Cool Paradigms is a bilingual Multimedia Project to introduce Ideas and Concepts

Many of these paradigms will materialize in the form of reproducible objects and experiences useful for their creator and therefore certainly profitable more generally. The author being rarely satisfied with the conventional state of things, he spends a lot of time creating, modifying and inventing to make his life easier, often harder at the beginning, but how satisfying afterwards to use objects and concepts adapted for maximum autonomy.

It's of course very useful to be able to invent and improve different objects and concepts in order to make life easier, also knowing that we rarely manage an optimal solution on the first trial, a website and videos dedicated to these concepts can allow many interested people to save a precious time for improvement of daily paradigms!

Why the name Cool Paradigms?

• The idea is obviously to present cool / nice / useful paradigms, if possible by being aesthetic / impressive and hopefully easy to achieve! Obviously it's rare to obtain all the parameters at the same time!

• Why not a simpler name like: Good Ideas, etc. As with most activities trying to grow it's generally better to be easily identifiable inside a non saturated cognitive field! Cool Paradigms does the trick, it's tonic and says quite well what it's supposed to introduce, basically useful and interesting concepts with a lot of freedom to be adapted to current needs.

• How many ideas in storage? More than 500 and each time a project is realized many new ideas appear from related situations, so exhaustion of ideas is not on the agenda.

What sort of paradigms? We'll have fluctuations, but for now it's mainly :

• Cosmological reflections supported by scientific arguments are taking the lead over other subjects, the reserve of ideas being considerable, do not hesitate to write a comment on YouTube to show interest.

• To Improve everyday home life, especially: the ergonomic of working at home where everyone is free to get a personal organization, like a stand up desk for more possible working positions and more storing room in parallel (some vertical parallelism to be precise). Totally avoiding back pains is also a side effect of flexible work positions with associated tricks like home pull-up bars I may detail at some stage. Improvement of many household appliances like fridges, oven and kettles to save some electricity and speed up the time necessary to many of them! In parallel there is of course an ecological course of action that underlying many of the presented paradigms: energy saving, recovering old material, maintaining gears and appliance a longer time, advice to buy the most sustainable goods, etc. All of them in the 😃 Cool Paradigms package .

• To discuss the benefits and preparations of super foods, called like that because they have characteristics that greatly differentiate them from the majority of foods, Eg. mainly a great richness in micronutrients and/or micro-biota. In the same context, a little bit gardening could appear.

• To Improve and create small equipments concerning certain sports activities: in particular home bodybuilding, cycling and hiking (non-exhaustive list).

• To Test some intriguing questions about data processing and some technical curiosities.

• And when it's very interesting but not cool at all? Let's say that the criterion is to be able to easily be side by side with super-food subjects and not cause digestive problems for those who like to watch videos while eating, which leaves a large majority of subjects available.

Are so many concepts at once and probably more to come reasonable for a YouTube channel ?

• Subscribe it will help 😃 it's free, just one click if you have a Gmail address, otherwise double identification by SMS and any email.

• Each video is also added to a specific category under the “Playlists” tab, which allows you to view only a particular subject.

• These concepts ultimately concern almost everyone: Cosmology! we are all in the same universe 😃, Home Ergonomics, Food, Fitness, Technical Curiosities, Ecology! The decisive question being rather: do the persons concerned have enough time to improve their immediate environment and learn more about important subjects that matter to them? These presentations try to make these processes as simple and fast as possible.

• The versatility of the subjects makes it possible to never exhaust them while choosing those that best suit the present situation. Burnouts and stress being major problems of modern life, versatility makes it possible to address them head-on, for example by acting and publishing on work ergonomics, diet, physical activity, sleep, recovery etc. with some welcome practical trials if one of these situation happens.

Why bilingual English / French?

• I need to practice both languages for my brain to work properly, and recording and hearing myself afterwards has a very good effect.

• Performing a second version with a language change is usually not too difficult.

• Does the symmetry try to be exact? No! Some subjects are easier to solve with one specific language or social context rather than with the other one, and in case of lack of time the channel with the most success is favored. On the other hand many subjects are very easily understood independently from the language, thanks to the visual part of the videos, so do not hesitate to switch from one channel to the other.

• I would have also liked to make a German version, but a 3rd YouTube channel would definitely be too much work. However, it's possible that one or two German-speaking videos will appear on the French-speaking side, and since the origin is Swiss, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Why make a website in parallel of a YouTube channel?

• A website is almost unlimited in terms of written content and photos and is therefore very complementary to the YouTube channel which is excellent for the speed of heavy downloads (video), as well as for their presentations in a context that has benefited from millions of hours of engineers with many motivational factors for content creators and other Internet users.

• Search Engines Optimization (SEO) in the context of the modern Internet is a particularly relevant challenge for the videos of Cool Paradigms.

• But more precisely?

  • Short videos on a standard medium shared by millions of authors do not effectively differentiate themselves in terms of SEO techniques and textual information, so in practice :

  • Lack of text: on one hand because videos are short and appended texts restrained. YouTube's algorithms also give more weight to the effects of videos on viewers (number of clicks, duration of viewing and parts viewed, acceptance of advertisements, etc.), than to semantic content, the value of which is difficult to determine automatically, unlike download patterns which, if the algorithm manages to eliminate robots, clearly reflect the human attention at the base of YouTube's business model, their model is therefore commercially and qualitatively excellent, but more difficult when wishing to position oneself with contents more semantic than visually / orally impressive.

  • Unlike YouTube, a website allows a large number of textual explanations, optimization of meta tags and totally personalized management of external and internal links, which is very complementary to YouTube, also allowing personalized access to videos, additional explanations on those that are published and those that are planned, etc. In short: an ideal synergy, and once the concept proved it may allow the production of a video on this subject, with the title “Synergies between classic websites and YouTube videos” a subject surprisingly invisible for now.

  • In addition to the quality of the published material, the optimization of visibility for a classic website and for YouTube videos have many common points, including the use of clear and well-placed sentences, the enhancement of aesthetic concepts, synchronization with viewers expectations, etc. The synergies between the two mediums can therefore bring significant results.

  • And the Specific Optimizations for YouTube?

    The channel having naturally an interest in pushing its users to optimize the quality of their content, it provides many Very relevant official explanations :

    YouTube Creators
    YouTube Viewers
    YouTube Help Community
    Community Guidelines

    Many YouTubers have also looked into these questions, with some very impressive results! Many search phrases will allow you to discover them, such as : YouTube Tips, YouTube Video Tips, YouTube SEO, Boost YouTube Views, etc.

Short presentation of the author : Computer engineer and electrical mechanic by training, I am bombarded with creative ideas to the point of not having enough time to write them all down, my main goal is to test the most interesting and share them effectively.
