It's all about people. Well, at least people connectors.
Today I watched a keynote presentation given by Dan Harmon. He is the executive producer behind some of my favorite shows of recent memory. I've attached a link to the full video below.

His main point was discussing what he called People connectors. In his keynote, he referred to both television and the internet as people connectors. He also claimed that money ruined television and it will someday ruin the internet. I can see myself agreeing with Dan somewhat. However, I see other people connectors as well.
To me, conversation is the ultimate people connector. What better way to connect with someone other than talking with and listening to another person. The second part is really important!
But as Dan mentioned, you can't take the connector more serious than the connection or else it loses it's effect. In other words, don't be so focused on the medium as much as the content. That's where the magic is. In addition, I think it's important to be true to yourself and have your voice. (You may have noticed that I inject my attempts at humor in my writing so hopefully, I'm staying true to this advice.)
What are your thoughts? Let's keep the conversation going!
You may (or may not) have noticed that I missed yesterday. This one was half written yesterday and I didn't finish it until today. So, I'm pulling a double header! Day 8 and 9!
