Archives For Video – Wednesday Watchlist

Been doing a bit of reflecting while running these past few mornings. Chad Kroeger’s song If Today Was Your Last Day has been on my iPhone playlist repeatedly. Living each day as if it was your last means you must live a principled life and as the author states: Going against the grain should be a way of life. I have come to realize living this way does come at a cost everything worth while does. I am reconciled by the fact that you only live once and this realms is only temporal–the eternal is yet to come.

If Today Was Your Last Day – Chad Kroeger of Nickleback

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each days a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned
Leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less traveled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day
If tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have
If today was your last day

Going against the grain should be a way of life
What’s worth the price is always worth the fight
Every second counts cause there’s no second try
So live it like you’re never living twice
Don’t take the free ride in your whole life
If today was your last day
If tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have
And would you call old friends you never see
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies
And would you find that one your dreaming of
Swear up and down to god above
That you’ll finally fall in love
If today was your last day

If today was your last day
Would you make your mark
On ending a broken heart
You know it’s never too late
To shoot for the stars
Regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
Cause you can’t rewind
A moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
Cause the hands of time
Are never on your side

If today was your last day
If tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have
And would you call old friends you never see
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies
And would you find that one your dreaming of
Swear up and down to god above
That you’ll finally fall in love
If today was your last day

Power of Networks

The following two TED talks reveal just how powerful networks are. In the first video the power of networks is reveal through crowd sourcing global goals and making an impact on thing like child poverty. But the being able to collect and connect global goals and then make commitments also means that the global telecoms and internet providers know not only who and where you are but who you are communicating with and about what.

In this second video the reality of just how much data the telecoms and internet providers have on all of us who are connected through our mobile technologies is revealed. It will be very easy for countries like Iran and China to track who the network leaders are. This makes one ask if bringing down the Berlin wall and the subsequent fall of the iron curtain would have happened if the Stasi would have known who was talking to who and who was leading the charge. Lots to consider.

It is wonderful to watch children and people of all ages appreciate good music.
