lying that exist because of the internet. For

review products or services
6. The Future of Lying cont.
Or an author that creates a pseudonym to
give his own books favorable reviews.
7. The Future of Lying cont.
Or even simple lies that you text someone,
for instance. You text someone that you
have work to do even though you don’t,
just so you don’t have to communicate with
them. They have no way of verifying your
claim since their not there in person, so you
tend to tell these minimal lies more often.
8. Hancock and Robinson
Both being experts in their respective fields,
they have a full understanding of their
topic, are comfortable talking about it and
seem passionate about what their saying.
9. Hancock and Robinson
Hancock is active when speaking, walking
across the stage, gesturing with his
hands, and keeps the audience engaged.
Robinson also does this but in a more
appealing way. You can tell by Robinson’s
audiences response that he has them
captivated, where Hancock seems to have
a harder time building the crowds
enthusiasm.
10. Hancock and Robinson
Although Robinson may be the better
speaker, Hancock seems more like
someone you could approach and have a
conversation with.
11. The Speech
Jeff Hancock kept his audiences attention
by making his subject matter relatable,
using occasional humor and keeping on
topic.
12. Dynamism
3/5
Hancock is fairly energetic about his
topic, but he does nothing to convey why
what he’s presenting is important or why it
affects the individual.
13. Advice
Jeff speaks fluently and clearly, doesn’t go
too much into the details but also gives
enough information to let you build an
understanding of his topic.
Following this model, I believe one can be
an effective public speaker.
14. “What makes some of the best speeches or
presentations so memorable is not that they
are perfect or slick, or overly polished, but
that they are human. And to be human is to
be imperfect” -Garr Reynolds
