GADGETS ARE SO 5 MINUTES AGO


When we look at the down side of the economy we see a spiraling dismal outlook on society as a whole. However when you look at the latest craze of Cell phones and Laptops there is a soliloquy of new distractions. So we rush out to buy the new thing only to find out that five minutes later there are upgraded and better models of the same .

I remember when I was a child I used to say things like, "Ah that's not fare he got more than me." That is the marketing strategy of today. We are little kids hunting down the best deals for the most we can get and we want it yesterday. If we can't get it we will complain to each other about the negative connotations of the product when deep down we know we want it even when we don't need it.

Another marketing strategy is if it makes them appear cool then everyone will think that I look cool. This is successful in that if Shia Labeouf has the latest Iphone then a short fat balding man could look the same to a gorgeous 20 year old supermodel just by flashing his cell phone. If that worked then you would see Angelina Jolie married to Don Rickles.

they should put an application on the Iphone which Hypnotizes your date into thinking your handsome, or rich because we now know that Iphones can now be obtained for a small amount of cash at Wal-Mart so just by owning one you will not be thought of as wealthy. Maybe they could make an application where you could have imaginary friends and each of your imaginary friends could say how cool you look talking on your new Iphone.

However you are stuck with the Iphone where all your friends say to you, "ooh is that the newest model which has a laser beam that can cut a man in half?" This is a great party trick almost as good as putting my new air book in a manila envelope. When this happens your reply is, "no it's just a simple five minutes ago Iphone, thanks for asking though."
