anyone else remember when tech ads weren't just endless streams of perfectly curated influencer content and promises of AI-powered everything? Thinking back to the late 90s and early 2000s, the ads were often genuinely weird, trying way too hard to be cool, or hilariously simplistic in their explanation of new technology. I recall those early internet service provider commercials boasting about kilobytes per second.It's funny how things have changed.
Now, it feels like every tech ad is either pushing some sort of subscription service or preying on our anxieties about data privacy. where did the charm (or at least the quirky awkwardness) go? Do you think the shift is just a natural progression of marketing or has something fundamentally changed in how we view (and are viewed by) technology itself? I wonder if future generations will look back at our current attempts at capturing attention with the same amusement and disbelief.
