We might not need roads, but the future it appears, will always need radio stations! In 1983, Steve Jobs answered a question about software distribution with an answer so profound it anticipated the next 30 years of technological transformation. /1

What a farewell vid from @cocker who clearly loved his time in South Africa…
If you haven’t followed @cocker from EggChasers on YouTube do so now. The guy has done wonders for SA Tourism in highlighting just how good we have it in SA on his travels during the Ireland series. A great bloke with fantastic content. youtu.be/OVMaDlfPoQY?si=gC87…

Of course, the tech revolution is a dynamo of change in media, society and culture. We think this means trouble for traditional media, but actually the tech, society and the moment have all arrived for media brands to reinvent themselves by embracing the social revolution. 1/

Instagram is dead. In the next 3 - 5 years, every single image in social media will be generated by AI. And here is the kicker: It will be impossible to tell fake from reality. I wrote a few lines of Python code to show you how screwed we are:

FB, Insta and WhatsApp being down is exactly why Web3 is necessary. We've given too much power to FB. Own your data, your platform, your influence and let it move around with you. What's Web3 you say? From tomorrow you'll hear a lot more about it...

No politicians in this picture. No children or spin-doctors or spies of disgraced presidents fomenting violence. No police or army. South Africa is kept alive by its citizens. Over and over again. (Pic by @Thuthuka Zondi)
