WHY IS VIDEO SO POPULAR?

Video Makes It Easy To Absorb Information

1. The moving picture is the most compelling way to tell a story.

2. If a picture is worth 1000 words, what’s a video worth?– 1 min. video (30fps) = 60 sec. x 30 pictures x 1000 words = 1.8 million words

“...when you’re dealing with complex concepts, it’s sometimes better to stop talking and just use a

video. It’s very much a picture being worth a thousand words.” Rob Shaddock, CTO, Tyco

electronics
