109: Unclaimed land

Hello.


Panasonic Toughpad press conference
“A second man takes the stage. His name is Jan something, Head of something at Panasonic. His presentation uses multiple greyscale graphs to illustrate technical points. I write down anything I don’t understand. A lot of the other journalists stop writing so much. I wonder if I should do the same. This is cargo-cult reportage, a Simon Says version of journalism, copying the surface actions of those around me in an attempt to produce the same result.”

Headphones on for this one. Probably something to save for when you get home actually. It’s very silly, and made me cry with laughter.
