When was the last time you read the newspaper in the loo?

No, don’t answer that!

But do keep in mind the old ways people can “consume” media (what a horrible phrase) as you watch the latest version of the Did you know?/Shift happens video above, updated by XPLANE in partnership with The Economist. The video focuses on convergence and the changing media landscape.

I discovered the original Did You Know? video a few months back while looking up material to use for a webinar on audience engagement with social media tools. More on that, hopefully, as and when it happens.

My original name for this post was going to be “Fast facts about social media” because the data points in the video flash past almost too fast to take in. It’s an unashamedly US-centric production too, but it’s worth watching all the same.

    we get a paper every day. the old fella reads it but I never bother any more. I know the news the day before because I am online. Yep, times they are a changing… wonder when everyone will catch up? suppose half the country still relies on dead trees for news because they can’t get internet access, maybe that is why innovation is slow in the UK? Wonder when govt will wake up and realise they are being held to ransome by a copper cabal? The biggest shock will come when the olympiads arrive expecting ’superfast next gen broadband’ as Gordon brown said digitalbritain was gonna get in his TED speech. ROFL. Bet there are some red faces around when all the other countries start laughing at our obsolete comms running on copper. We need fibre to the home. oops
    started another rant on your blog. soz.
    you always start me off thinking…
    …backhanded sorta compliment.
