equivalent of the wait 5 seconds before you can skip this adIf only they had used din light this ad would have really talked to me and my identity.Remember when you put your video online, you compete with billions of content that's not advertising. Be brave
