I know it's silly to say "Steve Jobs would never...", but Steve did earnestly love music, it was a huge part of his personality. I absolutely think he would have found this ad distasteful.
I know your statement is sarcastic, but it's disturbing how common this sentiment actually is.
It assumes that humans are unchanging, inflexible automata whose actions can be predicted entirely by what they have said or done, let alone that it doesn't consider the fact that they may simply be a facade. In reality, it is their unstated framework of thinking that guides their speech and actions.
Marketing strategy nowadays is governed by market specialists and when the money is the only thing they value, it comes like that... There's no vision in money
>it is their unstated framework of thinking that guides their speech and actions.
oh don't worry, humanity will probably have BCI technology for that in 20 years. and maybe the rest of society in 40 years.
But yeah, I don't have anything original to say. You're right, but a lot of the powers that be are putting a lot of money into trying to convince society that we're ready to automate out 90+% of labor in all sectors. Creative or otherwise.
I recently got a new iPhone. I'm picturing Steve Jobs yelling at this thing nearly every day. It's mind-blowing how poor the user experience has become compared to early versions of iOS! :\
Judging by the (assumed) sales number of iPad mini, Jobs was not really wrong. And actually iPad mini screen size is around 8 inches (with tiny texts already), 7-in would have been much worse. Well I have said too many useless words here.
