I’m feeling mesmerized by this immersive audio narration

As a human, something doesn’t feel right with the increase in everyday velocity.
I would even argue that the speed we’re supposed to function at nowadays is not meant for humans anymore, like against our human nature.
This high-speed is to be parsed by a machine, or what’s in between - the half-computer half-human cyborg that we are currently becoming.
Here’s something where everyday velocity seems more compatible to us humans: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQs5VxNPhzk

# How to present:
1. Say what you’re going to show
2. Show it
3. Summarize what you’ve just shown

And only when answered yes, do I build up a fascination for the company and its product.
It’s a bit like the curse of knowledge, but I guess I’ll get used to it.
What really pisses me off is that my joy (for technology, innovation, and the latest “cutting-edge pony” to admire) has shrunk because as I’ve learned over the years that how you make money (ethically) is equally important as the outcome of the company’s R&D and their flagship product.
So, my thought process has become:
1. Does the company offer a great product? Cool.
2. Is their business model ethical and transparent so that even I can understand it?

What I like about learning…
The thing you hated the most in the beginning (when you didn’t know how to do it) becomes the thing you’ll love the most—after you’ve learned it.
One exception: Math. Math is still and will always be an a**hole :P
