Grumo Media video for InDinero!!

Grumo media are a company that produce custom made video content for startups and companies looking to improve their brand awareness!!

I recently signed up to the much acclaimed, Netflix, in the UK. I then deleted the account the next day due to one single reason a critical ‘lack’ of up to date video content. 

The site after launching two days ago, seems to be growing well.

However, as the online rights of a lot of content online has already been purchased through SKY and other service providers. I don’t personally see Netflix making the same ground it has made in the US purely down to the ‘lack’ of current & popular content which makes Netflix in the UK, a very limited service in terms of what it can provide in meeting its customer needs. 

I love the usability and the layout of the site, however they need to find someway of adapting their present content to make themselves more competitive, within the online video streaming marketplace.

Will change if content improves:

BABIES/TODDLERS WITH TECHNOLOGY

With a growing number of smart phones and tablets within families, children as young as two, are beginning to pick up these devices and are beginning to access content, play games and encourage learning through the interface offered through these touch screen devices. 

I put this to you, could children be learn entirely from a tablet/smartphone in 5 years time!! I don’t think we are that far off. 

I think we are unconsciously building, an army of tech savvy entrepreneurs/web & app developers, which are going to spur us into a new digital era.

I was having breakfast at Le Pain Quotidian and a 18 month old child started to try to grab my smartphone, automatically connecting with:

A. It was a smart-phone

B. It had a touch screen

C. It was related to something that is fun

Why not? 

Get your 5-10 year old to learn to code, at an age when they absorb information like a sponge, this an invaluable skill to learn for the future. 

Who are these strange beings:

  1. students who don’t get enough time during the day,to work on their ventures at night, forced #nocturpreneurship
  2. entrepreneurs having to meet strict deadlines 
  3. the habitual #nocturpreneur (those #entrepreneurs who work best at night)

If you are #nocturpreneur what type are you?
