Problem: There is a football on the 30 yard line. Solution: Move it to the 10 yard line. Reward: 30 million dollars a year.
Problem: Currencies aren’t manipulated enough. Solution: George Soros can fix that. Reward: 2,000,000,000 dollars in pure, unproductive profits every year.
Problem: Cell phones aren’t smart or big enough. Solution: IPad. The phone won’t fit in your pocket or purse and it doesn’t have a keyboard and it will break into 1000 pieces if you drop it. Oh, and it doesn’t even have a phone. Reward: Another few billion dollars for Steve Geek Jobs.
Problem: There aren’t enough ways to communicate. Solution: Twitter and Face Book. You’re not really communicating, jsut reading intrusive ads, but that’s ok. Reward: Billions of dollars into the hands of one or two men.
Problem: Microsoft Office was too easy to use and everyone was used to it. Solution: Make it impossible to use. Reward: Another few billion dollars for two individuals and higher costs for everyone else.
Problem: Cars shouldn’t be used just for transportation. They should have more communications ablilities than the Space Shuttle. Reward: Thousands of traffic deaths and tens of thousands of permanent injuries and hundreds of thousands of minor injuries due to unattentive drivers and malfunctioning onboard electronics that make your car do weird things. And a few people get rich selling all those gadgets that you don’t need.
Problem: TVs aren’t thin enough. Solution make them thin. Rather than pay by the inch, you are paying by the LACK of inches. 3000 dollars for a TV is better than 200 dollars, right? You can now use that extra 6 inches of dusty shelf space to set your bottle of beer on. Reward? More money for a few people who have a fetish for plasma.
Problem: DVDs were too Cheap. Solution: BluRay. Reward? More money for a few people.
60000+ people buys tickets and $80 a piece and up plus all the tv viewers. The player gets a cut of that.
I’ll grant you that manipulatiing money to make more money is pretty useless.
Cell phones and the IPad are completely different. It isn’t intended to replace a phone. You’re comparing apples and oranges.
Twitter and Facebook are free, so they pay for it with advertising. You get what you pay for.
Office is still easier to use, you just have to adapt to the new technology. Get over it.
People were distracted and getting hurt long before electronic devices came along. Don’t blame something that isn’t the real problem. Drivers need to focus and that IS possible despite the devices.
You aren’t paying for the size of the TV, you’re paying for picture quality. And if they can make it thinner than a piece of cardboard while still improving the quality, so be it.
Blurays hold more content, more stuff = more money.
Pick some better examples and I’ll listen to your argument.
