DeutschEarlier this year at beyond tellerrand Düsseldorf 2015 I had the privilege to attend a talk by Petro Salema. Petro shared his insights about today’s limits in human computer interaction, attention span, mental bandwidth and how to address these issues.

He started his talk with a captivating story from his home country Tanzania about Bwakila, a machete-wielding madmen. This story nicely set the ground for the ideas he was going to present. You could literally hear a pin drop during this intense performance.
If you ever wondered what people mean when they say you should tell a story when giving a presentation, this is it:
