Is the age of Public Speaking gone forever?

Remember when folks used to stand in the town square to share their message with the community?  No, neither do I.  I've read about it in history class.  But this is a picture of the Woodward Dream Cruise in 2017.  As car aficionados stroll by, this guy's message gets lost in the crowd.   Is anyone paying attention?

So just how DO you get your message across in 2017?  That's what this blog explores.  And yes, Public Speaking is alive and well!
