Shonda Rhimes 2: The future of storytelling (transcript)

Summary

What happened to the speaker?

The speaker is a very famous writer Shonda Rhimes. Recently, it's said that almost all her programs are very popular and last year, her TED talk made all audiences impressed. The title was "My year of saying yes to everything".

I did not overlook her grumpy eyes’ movements when the presenter Cyndi Stivers told her that.  "I am glad you raised your daughters".

First, Shonda Rhimes tells us that good stores are never going to change. Then she answered, " No, I don't know".

That question was who was doing interesting storytelling right now?

This is definitely strange because she has to write interesting stories as the famous writer forever or she must want to write it. If she didn't know it is true, it will be better to be in a different manner.

Although I only know about Japan, people seem to like watching Youtube more than TV and they are busy to use their smartphones. Even there are good stores in the smartphone, and in the internet, there are too many of it, thus people won't notice it. I think that good stories have to change to more better stories with the times. The business model, medium, and we are changing every day. It'll mean progress.

We have to learn respectfully, live gratefully and make progress steadily.
