<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWe have this thing called \u00e2\u20ac\u0153social\u00e2\u20ac\u009d media. If we think about the word media meaning \u00e2\u20ac\u0153medium, connector of humans\u00e2\u20ac\u009d than social media is a technology, tool or platform which is the middle-man which connects other humans and communities together. This is the huge success of Facebook<\/a> \u00e2\u20ac\u201d their ability to connect other human beings together, and to be an effective middle-man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Movies, tv shows and films as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153media\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It seems nowadays with our quarantine lifestyle, the major platforms which are thriving are streaming platforms. Netflix, Peacock, HBO Max, Disney+, or any platform which has lots of films, movies, tv shows, and \u00e2\u20ac\u0153content<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u009d to stream. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhat is it exactly about movies, tv shows and films which is so compelling to us? Perhaps the ability for these films and movies to connect us to other humans? To connect ourselves with greater humanity \u00e2\u20ac\u201d human stories? Even Disney+ is clever in not branding their stuff as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153movies\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, but as \u00e2\u20ac\u0153stories\u00e2\u20ac\u009d. Because story-telling seems to be much more accurate and the better older term than \u00e2\u20ac\u0153movie\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153film\u00e2\u20ac\u009d or \u00e2\u20ac\u0153show\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We love stories, and effective story tellers. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Even the Iliad \u00e2\u20ac\u201d it is just a really great story. Same goes with all the great Greek tragedy plays of the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tell your own story. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
