Disappear Like A Ninja

I couldn’t get the QuickTime to work for “Christopher S. Penn: New Media 101 @ Bentley College CIS Presents” but then I got caught up in browsing other Chris Penn videos and articles. “How to disappear like a ninja” and “How World Of Warcraft can make you a better marketer” stuck out as particularly interesting pieces. How to disappear like a ninja is about the phenomenon of people disappearing using their ipods or cell phones. When you are on your phone or listening to your ipod no one will bother you… you have basically disappeared. This can be potentially beneficial in certain situations like avoiding an ex. But in other situations some people disappear when it would be best to be visible. Disappearing in uncomfortable situations might be the easiest thing to do but one should be mindful of potential networking situation. Chris Penn discusses this in an interesting way and brings up a lot of questions and food for thought.
