This commercial is pure inspiration.
So you’re in a meeting and you’re like, “I should be doing even more stuff right now.” This meeting is sapping only some of my soul and while I’ve got this excess soul lying around I might as well deplete it too. That’s the cue to whip out your Droid and start pounding away. You’re ‘integrating work email’ and whatnot, scoping some kind of blueprint, typing—all at a pace that suggests you’re either a) a robot or b) on cocaine.
[You're so busy you don't even realize how completely crazy looking your building is. Is it a converted parking deck? Why is everthing made of concrete? How comfy.]
But here’s the Droid’s real selling point. It pretty much allows you to become a work robot. Finally! If you’re like me you’ve been waiting around for like ever for technology to be advanced enough to utilize your entire being for the sake of some huge corporation in a converted parking deck. Every child is born with the well-nigh sacred impulse to use robotic arms for the pursuit of higher quarterly earnings. Pretty sure that’s in the Bible someplace.
And that’s why when Cambridge economist Ha-Joon Chang says that free market capitalism is turning us into “Matrix drones” (like Matrix the movie) I’m like, tell me something I don’t already know and already think is awesome.
