Its... it's a consumer electronics brand
Of extraordinary social and technological importance. I work in technology, and shifts in mobile technology have significant impacts on my life.
I can understand if this were a knitting board and someone made a comment like yours. In technology, however, it is extremely pertinent to what we do.
- 72deluxe 12y agoIt may be pertinent to what we do and affect our lives and may have limited social importance in our social circles, but they are really first-world issues. People getting incensed or stressed about a new gadget does really pale into insignificance compared to the slaughter of people in wars around the world and the ongoing poverty around the world. Perhaps the social circles we frequent need to be less shallow if they are obsessed with gadgets? I think the thing that many commenters miss is their perspective, and it is a sad missing factor. It also makes these discussions appear trivial and very petty; look at old Slashdot archives discussing new products and it is pretty sad. Just a thought. Keep me in the loop with your knitting board.... :-)
