Episode 329: Verbal Visionaries: Exploring Word Power

 

• Scenario 1:  

• Pruitt is a verbal visionary who only uses words to respond to messages. She never uses emojis or GIFs. One day all her friends only sent her messages composed of emojis. Should she cave in and respond in a non-verbal way?

• Scenario 2:  

• Raja is exploring the power of words by placing every word he sees in a long spreadsheet. He is also documenting how often he sees the words and  has created multiple categories to classify the words in his document. Do you think this is a good use of time or should he stop this at once?

•  Scenario 3:  

• Shini thinks there is only power in pictures, so whenever she wants to make a point she finds a meme that fits the moment. She will even stop an IRL conversation to show a meme on her phone. Do you think Shini is right about the power of pictures?
