Everything that is expressed and recorded externally, such as cell phones, computers, memos, books, and drawings, is an extension of the brain. Our brains aren’t just inside our bodies. This concept is important because extending the ego greatly influences how we see the world. We pay close attention to topics that involve us personally. Self-relevance is a key factor that drives our lives. Personal relationships and possessions get a lot of focus, while other areas seem less important. This is due to a feature of the human brain called ‘selective cognition.’ As civilization advanced, humans delegated parts of the brain’s functions to machines. It was inevitable to make good use of these tools. We should take an interest in the Homo Faber. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The reason that unboxing videos are so popular on YouTube is that consumers trust them. Consumers trust them to be on the side of the buyer, not the seller. Unboxing storytelling starts with the box and shows the product after it has been unpacked. It is entirely from the buyer's point of view. Sellers, on the other hand, want to show the product first. In the online world, being on consumers' side is more trustworthy than being honest and accurate - but that doesn't mean it's less important. If you need to earn trust, you should prove that you're on the customers' side. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
