FOUND: Ideas from the future.
Yesterday I realized that the very first thing I do when I get my WIRED magazine in the mail, even before I look at the cover, is flip to the back page which always has a picture-story. It’s written by a bunch of different people and is titled FOUND:Artifacts from the future.
Instead of butchering the idea with words I have included the picture of the particular article that this blog is going to be about.
How extremely clever it was! “Vulcan blood!” I thought. There is no doubt; you know what colour that it. But then upon closer inspection, you see – yeah, there….right under ‘clockwork orange‘, peeking out. Yes, you see it! “iPod white” reads the crayon.
Please, someone out there steal this idea. It doesn’t have to be iPod, it just has to be clever. Some big, PR-marketing-ad kind of person, figure out something cool and go to Crayola. I mean, its great becuase your target audience is going to be kids. They’re impressionable right?
I could see McDonald’s doing something like this. Or a cigarette company.
