This is where we're going as a society.
I want the one with the bigger GB's. WTF!
WARNING: IF YOU OWN A BLACKBERRY DON'T READ FURTHER. We are becoming dumber and dumber as consumers. Its going to get to a point where companies are going to give you shit, tell you it smells like rose and it doesn't look like shit, and you're going to buy it. I personally know a lot of people who have made purchases based solely on what the salesman and the marketing for the item says. We are just consuming everything because its there. A company tells you they are the best and immediately they become the best. What kinda shit is that? Disclaimer: Before I continue I must stress that I have a preference/bias towards certain manufacturers/companies. I will always consider their products/services before I look anywhere else for something similar. That is not to say that I advice against other products/services.
Steve Jobs was really at telling people what they want. He just always seemed to get the timing right. All the devices and most device features that companies like Apple launched; had already existed in some form or another. They just managed to either time or initiate, through their marketing, the mass acceptance of the technology. Okay, okay, okay they also packaged it in a way that only Apple can.
Closer to home, looking at Blackberry. I've only met a handful of blackberry owners that know that their devices are just shit that smells like roses. Maybe there's something I'm not grasping, people say that nothing does email like blackberry does email. What exactly does it do to this email?! I'll admit that I'd be the first to advice you to get a blackberry if a major concern of yours is airtime. But please stop talking about that shit like it's anything more than a way for students to spend as little money as possible. Before you make your next purchase, think carefully. Don't just buy what the salesman says you should. That fucker works on commission. Due diligence is something we're seriously missing in our society.
If you really really like something then fine, there's really no better reason buy something. Just don't consume shit as a result of hearsay. Do your own research. The internet is rich with information.
Another thing, get pc/internet literate. Times have changed. Knowing how to change the font is no longer considered computer literate. That's equivalent to a little child learning how to read, and still pronouncing each letter.
I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed... I'm a consumer too. But I take the time out to research what I'm buying. I don't buy shit just because I'm told that it's the best thing since sliced bread. I want to know why they say it's better than everything else around it. Honestly I cringe every time I see "ipad" and "blackberry". Anyway, I have nothing more to say regarding this shit. Nothing constructive anyway. I'd just be talking in circles if I continued. My point though is that, like the bear in the video above, the average consumer is an idiot. That is all.
