From black and white classics to the vibrant colors of today, television has been a constant companion in our journey through time. Cheers to the storytellers! 📺🎬 Television is very important and plays a vital role in society for a number of reasons: Social Connection: By giving viewers a common experience, television helps people feel more connected to one another. Watching popular television shows, sporting events, or cultural programs can unite people and provide topics of conversation. Political Influence: Public opinion and political discourse are greatly influenced by television. Through informing the public, political debates, interviews, and news analysis on television support democracy. Sports and Cultural Events: People can watch major events without physically being there thanks to television, which brings these events into their homes. This encourages a feeling of belonging and common experiences. #TVjourney #Worldtelevisionday #TVday #TVcelebration #Watchandlearn #TVentertainment #Televisionimpact #TVmemories #Smallscreenmagic

WISDOM WEDNESDAY “[I]n contrast to written and oral discourse, television encourages… Passivity Incoherence (lack of ability to conduct sustained thinking on a subject) Lack of deliberation And triviality. It floods us with information with which we are expected to do nothing. What we get from television lacks action value and therefore produces a sense of impotency. As a medium, moreover, television has produced a world of broken time and broken attention.” - Gene Veith Pretty sure this can be applied to “screen time” of all sorts, not just TV. Don’t get me wrong, I am a big fan of a lot of television shows, but I think Veith issues a warning that we would do well to consider. What do you think? I am especially curious about what you think Veith means by “broken time.” #learning #television #learninganddevelopment #readmorebooks

I am extra-super-sad I cannot attend this, as I have SO MANY thoughts on this myself (as both a former contestant, a game design hobbyist, and a reality tv fan) and I would be interested to see what the panelists have to share as well. If there is a stream / recording, I would love to see it after the fact Murtz Jaffer #reality #gamedesign

This short article gives you a quick overview of why you need a TV Series Bible, highlighting the surprising oversight among writers, including those on our platform and our competitors, who often lack a series bible to accompany their pilot scripts. This gap in understanding is explored in terms of the history, significance, and intricacies involved in its creation. https://lnkd.in/gRVUZyzM

Imagine you have gone out to attend stand-up comedy to have some fun, and a random guy starts to talk about quantum mechanics and all. That's what I did in my recent stand-up. But don't worry; it was not a boring talk but a comedy session. When I started doing science communication, the biggest challenge I faced was how to infuse it with mainstream entertainment form, aiming to dispel the notion that STEM is just for nerds. I stepped out of my comfort zone and decided to explore stand-up as one of the options. Unlike other stand-up comedians, my performances are always STEM-based, ensuring that you not only have a good laugh but also pick up some knowledge. Let me know what you think about this initiative. #stem #sciencecommunication #standupcomedy

Science communication can be difficult, particularly for urgent and sensitive topics like climate change. These challenges demand innovative solutions. At the #BECC conference, we explored an unconventional solution: training comedians to talk about climate change. Here's why this unconventional approach could be effective: 🤣 Comedy can play a vital role in navigating tough conversations on anxiety-inducing topics like climate change. It helps to break down barriers, moving us from avoidance and inaction to meaningful action. 🎭 Different emotions can serve as catalysts for action. Fear prompts us to respond to risks, hope inspires new initiatives, anger drives us to confront inequalities, and joy sustains behavioral change. 🌿 Comedy has the power to reframe environmentally-friendly behaviors as appealing and socially desirable. Green behaviors can be depicted as alluring, enjoyable, and even luxurious! 🧠 Humor also aids in reducing the cognitive dissonance that arises when reconciling our understanding of climate change with our own behaviors. Check out the incredible work of the Climate Comedy Cohort. Their unique approach left a lasting impression on me! #ClimateAction #ScienceCommunication #ClimateComedy #BECC #SBCC #BehavioralScience #BehaviorChange
