Zoom meetings and interviews

Not when it's like this,

much prefer Citrix webex meeting software. You can set your own virtual background like a tropical beach etc and smart enough to keep your body movement in sync.
Please form an orderly queue to webex with me :)

You can do that on most meeting software, certainly MS Teams, Google Hangouts and Zoom, and I think although I haven't tried, Blue Jeans.

Dont you just hate those people who deliberately flaunt their book collection in the background of zoom meetings or TV interviews?

We get it, you read, and are much better than the rest of us.

Some people are buying a canvas that is made to look like a bookshelf and hanging it behind their chairs when they are on Zoom. How sad and pretentious is that?

Is it real though? There's been loads of these doing the rounds that have turned out to be fake (like the John Barnes porn one)

no, this was on a BBC Wales news interview about unemployment during a pandemic. The BBC have since issued an apology for the offence it might have caused.

Re issuing an apology for the offence it has caused that seems to be par for the course in this 'woke' easily offended era. All the old films on TV now have a warning such as 'Please be advised that this film was made when attitudes were different and people may be offended by some of the language used' etc etc. We are all so easily offended now and have to be spoon fed information like this. I travel on the train to London a lot and a regular announcement on the train is 'If carrying hot drinks please be careful that you don't spill it and burn yourself' or 'Please be careful when walking on the platform as it is wet after the rain' OMG. I fear for the children growing up in this risk averse culture. Stealing apples from trees will definitely be out of the question.

Is the mask starting to slip 👀

Broadcasting issuing apologies for offence for language or nudity is nothing to do with being woke, it’s been something that’s been done since the start of Broadcasting

I am sure its not as bad as some of the right wing media would have us all believe. I am sure our forefathers and their forefathers said the same things when they were no longer allowed to send kids up chimneys or down the mines.

We should be progressing as a society, and i think its the role of each new generation to keep moving the needle forward, or else nothing will change. There will always be a spectrum of what seems reasonable to some and what seem preposterous to others, and thats ok.

Luckily people have free will, but some things we choose to do or say may have ramifications. Equally people have the right to be offended, you can choose to care or not, that's each of our own choices as to where that line sits.
