Cinema is the Future?
A thought with the new cinematic mode on iPhone and just the trend towards YouTube and film/cinema streaming services:
Invest in cinema.
For example, the new LUMIX S cameras or micro 4/3rds cameras for vlogging or cinema. 24fps or 60fps, and 4k or even 5k.
Ironically enough in 2021 and beyond, MORE people are watching films series and shows (consider all the online streaming services).
Invest in cinema and video — the way of the future.

Let us not be fooled: social media is the matrix.
If you desire more happiness, productivity, well-being and power, you must unplug yourself from the social media matrix. A simple and modest step: delete your Instagram.
Stop listening to podcasts because it will crowd out your own unique thoughts. Better to listen to music than podcasts, because music has the power to uplift and motivate you, whereas podcasts are designed to tell you why what you’re doing is wrong.

For example, what is the best iPhone and the most perfect iPhone? The one that will come out a year or two from now. And at least for our lifetimes, Apple will certainly be continuing to make new iPhones ad infinitum.

A thought: when a parent buys a child a toy because they feel bad about not spending enough time with them, what is it that they’re doing? Actually what they are doing is taking the money they earn from their day job, that is their hourly wage, and transferring that time into a product. and what is the most valuable asset for a parent to do with their child?
