Sliced Bread Lectures
Author: Shaunk...
I watched this presentation by Seth Godin over the Easter Break. Very good subject coverage and well supported by visual examples. Worth a watch.
Notes:

Wonder saw the potential and spread the idea.
Ideas that spread win.
Century of idea diffusion.

More choices less time.
Obvious thing to do is ignore stuff.
