Dunno why, but I find myself thinking about where I’ve come from and where I’m going. Wherever it is I’m going, it seems I’m going there really fast. I’ve had a bit of time ‘off’ over the summer and am starting to get back into things with speaking engagements in Perth, Sydney, Brisbane and London. I’m speaking to groups of people about how they can use the internet to promote:
- a concept
- a business
- a product
- a service
- a person
Promotion is one thing – but I’m also going talking to them all about how the internet is an amazing human communication tool. Humans have always communicated - the internet just sped it up, leveraged it, and made it possible to connect with millions of people almost instantly.
It’s like the Jetsons – but better because it’s real.
All this talk of the ‘interweb’ and ’software thingys’ seems a long way from where I came from. My first memories are of my childhood in an outback town in country NSW. A little place called Deniliquin. Population 6000 when I lived there. Think I’ll take the kids there one day.
(How does a boy from the country with a very modest upbringing end up doing what I’m doing now? There’s a story in that, but I’ll leave it for another time. Meanwhile, check out my country home town.)
