Re: Digicel video service is much needed
@mhhf1ve - I'd be lying if I didn't see a benefit to AI being able to edit videos to just the interesting parts. But there's part of me that wants to caution against this. We're already raising an entire generation that struggles to read anything more than 140 characters and still retain the information they read 150 characters ago. This, in my opinion is having devestating consequences on the intelligence of our community. What will things be like if a baseball game is reduced to 2 minutes?

Re: Digicel video service is much needed
Well, part of the problem is that there's so much content now.. if AI was even better at curating, I wouldn't have time to sleep and catch up with all the videos I could binge watch. 

I can hardly even keep up with podcasts now.

@mhhf1ve Not a bad idea for attention deficit folks! 

I'd prefer longer versions myself. Of course, if AI was better at selecting the content I watch, that would be great.

Re: Digicel video service is much needed
There's one thing that annoys me about video scanning -- the inability to skip. TiVo arguably made the perfect ad skipping button, and I worry more and more that a software version of an "ad skip" button will not always be available. YouTube is already testing it with video ads that users can't skip even after 5seconds. And I hate it.

Re: Digicel video service is much needed
Maybe AI will get to the point where it can automatically edit videos down to just the essential highlights. I think IBM is doing something like this with tennis matches -- editing down the games to just the interesting points without human intervention.

Re: Digicel video service is much needed
Adi, I've seen that helpful video pop up feature-- and it's pretty useful, but I still like watching some YouTube videos at 2x speed just so I can see the whole thing but save half the time watching it. I have to admit I also listen to podcasts at 2x speed too -- just because it saves some time. If I could understand what people are saying at 3x, I would probably want that. But there's a limit to the input speed for my wetware.

And this is where I think mroe traditional entertainment formats for video will struggle when applied to productive or enterprise usage. There are situations where video facilitates productivity, but also those where its actually slows you down. Quickly scanning information is definitely one of them.

Re: Digicel video service is much needed
mhhf1ve - there's also a pop-up frame feature in many streaming videos now, that allows you to see a frame by hovering over the timeline on a video. That lets you quickly find the next segment in a video rather than plugging through something you don't want to watch.

Re: Digicel video service is much needed
With the YouTubes and Facebook Videos becoming what everyone "must" see.. I wish the feature on Youtube that lets you watch at 2X speed becomes more widespread. There are so many videos that I want to fast forward through to get to the end because the editing isn't great but the content is decent. 

Reading text is so much more efficient when you can skip over entire useless paragraphs....
