I remember seeing the Milgram Experiment videos in high school and being completely blown away. It was a powerful example of just quickly and easily we can fall prey to harmful authorities.

This was broadcast in France claiming to be a real game show and the public flipped out. Turned out it was really a documentary “re-make” of Milgram’s classic experiment from Yale.

A few take-aways:

1) The fact that nobody recognized this for what it was makes me sad – it means students, at least in France, are not being shown one of the most important videos of my own education. You’d think the French, especially, would want their children to understand the dangers of evil authorities.

2) Human nature has not changed a bit – we are all still at the mercy of those who tell us what to do.

Sure, this video is totally entertaining and what is more important is that it proves that even online in a world of man jerking themselves off and girls hitting “next” as fast as they can, what we all really want is just a moment of authentic quality entertainment.

Now, let’s all get out there and start giving the people what they want!

This is a great example of combining live events, online syndication and traditional media to make a huge impression across multiple platforms and even countries.

Watch until the end for the impact.

This is a clever video but it only gets clever after the half-way point, so stick with it if you like clever.

I do like clever and I liked this video, produced by Penguin UK, but they get one thing wrong: yes, young people still love to read but the idea that they have some deep love for the old-fashioned wood-pulp version of the book is one that Penguin, and the rest of the book publishing world, should get over.

There are so many sci-fi worthy developments occurring that it is hard to keep up. So, I can’t imagine how hard it is to try and write sci-fi stories that stay ahead of what is actually happening in the here-and-now.

Thanks to a group of students and their professor at University of Washington in Seattle, the totally futuristic fantasy of having a Terminator-like version of heads-up display might just be a reality before Arnie leaves office in California.

Ben Heck is pretty much the accepted world leader when it comes to re-creating amazing tech gadgets like handheld XBOX’s and the like.

Now he has turned his attention to pinball and combined it will one of Hollywood’s most average actors for something truly special.

Not only did Virgin America take over 13 hours to get passengers from LAX to JFK but thanks to their WiFi passengers were able to document and share the entire ordeal via YouTube, Twitter and Facebook.

Sure, they are all getting refunds and $100 but nothing is better than a public shaming.

The beauty of this video is that it is EXACTLY what the major labels said back then and just what they are saying now about file-sharing.

It’s always kind of fun when an internet meme steps out of the shadows and reveals themselves to the world.
