While i was sitting at the table looking very business like suit and all, there were many others looking similar. We were at the UCM Christmas Banquet. One of the traditions is that different groups make videos and submit them all to one person.
Figures, this person was a mac, so all the PC users had to convert their files over to the “user friendly” mac format. However, despite being easy to use and the like, there were numerous tech problems when it came to playing all of these videos, this is when someone shouted ” Should have used a PC.” This got my mind thinking about the attack style ads that Mac had put out showing how “easy” mac was to use and then the second thought came; did this comment about PC’s influence anyones decisions about which one is “better?” This I am not sure about but, what i thought was neat was that Windows and PC’s as a whole were getting free advertising and promotion through the difficulties of the other.
All in all i think that it is interesting that these ads and what their style can weave themselves into our everyday lives.
