Voxbiblia at the Reboot Conference

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010

Every now and then we get invited to speak at various events. Thankfully, most of the time they don’t shoot a video of the speech. At the great Reboot conference in Copenhagen last summer I got to speak about when New Media meets Really, Really Old Media. They filmed it, alright, but I somehow managed to forget about it. Then the other day I was alerted to the online existens of me talking about Bibles in front of a great crowd.

It was fun, and I even think that some people managed to get something out of it, but when you watch yourself making a public speech in English (which isn’t my native language), you always notice those small little language twists you use. I promise to be way better then next time around.

The video can be found here.

And how we at Voxbiblia.com intend to change that.

For a good comparison; If you lay out a 35 meter (or yard) time-line, starting with when the first books of the Bible came along, the internet comes in during the last 15 centimeters.

I got very good feedback from the audience. You would think that most in the new media world do not read the Bible – well, they don’t – but that does not stop them from being fascinated by the Good Book. When you do not try to show the Bible down peoples throats, they tend to respect it and like it. It is when you become too obsessive in your misso
