Really? So you don’t want me to use it all the time?

Hey everybody! Another week and another interesting advertisement that I found. This time it’s for the brand new Windows Phone 7 Operating System (OS). I just saw this ad the other day and found it to be quite amusing. Honestly, it successfully portrays the ever-growing bond we have with our smartphone in order to get past each and every day. However, after all the satirical humour dies down, you can’t help but notice how ironic the advertisement Windows made it out to be.
So what the video was trying to say is that we spend waaaaaay too much time on our phones and Windows is here to solve it. What leaves me dazed and confused is, do they NOT want us to use it and LIKE their OS? It seemed contradictory to me that they are trying to sell something but are actually mocking it. What they might be trying to say is that Apple or Android phones are too slow, that is why the Windows Phone is better and more efficient, so we can stop working on our phones all day. But, that is not necessarily true, since many who have used those products, know that they are both very competent OSs for smartphones. Or is it because people who use Windows Phone 7 are people who want to use less of their phone and get back to reality. Probably the latter situation is the better explanation.
Yet, isn’t it a good thing that people stay glued to their phones since the OS is superb? Are they trying to sell us a product that we wouldn’t want to connect and enjoy for long periods of time? Maybe I’m just thinking too indepth about it, or maybe I’m not making any sense at all to everyone. Either way, the advertisement is good and it catches people’s attention, like me right now trying to figure out what they are trying to pull here. It sure did its job of getting people to notice and realize their upcoming Windows Phone 7 OS.
Really, what do you think about this ad and would you really buy it?
