During this major presentation at CES -- the largest electronic show in the world -- Bay seemed to be doing just fine until he starts stumbling over his words. He then lets the audience know that his teleprompter is broken and that he's just going to "wing it." And if he had, it would have been a great victory, but unfortunately, he continues to stumble and finally does the worst thing possible and walks off stage.<br />

The idea of "paying it forward" is an example of sorts of this process because it, too, tests smaller initiatives in close confines but then is found successful and then replicated across a larger population. The result is a cycle of change and progress that launches a movement. This advertisement catches that spirit perfectly.<br />
