The Death of the Grand Gesture

The talk was fun, and allowed me to think a bit about the Grand Gestures I see all the time - billboards in Times Square with neon and action - and understand that not only do they not talk to me but that i look right through them.
Awareness and superbowl ads are great, but what Deb is bringing across is that there is a place for big stuff and for conversations and human connections. While the video ran a little long - it was intended to show the human connections we make without even saying a word.
I think she also made me think about the online vs offline ways we communicate - always something to reflect on.
