“Every video you've ever scrolled past is secretly a giant pile of numbers. Who picked those numbers, and what are they doing?”

“Your phone is a tiny lab. How does it catch light, trap sound and fool your brain into seeing motion?”

“Why is it so easy to keep scrolling, and so hard to stop?”

“What actually happens between tapping 'record' and a stranger watching your video on the other side of the world?”

“Every new medium, from cave walls to TikTok, changed the world. How will we look back on today's?”

“Why do some videos grab you in the first second, while others lose you before you've even noticed them?”

“How can you tell a horror movie poster from a comedy poster from across the room, before you read a single word?”

“You've looked at media through seven lenses. Now it's your turn: how do you make something people actually want to watch, read or hear?”

“A puck crosses the line in a blink. So how do analysts know which team “deserved” to win, and how did a player once score from behind the net?”
