Whether an office or any room, physical space is a commodity not everyone has at all times. And again, there are situations where people might want to share the same physical space but use spatial computing individually. Again, I said light and unintrusive. I’m not sure why you bring up a helmet. You may be mixing this up with a different conversation.
Apple wants people to be intentional and wise about the time they spend on their devices. They still want to give people the most useful and wide-ranging tools they can. This is in contrast to a social media company like Meta that wants people to throw intention out the window and use their devices and consume their content to the max.
You tend to grasp at any criticism so I can never be sure with you.
Fascinating.
Using ‘sellotape’ as a verb suggests you’re from Britain or Ireland (or somewhere exposed to British TV). Nice to hear it being used like this. Brings back warm, nostalgic feelings of Blue Peter being careful to avoid using brand names: ‘self-adhesive tape’!
I seem to remember Blue Peter saying ‘Stickey backed plastic’, which if you think about it is just epic 😂
You know what? I believe you’re correct. Thanks for that. Some great memories.
We can make presumptions about the context of the commercial, but they are just presumptions. Perhaps as you suggest, the dad is mixing work and family unnecessarily because he doesn’t know how to manage his time or he’s a workaholic—that would be sad. Or perhaps the dad has to work so much in order to keep his job that this is literally the only way he can spend with his family—that would be even sadder. Or perhaps he spends a lot of dedicated time with his family but also wants to spend time with them while he’s working whenever he can—I don‘t see anything wrong with that, kinda nice actually. Different ways to interpret it, but I think the point is just that the VP frees you from a multi monitor desk setup and gives you the option to be wherever you would rather be. Maybe there would have been a better way to show that.
Actually the term they used was "sticky backed plastic"
I didn't mention finding it appealing. I'm pointing out their challenge in presenting it as a necessity. If you weren't a devoted fan, you might comprehend that.
