Unique presentations

Multimedia presentations are everywhere… From interactive Prezi, to Pecha Kucha (20 images, 20 seconds – watch a few! Pecha Kucha shows “The art of concise presentations”) to the above simple, graphic and interesting video. I loved the message on connectivity and isolation. Anyone ever feel this way?
