I still enjoy watching US comedian Louis CK’s famous “Everything’s Amazing and Nobody’s Happy” TV clip where he lambasts people for not appreciating the simple things (and the amazing things) in life. His appearance on the Conan chat show became an online viral hit with 5.4 million viewings on YouTube alone.
This weekend, Joe Higgins of Coup Media reminded me of another great Louis CK clip, also from the Conan Show, where he shares his dislike of Twitter and the fact that cameras in mobile phones mean that many of us now live through life’s most extraordinary moments through a 3 inch screen.
And he’s right too. Life’s too awe-inspiring to view through an artificial medium; our own eyes provide a far better way to experience the world’s wonders as it unveils itself before us every day. Enjoy the clip.
Thanks to young Mr Lee Williams for sharing this most entertaining clip from a show soon to be shown on the BBC. The furious pace of our technologically-fuelled world is brought into vivid focus by this joyful reminder to enjoy the simple pleasures in our lives. This should make you :-)
Thanks for stopping by. I'm Allister Frost, founder of Wild Orange Media, digital marketing specialist, coach, speaker and lecturer. I've been enthusiastically creating socially-enabled businesses since 2003 and now help people in organisations shift from pumping out advertising messages to engaging in two-way social conversations with their customers and prospects through emerging digital channels. I call this paradigm change "From Shouting To Conversing," but it's nowhere near as frightening as it sounds.
