Really, I do.<\/p>\n
But the days of the Talking Heads are over.<\/p>\n
I’m not talking about the band. I’m talking TV. And presenters. And presentations.<\/p>\n
We have social media to thank.<\/p>\n

Teachers and professors lecturing from on high? Also on the way out.<\/p>\n
Note your TV news shows asking, “What do you think? Talk back. Send us your video. Talk to us at Twitter. Comment on our blog….”<\/p>\n
Walter Cronkite<\/a>, bless his trusted soul, didn’t ply his trade in an era of interactivity. He was a talking head, appropriate for the decades he served. A deep authoritative voice coupled with a kind-looking face served him well in his time.<\/p>\n Today, Jon Stewart is the most trusted man in TV news<\/a>. Well, not really. People just voted him as the most trusted newscaster.<\/p>\n In an online poll.<\/p>\n By Time Magazine.<\/p>\n See what I mean? Online polls. Talking back. Old-school journalism meets citizen journalism. Opinions. Interactivity. It’s all the rage.<\/p>\n Burning down the house. <\/span>Last week, Stewart jokingly called his second-place poll rival (TV news anchor Brian Williams) a “teleprompter monkey.”<\/p>\n Does that make the new style of news anchor, a “hyper-interactive monkey?”<\/p>\n And how are you using social media to make your presentations more interactive, compelling, and contemporary?<\/p>\n I ♥ David Byrne. I even ♥ David Byrne’s “I ♥ PowerPoint.” Really, I do. But the days of the Talking Heads are over. I’m not talking about the band. I’m talking TV. And presenters. And presentations.
