not only the importance of modern communication tools in today’s activism,

but also how these tools can make or break us,

Obviously, communication has been evolving for quite a few millennia,

but we don't have nearly enough time to cover all of that; so

we’re going to focus on the more recent developments.

Although political debates had already been taking place for many years,

the first televised US Presidential debate wasn’t until 1960,

between Senator John F. Kennedy and Vice President Richard Nixon.

Prior to that, listeners could only tune in on the radio.

by which this debate was communicated to the audience

had a huge impact on how it was perceived.

As illustrated by The Museum of Broadcast Communications,

"... those who heard the first debate on the radio pronounced Nixon the winner,

but the 70 million who watched it on television

saw a candidate still sickly and obviously discomforted

by Kennedy's smooth delivery and charisma.

Those television viewers focused on what they saw, not what they heard.

Studies of the audience indicated that, among television viewers,

Kennedy was perceived the winner of the first debate

The effects of watching the event on television changed the game so dramatically

that candidates wouldn’t agree to another televised debate

Now, more than thirty years later, a newer method of communication,

the Internet, is changing the way we perceive news, social events,

and in a lot of ways, the entire world around us, more than ever;

and a new breed of social awareness is emerging through online activism.

We’ve seen this in recent times with movements like Occupy Wall Street

which sparked in New York and took less than a month to spread

to at least 80 countries, spanning from Asia to Europe, and every state in the US.

According to a recent study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project,

use it to "Like" or promote material related to politics or social issues.

If you guys aren't like in a coma from the last milliad,

you can raise your hand if you're part of that 38%.

28% of social media users post stories and links for others to read,

and 21% said they belong to a group on social networks

that are involved in political or social issues.

"take action on a political or social issue that is important to them."

What does that mean for The Zeitgeist Movement?

First, let’s take a quick look at two of the world’s most popular websites,

starting with Facebook (... big surprise there).

By the end of 2004 it had 1,000,000 users,

and by September of 2012 it had over a billion users.

That's about a 100,000% increase in about eight years.

Over one billion people use the site each month,

and 584 million active users are on there every day.

604 million are using Facebook from a mobile device every month.

The Zeitgeist Movement Global Facebook page has over 90,000 "Likes,"

but through those 90,000 fans, we actually have the potential

By the way, that was only a couple weeks ago.

I actually went back and looked at the insights more recently,

and the potential reach went up by about half a million people

just from 700 more "Likes." So that's how that grows.

As some of you may know, the TZM Official Channel on YouTube

has a total of more than 29 million video views,

But get this: 20 million of those 29 million views,

So the third, and most comprehensive, documentary of the series,

accounts for almost 70% of the traffic to our channel.

So it’s in a pretty good spot, considering

YouTube is the third most popular website in the world.

More video content is uploaded to YouTube in a 60-day period,

than the three major US television networks created in 60 years.

And over 800 million unique visitors are there every month.

It's got over four billion hours of video watched every month,

and 72 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute.

70% of that traffic actually comes from outside the US,

and people watch one billion views a day on YouTube mobile.

Unfortunately, about 80 bazillion percent of the traffic

But to be fair, a large percentage of those are actually probably mine.

But, nevertheless the song is in Korean, and yet

no one in any other part of ... the world actually,

seems to care that they can’t understand the lyrics.

So I guess that does at least somewhat demonstrate my point,

that the Internet, and perhaps music, in this case,

really does make the world a smaller place;

no more competent necessarily, but smaller.

That is, if you consider 225 million miles of fiber optic cable 'small.'

So why am I boring you with all of these statistics?

Well, just 50 years ago, activists relied on rallying together locally.

Today with the click of a button, we can be in a TeamSpeak meeting

with activists from all around the world.

We have an online newsletter with contributions

from various international chapters, in different languages,

and we can hop onto Skype for a one-on-one orientation, with screen sharing.
