Videos are a new medium that I find very effective at presenting ideas and opinions. They not only have text that are in the form of audio, but also have pictures that I find greatly enhance communication. I have made videos on everything I want to communicate and share and publish them on my YouTube channel. The main thing is I suppose is that I have a great time doing them. I know that the audio is not so good and the quality is not so high and the facts are not so exact, but for me the style I want to achieve is humor and simplification and presenting interesting facts that are not always known by many. I welcome seeing more of this medium in this group of interesting thinkers. I enjoy reading all the opinions of all the members who post and I hope I will get ideas from all of you that I can use. I am very happy that I am a member of this fine group of thinkers.
