Guy Kawasaki Entrepreneurship is synonymous with selling, and being enchanting about it--by influencing behavior in "ethical, long-lasting ways"--will help you sell, says Guy Kawasaki, founding partner at Garage Technology Ventures, co-founder of Alltop.com and Apple Computer's former chief evangelist. He's also the bestselling author of 10 books, including, most recently, Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds, and Actions, chock-full of usable startup and social media tips on how to do just that.

Media affects culture. Black Mirror (TV series) Black Mirror is a British television anthology series created by Charlie Brooker that shows the dark side of life and technology.

The series is produced by Zeppotron for Endemol. Regarding the programme's content and structure, Brooker noted, "each episode has a different cast, a different setting, even a different reality. But they're all about the way we live now – and the way we might be living in 10 minutes' time if we're clumsy. "[1] In November 2012, Black Mirror won the Best TV movie/mini-series award at the International Emmys.[5] Announced on 12 July 2012,[6] the second season began broadcasting on 11 February 2013. On 9 January 2014, Charlie Brooker announced the third series of the show, confirming at least two more "helpings".[7] Robert Downey, Jr. has optioned the episode The Entire History of You to potentially be made into a film by Warner Bros. and his own production company, Team Downey.[8] The second series is popular in China.
