TED talks are such a good idea on paper, but it generally devolves into the speaker huffing his own farts. That said there are some great ones, like the Gwar TEDx talk, and the Dan Bell one.
I never actually heard of it at all until I started uni, for whatever reason professors love these Ted Talks to a poing they gave us assignments on em.
Their pretty much on the same level as a YT video essays, the only difference is that with Ted Talks you can put it on your resume and look good.
No one's mentioned the Sam Hyde one yet?
I remember them being so big that even fucking Russell Greer was wanting to do one called "Overcoming the Taylor Swifts in your life."
Had a few teachers recommend them as study aids in high school and I always tried to slip my classmates the 2070 paradigm shift one.
But in that same case, something that is Elvis themed and was worth a significant value can still be.
I wonder what the value of this collection will be in 10-20 years when none of the devices will turn on without modification. Though color me surprised that Ipods started becoming relevant again and have a bit of a refurbishing community, it will be interesting to see if that repeats with iphones. I have my doubts.
Depends on how repairable the earlier model iphones are, since Apple started making their stuff much harder to repair yourself. If it’s too much of a nightmare to work on nobody will make mods for it - there are no iPod nano mods whatsoever because they’re all an absolute nightmare to disassemble, while the earlier iPod mini has a whole bunch of mods because it’s much easier to get into.
Mocked? You're a kinder man than I.
They'd get into Ripley's Believe It Or Not or Guinness under World's Largest X Collection." I remember as a kid 20 years ago reading about some woman with rooms full of Pikachu shit or some guy who wallpapered his entire house with airplane sick bags from thousands of airlines. The lesser version is your grandmother having a giant collection of commemorative spoons, baseball cards (one of the first media specifically meant to be collected, it's century-old shit), comic books, etc.
Nice, has crossover appeal from both boomers collecting Elvis merch and boomers collecting pinball machines.
First video is your usual tacky logoflasning goods. Honestly, if it was real. They have to prove it.
