On Monday, the Pentagon Channel did a 3 minute special report on emerging technologies at the Department of Defense. Another special report? you ask yourself. Yes, another special report, except this one draws heavily from actual dialogue of the Armed with Science audio webcast, including an audio clip of last week’s guest, Dr. Mark Drapeau. In addition, the report provides a little more background on the nature of Twitter, the popular micro-blogging service that you’ve undoubtedly heard about and been annoyed by.
Even better is the very natural and comfortable scene in which my colleague, Jack Holt, shares some of the information he’s gathered from his Twitter account. The acting is captivating to the say the least, and it makes you completely forgot to ask why on earth I would be called into a colleague’s office to look at a Twitter post if the very point of having a Twitter account is to share information over the digital network known as “The Internets”?
That’s the power of quality acting. That’s the power of information sharing.
