They were all raving about the 'latest thing', and pointed me in the direction of the latest Kindle, that doesn't even have a card slot... I tried to show them the countless alternatives, but they were fixated on the one product they'd been brain-washed into thinking was the best and brightest. They even ignored the previous incarnation of it (that has a card slot) because it isn't the [i]latest[/i] version, so it can't be any good... One of them even tried to tell me that Kindle "uses a special new technology" that others don't. It seems that Kindle is the only one to use e-paper as far as they are concerned... because someone told them so... and it doesn't matter either that the latest version has an inferior display to the older version (for reasoning, read above)... They all carry Blackberries or iPhones... because they think everybody carries Blackberries or iPhones... because someone, somewhere, once told them they should... because they're sheep... and these people run our finances... What's funny is that when the iPhone burns a hole in their leg, or fails ever to receive calls because it has no reception, or when the Blackberry turns out to be a disappointment, or their new e-reader turns out not to do anything they want it to... they claim that it's still the best because everyone's got one. Give them an alternative, and they simply presume there's something wrong with it... otherwise it would be an iPhone/Blackberry/Kindle, wouldn't it? (lol) Loading...
