space150 presents: a 150 day retrospective
TRANSCRIPT
A lot has happened in the 150 days.
We’ve seen a number of significant developments in the world as a whole, in consumer culture and marketing, and in what we suspect will be the world of tomorrow.
We’re now going to take you through the last five months from space150’s point of view.
Enjoy!

Neda… Neda was gunned down by snipers and died in the
street in front of several rolling cameras.
The videos of her death were viewed by millions and
prompted a global outcry.
The world’s response… Came largely through social media channels, and
more specifically through Twitter.
When Iran tried to shut down free communication –
namely twitter - the rest of the world responded by
changing their twitter locations to "Tehran, Iran”
essentially making it impossible for the government
to determine who was an Iranian and who wasn't.
This display of solidarity goes to show how
important technology’s role is in bringing
people together.

The world of tomorrow will... Will take cues from today.

Will focus on fun and function rather than frivolity.
Be on the lookout for the next installment in 150 days.
